We successfully navigated the System Level Design Review (SLDR) this week! Our team is incredibly grateful to all the reviewers and sponsors for their valuable feedback and insights on our architecture.

With the design officially approved, we are now shifting our focus entirely to implementation. It’s time to work hard and bring the system we envisioned to life!

#SystemLevelDesign #ImplementationPhase #Engineering

This week, we took our System Level Design Review (SLDR) package on a dry run with our classmates, and the feedback was excellent! We received constructive input that has helped us sharpen every detail of our design.

Now, we’re finalizing our materials for the main event after Thanksgiving: the presentation to all IPPD sponsors. We’re excited to showcase our architecture and model and get feedback from the industry experts!

This week was all about implementation. Following our discussions with our coach and liaison, we successfully set up both the Data Preprocessor and the Feature Extractor components.

This is a massive step! With the data pipeline now established, we are much closer to delivering the final, working solution. On to ML model integration!

We just wrapped up our Prototype Inspection Day, and the feedback session was incredibly productive. Hearing the insights from our coaches and judges has given us clear direction for refinement.

A huge takeaway was the chance to learn from students who tackled this challenge before us—their experience is gold! Now, we’re energized and focused on implementing the improvements to our solution for Verifone.

Following our incredible on-site visit to Verifone last week, we had a very productive follow-up meeting with the team. We presented our updated frontend design, and we’re thrilled that they really liked it! Getting their approval is a huge boost as we finalize the user experience.

Now, all eyes are on Prototype Day next week! We’re excited to showcase our complete design and working model to our professors and judges. Stay tuned for the results!

Our team had an incredibly valuable day visiting the Verifone site in Tampa! We had the privilege of meeting with their Product Architects and Managers, gaining important insights into their work and future vision.

Learning directly about the company’s history and strategic direction from these leaders was an invaluable experience. A huge thank you to the Verifone team for hosting us and providing such a productive session. We’re more energized than ever to deliver an impactful solution!

#Verifone #OnSiteVisit #EngineeringCollaboration

We’re proud to announce that our team successfully completed our first primary presentation, where we showcased our ML model design, service architecture, and dashboard design. We were thrilled to receive positive feedback and insightful questions from our coaches and peers.

This is a huge step forward for our project with Verifone. We’re now more motivated than ever for our on-site meeting with the Verifone team at the end of the month!

We’re thrilled to announce the official approval of our team name and logo! Having a strong identity makes our collaboration feel even more real as we tackle this challenging project.

Now, it’s back to work! We are pushing hard to prepare a preliminary design presentation for our mentors and judges. Stay tuned as we share our architectural and model designs soon!

#TeamIdentity #DesignPresentation #EngineeringProject

What a successful meeting with our Verifone liaison today! We presented our envisioned service architecture and machine learning model, as well as the results of our data analysis and feature engineering. We were thrilled to get their approval and positive feedback on our work. Next up, an on-site presentation at Verifone! We’re excited to share our progress in person and continue this journey.

Our team had a fantastic first meeting with our coach, Dr. Zhang, who provided invaluable insights into data analysis and preprocessing techniques. We learned a lot from the approaches of previous teams and are now excited to move forward with a new, innovative strategy.

Looking forward to discussing our plans with our liaison later this week!
