PlayMahjong.io is a online multiplayer Mahjong platform where you can play the traditional 4-player tile-based game of Mahjong with friends or strangers. Other Mahjong websites are either hard to find, don't natively support English users or have an outdated interface. PlayMahjong.io provides a user-friendly experience with an up-to-date look and feel that is intuitive for both new players and veterans alike. It has support for both public and private lobbies, user statistics, game history, and automatic scoring for the many complicated rules of traditional Mahjong.

Syllabl is a mobile app designed to help people learn pronunciations of names in any language. The app allows people to form a group, record and upload their own names. While other users in the group listen to the clips and practice the pronunciations, the app runs a comparison algorithm to measure the similarity. People with non-English names tend to experience unfair judgement. Syllabl is useful in various academic and professional contexts and might help people appreciate the cultural diversity around us.

Diago is an open source load testing tool designed for Kubernetes which provides consolidated testing functionalities compared to other tools. It can generate load tests for services inside and outside of Kubernetes while being able to monitor them and simulate disaster scenarios during tests.

Ultimately, Diago's goal is to improve an organisation's insight into their services before deployment to production, helping them reduce their downtime.

Censorship circumvention, a practice that enables equal access to information under a censoring entity, is an academic field with many technical challenges. We study the challenges of turning dnstt, a prototype for censorship circumvention, into a usable tool. Cecylia Bocovich, a visiting researcher in Computer Science at the University of Waterloo, and a developer at Tor Project, acts as an advisor for our project.
