Our team is comprised of students from the University of Central Florida's Electrical Engineering and Computer Science department.
With specialized skills in several areas our team was able to tackle the challanges faced during the research and development of this project, hovever there were a few challanges where new skills were required, and our team was able to grasp these skills to bring the project to completion.

a computer engineering student at the University of Central Florida, is looking for ways to improve the everyday lives of people, and as such he was strongly supportive of creating a chair to help not fall into the habits of bad posture. As yet another computer engineer on the team the positions with hardware have been filled by the most qualified members, leaving the one topic no-one on this team is familiar with, the cloud. A combination of database management and active computation of received data the position is more akin to an IT position but ready to tackle any problems ahead he forges forward in his learning.
an Electrical/Computer Engineering Major at the University of Central Florida. As the second electrical engineer in the group, his main job will be to assist with hardware interfacing; specifically with the pressure sensors and vibration motors selected. In charge of assuring all sensors were properly integrated and worked as they should. He was responsible for the embedded code used for the project. The code was used to analyze and track the user's seated posture. The code also checked that someone was actually seated on the chair and turned off the system when the user stood up.
an Electrical Engineer Major at the University of Central Florida. As the pure electrical engineer in the group, he will be responsible for finding a power solution for the system. Another main role that Freddie has is PCB design and hardware interfacing. During the prototyping phase, he will make sure all the hardware is functioning properly.
a Computer Engineer Major at the University of Central Florida. One out of the three computer engineers in the group, he will be tasked with the development of the Posture Perfect user application. Developing, troubleshooting, and testing of the application is his primary task. Secondary task is co-development of the code for the microcontroller and/or server.
