Intelligent Ambulance to Hospital Routing software for Georgia Tech Startup (Create-X) Capstone. Our project won best overall project with highlights below.
Led team of 6 seniors to build routER, an intelligent EMS-to-hospital routing startup, winning best overall capstone project; product deployed live at routerems.com with endorsements from VP-level stakeholders at Grady Health System and Metro Atlanta Ambulance Service
Architected serverless AWS backend (Lambda, Aurora PostgreSQL, Location Services) achieving 177ms average response time and <1.2s at 99th percentile under 200 concurrent routing requests, well within the 5-second emergency-critical requirement
Designed novel crowdsourced wall-time estimation algorithm using ambulance geofencing, weighted per-hospital and per-EMT bias corrections, and inbound ambulance load balancing; drafted patent claim distinguishing from 2 high-risk prior art patents
Directed 127 customer discovery interviews across 4 EMS agencies and 5 hospital networks; conducted 20 hours of live ambulance ride-alongs and filed a FOIA request to obtain regional EMS datasets
Built and field-tested MVP (React/TypeScript + Supabase); validated UI with NPS scores of 72 and 43; modeled $131M SAM and $143.45/ambulance/month pricing at 75% gross margin
