Self-analysis - 2014 - Abhi Agarwal
http://abhiagarwal.com/self-analysis-2014
Projects, Interests, Knowledge, and Information. Laquo; Back to blog. Self-analysis is a project that I've been wanting to do for a while. Basically, the project is to build an API for products I use daily and use those to build tools that help me make correlations between those API endpoints. How productive was I on Monday? This query will find productivity using my RescueTime data, and report that. Now we can create more complex queries such as: Am I more productive on days that I use Citibike? I'm goi...

Bridge - 2012 - Abhi Agarwal
http://abhiagarwal.com/bridge
Projects, Interests, Knowledge, and Information. Laquo; Back to blog. Coming into NYU I felt that there was a lack of community at the university. People from different disciplines weren't able to meet each other and share their ideas. Because NYU didn't have a campus people that studied Art weren't really meeting the people who were studying Business. It's called interest dating. The code is online here.

Where Can I Study - 2012 - Abhi Agarwal
http://abhiagarwal.com/where-can-i-study
Projects, Interests, Knowledge, and Information. Laquo; Back to blog. Where Can I Study - 2012. During Finals week, my roomate and I were frustrated that we couldn't find seats to study at our Library. So we decided to try and crowdsource our way into finding us a table to study. We created WhereCanIStudy.com. And yes - it actually is frustrating to find a place to study at NYU. We have 40,000 students who are trying to find and clamp into one library. It's kinda boring and a waste of time to wal...

Storing Knowledge - 2013 - Abhi Agarwal
http://abhiagarwal.com/storing-knowledge
Projects, Interests, Knowledge, and Information. Laquo; Back to blog. Storing Knowledge - 2013. I've been experimenting a lot about what type of book or website I could use or create to try and put my knowledge and what I learn onto it. 1 A plain notebook. I wanted to try something with a search capability and something that would allow me to go above and beyond what a plain notebook does. 2 Website (Work in Progress). This was a pretty good solution but I ran into a couple of problems along the way....

Zeus - 2013 - Abhi Agarwal
http://abhiagarwal.com/zeus-2013
Projects, Interests, Knowledge, and Information. Laquo; Back to blog. I made simple functions that would get the weather, and when the user asked "How is the weather" they would speak. It's extremely simple, and easy to distribute (I made them files as in my tests I ended up calling the API too much).

RFID & Foursquare - 2014 - Abhi Agarwal
http://abhiagarwal.com/rfid-and-foursquare
Projects, Interests, Knowledge, and Information. Laquo; Back to blog. RFID and Foursquare - 2014. Technologically it's not hard. We can use: Node.JS for running the server and communicating with Arduino, the Arduino, a WiFi shield for the Arduino, a RFID/NFC reader, and a form of a database such as MongoDB running in the background. I managed to prototype it - and it works amazingly! One tap and everything is great. You can check it out on Github here. I will be posting more as I make the next prototype.

Prime numbers in Computer Security - 2011 - Abhi Agarwal
http://abhiagarwal.com/prime-numbers-in-computer-security
Projects, Interests, Knowledge, and Information. Laquo; Back to blog. Prime numbers in Computer Security - 2011. At High School I took the International Baccalaureate diploma. For the diploma we had to write an Extended Essay or a Research Paper in a topic. I wrote about this topic because I was always curious how Prime Numbers played a role in Computer Security, and how individuals are able to use these prime number generators to crack codes.

Knowledge & Learning Platform - 2014 - Abhi Agarwal
http://abhiagarwal.com/knowledge-and-learning-platform-2014
Projects, Interests, Knowledge, and Information. Laquo; Back to blog. Knowledge and Learning Platform - 2014. My ultimate goal would be to create a simple map of things I know, and things the user knows and help him visualize it and understand it. Then he's able to learn and make associations, and actually visualize where they are placed on a graph. This would also help him understand where things link together, and see the different connections that exists that he hadn't before.
