Highlander Hub
Campus bulletin that pulls every UCR club event from 640+ Instagram accounts
Figuring out what was actually happening at UCR meant checking a dozen Instagram accounts, a few flyers, and whatever group chat happened to mention it, and I still missed half of it. Highlander Hub pulls every campus event into one place so students can find what's going on without the scavenger hunt.
It now follows more than 640 club Instagram accounts. Every eight hours a pipeline collects new posts, reads every slide of each flyer with Google Vision OCR, and has Gemini decide whether a post is really an event and when it happens before anything gets published. Duplicate posts of the same event are merged into one listing.
Built with the builders at Highlander Builders Initiative. It started as a "why doesn't this already exist?" question, which is usually how my projects start.
