Worked in collaboration with EC to create an events page for the Brain Freeze concert (2/13/2025). Wildly successful and set the precedent for custom event sites though IT for the upcoming lawntopia website. 

IRL is working with the California Aggie on a survey project to analyze readership trends with the goal of improving engagement with our campus newspaper. We are conducting analysis and presenting this project next week. 

IRL is working with units, committees, and commissions across ASUCD to deliver a comprehensive staff satisfaction survey to evaluate employee needs and provide better services to student workers as a student association. 

Working with Unitrans, EPI,  DOTS, ITS, Campus Planning, Capitol Corridor, Yolo County Transit District, and SPIN bike, IRL research is working on a state of the art transportation database and yearly report. We are analyzing public/private transportation, micromobility, and greater connections to regional planning/goals for transportation in Davis. This project will better connect transportation data in Davis, and provide an opportunity for better transportation planning, resulting in an interactive website.

Working with Campus IT to rebuild this app from the ground up using React Native. Our planned MVP is focuses on

2. MAP: Simple Room booking, Class Schedule Map

3. EVENTS: Feed of official campus events and club events

4. MENU: Campus DC Menus, favorite/review food items
