Highlander Builders Initiative

Projects

Ambitious systems, products, and platforms designed and built by Highlander Builders Initiative.

Highlander Hub

The premier student event discovery and community engagement platform at UC Riverside. Highlander Hub acts as UCR’s centralized event registry, bringing student organizations, builders, and community leads into a single, cohesive feed.

The Problem

Campus event information at UC Riverside was historically fragmented across dozens of Discord servers, Instagram accounts, and private channels, making it difficult for students to discover community happenings.

The Solution

A high-speed, intuitive event portal. Club leads and student organizers can seamlessly submit events via a streamlined `/submit` pipeline, which compiles directly into a beautiful, lightning-fast public events feed.

Core Innovations
  • Real-time dynamic feed aggregating diverse organization events
  • Unified `/submit` portal prioritizing ease-of-use and UX aesthetics
  • Intelligent search and tag-based filtering for frictionless discovery
