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.
