Zummerizer
Zummerizer is a full-stack web application that uses AI to generate concise summaries of online articles. Just paste a URL, and let the AI do the rest!
Linkedin Job Application Tracker Chrome Extension
A web extension that allows users to track their job applications on LinkedIn. It provides an interface to manage and monitor job applications and converts it to a .csv file.
Interactive Algorithm Tutorials
An interactive learning website that allows students to learn important search algorithms like DFS, BFS, and A*. Also allows for an interactive maze activity, which represents a real-world usage for these different search algorithms.
Simple File System Emulator
This project implements a simulated file system in C with features like fixed-size, block-based emulated disk stored entirely in memory. It allows for core file system functionalities through the command line terminal. The system also manages storage using bitmapping, file descriptors, and an open file table, closely modeling fundamental operating system file system concepts.
Crave Chef AI Assistant
Crave is an AI-powered cooking assistant that helps users follow short-form recipe videos by turning them into clear, step-by-step guidance. Using Google’s GenMedia models, it acts like a real-time assistant chef, making fast-paced content easier to actually cook from.
Artist Guessr
Fun little personal project inspired by the website 'Heardle' where users can listen to snippets of songs and guess which artist's song it is.
