I've worked on a variety of projects, from simple websites to complex web applications. Here are a few of my favorites.
reverse engineered Google Gemini's image watermark algorithm and shipped a fully browser based removal tool using NCC detection and per pixel alpha estimation. No server, no uploads. Open source (MIT) with Polar licensing for the Pro tier.
Legal PDF reader. Drop in an NDA, lease, or privacy policy. GPT-4o-mini returns a plain english summary, flags the clauses worth worrying about, and answers follow ups in a chat. Anthropic is the fallback when OpenAI rate limits.
Telegram bot. Paste a YouTube URL, get back the video trimmed to your timestamps at 144p to 4K, or converted to MP3. BullMQ and Postgres run the job queue. yt-dlp does the downloads.
Dashboard watching Xandeum's pNode network. Scores each node by uptime, version lag, and flapping. 24 hour health trends and a world map of node locations. Grant competition submission.
