Projects
A platform providing real-time earthquake updates focusing on events with magnitudes of 5.5 and above. It delivers accurate and timely information to users for better awareness and response to seismic activities.
A simple web-based markdown editor that allows users to write and preview markdown content in real-time. It supports common markdown syntax and provides a clean interface for note-taking, documentation, or blogging. Built with React, TypeScript, and Vite, it features live split-view preview, syntax-highlighted code blocks (highlight.js), math/LaTeX rendering (KaTeX), tables, task lists, strikethrough, footnotes, and 40+ emoji shortcuts. The editor includes line numbers, find & replace with regex, undo/redo history, auto-complete snippets, keyboard shortcuts, and drag & drop image support. Productivity tools include localStorage persistence, multiple document tabs, auto-save versioning, export to HTML/PDF, shareable compressed URL links, and clipboard copy. The UI offers four themes (Light, Dark, Solarized, Dracula), four view modes (Split, Editor-only, Preview-only, Zen), an adjustable split panel, auto-generated table of contents, scroll sync, responsive mobile design, and print-friendly styles.
Erase-a-Scene is a web-based background removal tool built with React, TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS. Users can upload an image (via file upload, URL, or clipboard paste) and the tool leverages the Remove.bg AI API to automatically isolate the subject — people, objects, pets, etc. — and strip the background. Results are shown through an interactive before/after comparison slider. Users can replace the background with a custom color or keep it transparent, choose a download format (PNG, WebP, JPG), rename the output file, and share or copy the result to clipboard. The app also includes dark mode, processing history with localStorage persistence, and keyboard shortcuts for a streamlined workflow. It's ideal for creating profile pictures, product photos, social media graphics, or any use case where you need a clean subject cutout.
A web-based ERD (Entity-Relationship Diagram) tool that allows users to visually design and manage database schemas. It provides an intuitive interface for creating tables, defining relationships, and generating SQL scripts for database implementation. The tool supports various database types and is ideal for developers, data architects, and students learning database design.
Face Detection & Liveness Tracking – SmilePay Project
Developed a real-time face detection model using OpenCV (CV2) as part of the SmilePay biometric payment system. The model incorporates liveness detection by analyzingm icro-expressions such as blinking, head movements, and facial gestures to distinguish real users from spoofing attempts.
