A Chrome extension that guides students through the WISE reflection framework while providing AI-generated feedback. Built with JavaScript for the frontend Chrome extension and a Node.js/SQLite backend that securely handles OpenAI API calls with token-based authentication.
A peer-to-peer marketplace platform for college students to buy, sell, and trade items within their campus community. Features product listings, direct messaging between buyers and sellers, secure checkout, and user authentication. Built with Next.js 15, TypeScript, React 19, Tailwind CSS, and Supabase.
A mood-based music recommendation system that analyzes emotional content from user input to suggest matching songs. Users describe their emotional state and the system identifies emotion keywords to provide personalized song recommendations. Built with Python, Streamlit, and VADER sentiment analysis, operating entirely offline without external APIs.
A focused task management application designed to help users organize their work and maintain productivity. Features smart task sorting by due date, quick date options, a 5-second undo window for deleted tasks, filtering between pending and completed items, and keyboard shortcuts. Built with Next.js 15, React 19, TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS.
A C++ application that manages and organizes student information using object-oriented design principles. Features classes for Students, Courses, and StudentList with dedicated input/output handling modules for reading and producing organized student records.
A sleep education chatbot powered by RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) using content from the EmpowerSleep blog and textbooks. Answers sleep-related questions with cited sources using FAISS vector search and GPT-4o-mini. Built with a FastAPI backend and Next.js/TypeScript frontend.
Players take control of Nix, a talented warrior who has ended up in the Anuc region, far from his home country, in the action-packed 2D side-scroller Nexus. Navigate through difficult levels with changing settings, sophisticated parkour sequences, and frightening enemies.
Oversaw the transfer of three virtual machines to a safe cloud environment on Microsoft Azure: Kali Linux, Windows Server 2022, and Metasploitable. I gained practical experience with risk assessment, OS hardening, utilizing cloud tools to improve operational efficiency, and Active Directory on Windows Server 2022.
