Blog 1 - Hello World Bio My name is Jay Langford, and I’m in my final year of college, studying Applied Computing with a specialisation in Cloud Computing. I’m new to the world of IoT with no previous experience, but I’m excited to learn about how connected devices can be used to solve problems and improve everyday life. I’ve always been passionate about everything computers, and in my spare time I enjoy tinkering with tech, gaming, and exploring new ways to use technology. Outside of tech, I love music, I’m a big fan of football and enjoy running to stay active. Ideas IoT Plant Monitor A device that monitors the soil moisture, temperature, and light levels for indoor plants. A dashboard shows soil moisture percentages, current room temperature, and light levels, with recommendations for watering or moving the plant to a sunnier spot. It could also send notifications to a user’s phone when the plant needs water, more sunlight or anything extra. Smart Exercise Band A weara...

  Alex Fan – Blog 1 – Hello World Bio My name is Alex Fan, a 24-year-old from Waterford. I’m currently a 4th-year Computer Science student at South East Technological University (SETU), specialising in the Cloud and Networks stream. Prior to this, I pursued nursing at Trinity College Dublin but transitioned to computing after two years to follow my passion for technology. Outside academics, I am deeply interested in health and fitness. I’ve been working at a leisure center for the past four years and have been actively training in the gym for seven years. Additionally, I have a strong passion for music and have participated in multiple choirs, one in which we performed at Carnegie Hall in New York. I had the opportunity to intern at Red Hat for eight months on the DevOps team for  OpenShift AI. This experience provided me with valuable industry experience as a  software engineer and enhanced my problem solving skills. A key piece of advice from  my mentor at Red Hat ...

  Bio: My name is Shane and I am 20. I am studying Applied Computing, Internet of Things. One of the main areas of computer science that I am interested in is human computer interactions & how people can interface with computers beyond visual, gesture and touch controls. I chose to study Internet of Things because I enjoy building things and this course allows me to be creative and independent in what project I wanted to pursue. For my final year project, I am working on "Technology & The Body: An inexpensive, non-invasive prosthetic arm alternative". I am investigating if it is possible to make an inexpensive prototype prosthetic using mostly environmentally friendly materials such as PLA which is a bio-degradable plastic and easy to source materials so that the project will be more easily reproduced. As part of this project, I am investigating the MyoWare 2.0 sEMG sensor which measure muscle stimulation, this sensor will allow me to control the prototype my fl...
