PLAI 2023

We are living in the days where Artificial General Intelligence is slowly becoming a reality. With tools like ChatGPT, Midjourney, and Bard, living a fully digital life is no longer a distant dream but rather a sight that is within our reach. At PLAI (Pacific Laboratory of Artificial Intelligence), we are in the process of developing a multimodal agent which can simulate a realistic player in both it's actions, and communication. This 'virtual buddy' will be able to react to the surrounding environment while verbally reponding to the verbal cues initiating by the players in the same session. In this experience, my role is to develop a virtual sandbox where players are able to sign up and contribute to our data collection for our research. I led the design of the architecture for the whole full-stack application by linking our React frontend to our backend, and designed the entire AWS infrastructure in the backend to ensure scalability and efficiency. Some of the AWS services I have picked up along the way include EC2, Route53, S3, DynamoDB, CloudFront, and Lambda. In conclusion, this experience helped my growth as a software developer, equipping me with invaluable expertise in design, networking, and automation. I have honed my ability to conceptualize and implement complex solutions in a dynamic, digital ecosystem, creating a product which is at the core of artificial intelligence innovation.
