Here are a few projects I've worked on or am currently building:

Asecnd is an AI-powered platform to help freelancers negotiate better contracts. We created a tool that summarizes contracts and provides real-time market insights, helping users make smarter, data-backed decisions.

• Tools: ReactJS, Flask, AWS Sagemaker, Hugging Face
• What We Did: Built a contract summarization tool that lets users upload PDFs, analyzed them using Hugging Face models, and visualized insights in an intuitive dashboard.
• Results: Won 3rd place in a competitive hackathon (208+ participants), and helped users better understand terms and advocate for fairer contract conditions.

Halfway is an accountability habit tracker designed to boost productivity and mental health. My team and I built a mobile app that helps users stay consistent with their goals using AI-powered chat, image recognition, and dynamic task management.

• Tools: React Native, Python, Firebase, OpenAI, Google Cloud Vision API
• What We Did: Developed a mobile interface with real-time database storage, integrated an AI chatbot using OpenAI, and used Google Cloud Vision API for AI-based image detection.
• Results: Delivered a fully functional cross-platform app that supports user accountability through intelligent reminders and personalized interactions.
