My Projects
Group Project: FutureLink🔗
Future link is a desktop application that seeks to connect users with the all-too-unknown future, providing guidance for decisions that many people find to be overwhelming. This was a collaborative project, where I was the Project Manager. The project features an informative chatbot, investment projections, a budgeting tool, and a questionnaire that uses KNN to determine the best state to live in
Solo Project: Image Captioning using BLIP🔗
In this project, I explored image captioning using the BLIP model. I combined my interest in AI and web development to build an app where users can upload images and get generated captions. Using Python, Flask, and the Transformers library, I created a user-friendly interface. This project helped me understand advanced machine learning models and showed how AI can describe visual content in practical ways.
Group Project: TrailQuest🔗
TrailQuest is an all-purpose hiking desktop application designed to connect hikers, share experiences, display nearby locations, and track hiking progress and adventures. I was the Project Manager in the project, and my proudest contribution software-wise, was the implementation of the Location retriever. loads with the location of the user (via IP address), which is processed and used to show the user the nearest 25 Hiking Trails to their location. If a user has a level of security where the IP cannot be resolved, then the default location is Los Angeles, California. The user can then opt to enter a different location in the query boxes to display hiking locations nearby to that location instead.
More on my Github🔗
These are the key projects I wanted to showcase, but I have many more on my GitHub. Each project reflects my journey and growth in the world of Software Development. Feel free to explore my GitHub for a deeper dive into my work and passions.
