SchoolBizKhan – Find Alumni - Interview with the developer of a fantastic app

Did you have any prior development or coding experience?

This is my first development and I had no experience in coding. I am a planner who realizes ideas, not strictly a developer.

What was the most challenging aspect of developing mobile app?

The most challenging item was to implement real-time user location and current development features set for future development. Also, after launching the new Android version, school data input was challenging for Korea and the United States. I think it will be difficult to input school data all over the world in the future as well.

I am 47 years old now. I obtained a master's degree from a Graduate School of Education. While I was on my way to becoming an educator, I got interested in applications after using iPad, and being impressed by Steve Jobs's enthusiasm after watching his movies. After that I decided to develop 'SchoolBizKhan' which could give energy to all the people worldwide.

Name a few of your favorite apps and reason you love them.

'Twitter': We can communicate with other people all over the world and share interests. 'Instagram': It's a social media platform to share photos and videos. I like both apps in terms of sharing and communicating people's daily lives within the app.

How long have you been working on this app?

It took four years to the present development, with domestic patent application and registration, PCT, US patent application and numerous trial and error projects.

What need of the user did you have in mind when developing this app?

'SchoolBizKhan' is one of the applications for single or business people. For single people, 'SchoolBizKhan' helps to look for and engage others such as their alumni, alumni’s alumni and even overseas alumni, when they are anxious and feel lonely. It means that this app helps people to communicate and engage without any barriers. For the business persons, 'SchoolBizKhan' helps to build up human network and business opportunities through Korea’s regionalism, school relation and kinship. However, there is a significant limitation within Korea. Thus, to overcome the limitation of human network within Korea, this app helps people to broaden their human relationships, not only their school’s alumni but also other people’s alumni. 1) Based on secured school identification. 2) Real-time location service to look for people within maps. 3) Level up through business leverage. Such kind of concept could change the paradigm. It gives more business opportunities by reducing time and cost.

In what way do you think your app is better than similar apps on the market? Please describe in detail what innovation you think you bring and what you are proud of in your app.

There are many alumni related webs, but 'SchoolBizkhan' registered the world's first such patent in Korea, PCT and the USA with a system and method for building an alumnus business based on location. Other applications are only for a single school but our patent’s point is that people could engage with other schools' alumni all around the world. Crossover alumni sharing is such an innovative idea. Even if you graduated from a small university, through this system, you might engage even with Harvard graduates which is an awesome idea. One more thing, if people in 'SchoolBizkhan' don't feel comfortable with real-time location based service then they still could utilize the application with fixed location based service.

What are your future plans and expected features of the coming new versions of this app?

Business history, rating level up, and the auto-scheduler function are still in development. The next version will include the automatic scheduler functions, with them you will be able to view each other's schedule, and schedule appointments without a secretary or any conversation at all.

Assuming new users of your app are reading this page. What do you want to ask them to do (contact you about X, Share the app, etc.)?

I think that it is necessary to make the UI configuration more user-friendly. I would like to ask for suggestions on changes in the development of future functions. We are currently putting the US school data in addition. It is structured that way to ask the manager whether there is school information or not.
