My Work
Projects.
Step into my world of code. Each project is crafted with a blend of engineering and curiosity, tackling real-world challenges with a mix of AI insights, full-stack finesse, and scalable solutions. These projects represent my journey to create impactful, user-focused technology.
Project InSight
Understanding the world without sight presents unique challenges, from recognising objects to navigating unfamiliar spaces. To address this, I developed an AI-powered assistive application that helps visually impaired individuals perform everyday visual tasks. This project uses the VizWiz dataset a real-world dataset captured by blind individuals to train a deep learning model. Implemented with ResNet50 and Bi-LSTM to enhance image captioning accuracy while ensuring robust performance across diverse images. The mobile application was built using React Native, prioritising privacy and security by avoiding third-party APIs for image handling.

Project EOS
This project is about using Satellite images and data to predict the damage caused by floods, wildfires, earthquakes, and oil spills using image processing and deep learning techniques. We used an end-to-end trainable neural network architecture to perform identify building footprints and damaged building segmentation tasks. I was responsible for training Convolutional Neural Networks and developing our own index to assess the flood damage.

Java Staff Workload Management System
This Java application helps manage staff workloads by allowing users to record staff details, assign duties, and calculate total workload hours. The app also supports searching for staff members or modules and provides the ability to import/export workload data using CSV files. Additionally, it includes a secure login feature with role-based authentication. The technology stack includes Java for core programming, JUnit for white-box testing, JavaFX for the user interface, object serialization for data persistence, and FXML for UI layout structure. This project has been a fantastic opportunity to enhance my Java skills and gain hands-on experience with OOP concepts, white-box testing, object serialization, and UI development.
