SMS-First Emergency Response
Core Problem
Standard emergency applications fail completely when typhoons and natural disasters destroy cellular internet infrastructure.
Role & Focus
Product Strategist & Design Lead
Technologies
Architecture & Background
Directed product architecture and UX for an emergency response prototype built for infrastructure failure. Identified SMS and on-device TensorFlow Lite as the key differentiators, delivering reliable flood prediction and incident dispatch without active internet.
Engineering Strategy
Engineered an offline-first mobile architecture utilizing SMS authentication, cached maps, and on-device TFLite flood risk prediction without internet access.
Key Technical Implementations
TensorFlow Lite for on-device flood risk prediction
SQLite offline caching for maps and routing
SMS-based authentication (no internet required)
Deterministic offline-first design
