GuitarLab AI

Built as a guitar-focused AI/music tooling project — GuitarLab AI combines audio analysis, practice feedback, and tone-planning tools for electric guitar workflows. The project includes a Practice Coach for reviewing `.wav` guitar recordings, comparing takes against notes, tab, chords, or strumming patterns, and returning practical feedback with local practice history. It also includes a Valeton GP-200 Tone Maker that generates structured patch plans based on tone goals, pickup type, and connection mode, making it a strong exercise in connecting music, audio analysis, backend APIs, and a polished frontend into a practical tool for guitar practice and tone building.

Smart Campus Compass/Planner

Built in mostly JavaScript — a campus planning tool that models UF locations as a weighted graph and calculates the shortest walking paths between dorms, buildings, and classes. It factors in class schedules, travel time, building distance, and route closures to check whether a student can realistically make it from one class to the next. Also includes student registration, class management, connectivity checks, and personalized "student zone" analysis for commonly traveled campus routes.

ML Digit Recognition

Built in Python with PyTorch — a basic machine learning project that trains a neural network to recognize handwritten digits from image data. It covers the full ML workflow, including preprocessing, model training, testing, accuracy evaluation, and using the trained model to make predictions on new digit inputs. The project was a strong introduction to computer vision, neural networks, and how AI models learn patterns from data.

PowerShell Email Automation

Built in PowerShell — an email automation script that collects received emails and sorts them into an Excel sheet using details like sender, time received, subject, and message content. It turns inbox data into a structured, searchable spreadsheet, making it easier to track messages, review patterns, and organize communication. The project was a practical exercise in scripting, automation, data extraction, and building a workflow tool that saves time on repetitive email management.
