Hi, I'm Jeska Maya Tubongbanua! :)
An aspiring product engineer and designer making cool solutions through technology and pretty graphics.
An aspiring product engineer and designer making cool solutions through technology and pretty graphics.
I'm a passionate Mechatronics Engineering student with a unique blend of technical expertise and creative vision. My journey combines engineering principles with design thinking to create innovative solutions that bridge the gap between technology and human experience.
Through my diverse experiences in engineering outreach, UI/UX design, and project management, I've developed a holistic approach to problem-solving. I believe in the power of interdisciplinary collaboration and strive to make technology more accessible and meaningful for everyone.
Work in Progress; Click on the projects to view the photos.
Collaborated with a team of 4 and created a A community-driven platform that helps gardeners share surplus harvests with local communities. It combines IoT plant monitoring (optional), AI-powered plant avatars, and a neighborhood food-sharing network to reduce waste and improve food access.
Empowered grades 7-8 students by teaching engineering design principles, coding fundamentals, and iterative game optimization through Python and block-based programming.
Developing a mobile-optimized web app and Figma prototype for a community platform connecting Black healthcare professionals across Canada.
Designed creative apparel and merchandise representing engineering student culture.
Managed corporate sponsorship relationships and designed professional sponsorship packages to secure funding for engineering student initiatives.
Built an automated financial tracking system using Google Apps Script and JavaScript that streamlines EngSoc's expense reporting through Google Forms integration, enhancing financial transparency and efficiency.
Coordinated cross-functional engineering teams and streamlined project workflows using ClickUp, ensuring timely delivery of multiple concurrent initiatives.
Recreated the popular time-management game using Python, implementing complex game mechanics, customer AI, and interactive gameplay elements.
Worked with a team of 4 to design an affordable bioengineered filtration system for BC farmers to combat drought conditions by purifying the river through reducing runoff water using sustainable, natural filtering mechanisms.
Collaborated with a team of 6 to develop an innovative healthcare app that optimizes hospital workflows and schedules to reduce patient wait times while preventing healthcare worker burnout through intelligent shift management.
Collaborated on UI/UX design for an interactive mapping application that leverages NASA Earth Data to enable 3D printing of terrain models for water elevation and topographical analysis.
An interactive, real-time guide app for plant care practices mainly for hobbyists and small-scale framers. This bridges the gap between existing separate community, marketplace, and real-time guidance tools to incoporate a more personalized (with sensor data), engaging approach. Used Figma to create wireframes for as a mobile app prototype.
Designed the software and mechanical hoodies. The mechanical design ended up being used and iterated for final production.
Created a bunch of different, fun, and simple activities for students in Gr 7-8. Focusing on STEM skill-building using fun technology like Makey Makey, Scratch, Python, TinkerCAD, and hands-on building.
