There are 15 spots, first reserved for committed members and then if they are not all filled, some drop in players are selected to join. To become selected for drop-in, you have to respond to a specific text message that the organizer sends out the day before. https://vandyliu.com/proj/device-simulator-express-microsoft-internship/ Sun, 12 Jan 2020 00:00:00 +0000 https://vandyliu.com/proj/device-simulator-express-microsoft-internship/ Device Simulator Express Check it out here This was an open-source project I worked on while interning at Microsoft. With 3 other interns, we contributed to an existing project that was started by a previous Microsoft garage cohort. We added two new microcontrollers (BBC micro:bit and Adafruit CLUE) as well as enhanced the application quite a bit by adding new features such as virtual environment support, new templates and more. https://vandyliu.com/proj/ubc-course-auto-registrar/ Sun, 05 Jan 2020 00:00:00 +0000 https://vandyliu.com/proj/ubc-course-auto-registrar/ UBC classroom Using Python, Selenium and BeautifulSoup4, I was able to create a bot that automatically registered me in UBC courses once a spot was available. There are other services similar to this one out there, but I wanted to be a little different. Almost all the other services available (paid and free) only notify you once a spot is available. I wanted to actually automatically register you in it. https://vandyliu.com/proj/direction-message-dm-us-hackathon/ Sat, 30 Nov 2019 00:00:00 +0000 https://vandyliu.com/proj/direction-message-dm-us-hackathon/ DM us (app) Languages/Technologies: Python, Flask, Microsoft Azure, Twilio API, Google Maps API A Flask app hosted on Azure that communicates through SMS messages to provide users with real-time transit information and directions, which is usually only available with data.

I love everything about the game and I enjoy playing it a ton. After high school ended, there wasn’t much opportunity for me to play and I got caught up in a lot of other things like school and work. However, I started dropping in at this indoor soccer event every Thursday. Because I missed the registration date, I am not a registered player and can only play if there aren’t enough registered players willing to play that day. https://vandyliu.com/p/updating-my-nba-project/ Sat, 02 Nov 2019 00:00:00 +0000 https://vandyliu.com/p/updating-my-nba-project/ Website In Action Click here to see it! If you haven’t seen my other blog post, make sure to read it first. In the past summer, when I was happy with my project, I decided to host it on heroku and github pages and leave it be until the season started. Once the pre-season started, I noticed a major problem: the boxscores did not update until the game finished. https://vandyliu.com/p/full-stack-nba-project/ Sun, 15 Sep 2019 00:00:00 +0000 https://vandyliu.com/p/full-stack-nba-project/ November 2, 2019 - UPDATED BLOG POST Website In Action Click here to see it! BoxScoreQ is a website to keep you updated on NBA games and their box scores quickly. Whenever I come home from work or school, I open up and see what NBA games I should tune in to. However, I would always want to look at the box score first to see if there is a particular game that might interest me like a game where Derrick Rose currently has 41 points or a game where Klay Thompson is 6-7 from 3 point range.
