Experimental · 48-hour hackathon team project — I led product & design

Mingkeming key art: poster for a language-learning app
Product

A 48-hour hackathon team project where I led product and design. The premise: today's language textbooks are stale and out of tune with young people. Mingkeming turns short videos into personalized language textbooks — fast-paced learning paths, easy little stories, and matching exercises. It won the Intuition X hackathon's “Outstanding Product Award,” proving rapid idea-to-demo execution.

Engineering

STT extracts dialogue from videos → an LLM with prompt engineering rewrites narrative pacing and difficulty → TTS synthesizes the output. A pure front-end prototype, going from concept to demoable product within 48 hours.
