resq · disaster response
Multimodal disaster-response app.
context
ResQ is a disaster-response app with two distinct modes: public, for everyone on the ground; and authority, for the responders making decisions about where to send help. Both modes share data; neither tolerates noise.
what i built
Seven production-ready screens across the two modes. A multimodal verification pipeline that combines EfficientNet, MobileNet, YOLOv5, Gemini, and live news ingestion to classify severity and aggressively filter false positives.
engineering choices
Verification was treated as a layered problem. No single model is trusted; each gets a vote and the pipeline weighs them against live news context before anything reaches the authority view.
outcome
Placed 2nd of 147 teams at the hackathon final. The verification pipeline is the part of the project I would carry into a production version unchanged.
