URSP Student Highlights: King Cheng
My name is King Cheng, and I am
a senior majoring in Computer Science. I am currently working with Dr. Shanjiang
Zhu and his students. My main task on the project is developing an Android
version of GMU parking helper application for mobile devices. The main purpose
of the application is to inform the users how busy the parking lots are, and
collecting data from users if only they agree to provide the information to us.
On a daily basis, I spend most of the time developing features that interact
with users and the database that manages crowdsource data. Moreover, testing
the mobile app before publishing to Google Play store is another major task
during the project development. I am also teaching myself how to use the features in
Android Studio, which is a software that is used for developing Android
application. I am also learning how to develop an Android
application while working on the project. Even though Java uses the same
language, there are many features, which I have not used before. Working
on the project has helped me improve my problem solving skills and the skill
of self-teaching. I believe these skills will be appealing to my future
employers even though I may not work as a mobile app developer in the future.
