Personal project
Laundry Bot
IoT system that notifies hall residents via Telegram when their laundry is done — no more guessing or wasted trips to the laundry room.
The problem
Eusoff Hall had 6 washing machines shared across ~80 residents per block with no visibility into machine availability, leading to wasted trips and scheduling frustration.
What I did
Built a 2-person prototype: wired vibration sensors to a Raspberry Pi Zero to detect machine state, synced status to Google Sheets, and connected it to a Telegram bot where residents could check availability or reserve a machine.
Outcome
Working prototype that validated the full pipeline — sensor → Pi → Sheets → Telegram. Upgrading works to the laundry area prevented a full deployment before our last day at Hall.
