CEO at loplat (location platform)

Technology / Software / Internet

I have 15 years experiences on the software development of mobile phone. During my Ph.D course, I researched about the building of WiFi Access Point Map, which uses crowdsourced data without requesting users' interaction. The research aims to achieve the pervasiveness of WiFi positioning system. Currently, I am developing context-aware (location-based) services on smartphone. Google Now is good example of context-aware service, but I am focusing on removing unnecessary steps in the process of using smartphone based on the user's context and preference. Now I am running a startup, loplat (location platform tech company). We are building offline data platform.
