Tausif - AS2: Week 1 Blog: Project Reignition

By

This week marked the beginning of Trimester 2 for Advanced Studio. I attended the first class where Roshan outlined the structure: weekly blogs, mandatory checkpoint presentations at weeks 3, 6, 9, and 12 requiring full team attendance, a prototype submission at week 6, and a final board presentation. The immediate priority is establishing a Git repository with Roshan added as a collaborator by Week 2 to track commits and development progress.

After class, I organized a meeting with Manzil to explore development tools and review class overviews. We met at Manzil's place to test GitHub Copilot, Codex, and other AI-assisted coding tools to determine how they could accelerate our development workflow. We discussed using these tools for code generation before pushing to Git.

I also discussed team management techniques with Roshan, focusing on non-verbal communication strategies and positive reinforcement approaches to improve team coordination. These tactics will help me assign clear tasks, monitor progress, and provide constructive feedback effectively.

Throughout the week, I gathered availability information from team members, including class times and work schedules, to establish work times for project collaboration that align with all team members' goals without clashing commitments. This process is ongoing and will help coordinate regular collaboration sessions. Based on the information collected, I proposed team meetings for Tuesday nights pending team consensus.

I researched Git repository setup options and began the configuration process.

 This week I suggested that we build a web-based application, since it would be easier to present and maintain . I also shared my screen to walk my team through serveral of my past project s, includes a Movie Review Web App , an Advanced Web Project , a Shooter Game and a Task/Calender App . These demonstrations highlight my technical ability acrosss both web and game development and based on this the team suggrested that I would be the most suitable choice to take on the role of main developer for the project. Beyond my project showcases, I also supported our collaboration setup by creating a Discord server so the team could share updates and stay connected outside formal meetings.

Tausif Rahman This week I presented the  Audit App  concept with its two parts:  Order Audit (OrderAuditPro)  and  Walkthrough Auditor . I later uploaded documentation and demonstration files of an Android version of the Order Audit module, which helped the team understand the concept more clearly. In addition, I encouraged the team to think about their  past subject projects  by asking what they had worked on in Android, iOS, cross-platform, and project management courses, to see if those experiences could be adapted into our current project. Alongside that, I shared several of my own past coursework projects, such as  ScholarSwap  (resource and book exchange platform),  SurvivAway  (a budgeting and life-flow helper), and  FocusFlow  (a study planner with ADHD-focused features). I also raised the issue of  legal risks  in some ideas, such as consumer liability in a Parking App or data security concerns in a Pass...

  participated in the voting process and initially leaned toward the Audit App, but after deeper discussions, I found the Customer Service Checker and Vehicle Manager ideas more scalable and innovative. I located an academic paper titled E-Charge, which described an EV-charging-station planning system using open data and efficiency modelling. I shared the paper with the group and led a discussion on how its methods could guide our approach—particularly its use of driver-collected data, efficiency mapping, and route-planning optimisation. I also helped analyse how to simplify our version for Trimester 1, keeping it practical while leaving room for AI integration later. Additionally, I began finding and reviewing more EV-planning research papers to contribute to our shared knowledge base.
