Projects

Notify – SMS News

notify is a SMS chat bot that utilizes state-of-the-art APIs and NLP technologies to dispatch summarized news articles for the user based on their query. It is extremely easy to use and helps millions of people without reliable internet access to stay connected with the world around them.

OnTrack - Time Tracker

OnTrack is a time tracking and hours logging app made with Flutter. This versatile app allows users to easily log hours and keep track of their progress. It also uses Firebase so it can store a daily record of the users activity which can be accessed on any device by just logging in to their own account.

Touchless Webpage Scroller

A browser extension that allows users to scroll webpages without touching their devices. This uses a TensorFlow hand-tracking library which tracks the hands of the user so they can scroll up or down by simply raising their hands.
