Personal Portfolio Website

This very website! A showcase of front-end development skills, featuring a responsive design, animations, and interactive elements.

Yapr - iOS Real-Time Translation App

An iOS native app that provides real-time translation with voice cloning using Eleven Labs, popular LLMs for personalized translations, and language learning features.

Anomaly Detection & Classification in Video

Developed a deep learning pipeline for detecting and classifying anomalies (e.g., Abuse, Arson, Robbery) in video sequences using pre-extracted features, ensemble neural networks, and Focal Loss. Achieved ~91% accuracy with techniques like PCA, data normalization, noise augmentation, hyperparameter tuning, and Stratified K-Fold cross-validation. (Based on UCF Crime dataset and personal project experience).

ASL Computer Vision Translation Model

A computer vision model for translating American Sign Language (ASL) using the How2Sign dataset.

Local Restaurant Waitlist App

A comprehensive waitlist application for local restaurants featuring geofencing, integration with popular review sites (Google Reviews, Yelp), menu translation, and filters for food allergies and religious dietary needs.

Restaurant Custom POS System (MVP)

A minimum viable product for an accessible and user-friendly restaurant Point of Sale system. Includes quick order submission, a companion app with speech-to-text for order accuracy, quick notes for customer needs, and an LLM with RAG for a quick reference guide.
