From consumer-facing mobile apps to enterprise-grade infrastructure, each project reflects innovation, performance, and reliability.

📱 Mobile Applications

AI Time Machine – Face Age

Designed backend AI and API for facial age detection and transformation, allowing users to age or de-age their faces through GAN-based models.

1Click2Cut – Background Changer

Built AI and backend API for image background removal and smart object separation.
Users can replace or blur backgrounds intelligently.

Chromaxy – AI Photo Storage

Deployed an on-prem Immich server and customized it to support user sign-ups, OTP authentication, and content management.

SplitBeat – Song Vocal Remover

Developed AI models and backend APIs for music source separation — isolating vocals, drums, and instruments from any song.

CineLens – Movie Finder

Developed an API that analyzes a video or image, detects faces, and uses Google Image Search to find matching movies or shows.
Integrated smart keyword extraction and social media video downloading.

KittyTalk – Meow Cat Translator

Designed backend AI inspired by MIT’s research on feline vocalizations.
Allows users to record cat sounds and predicts the cat’s mood or intention.

Microscan – OCR & Camscanner

Developed AI-based document scanning and OCR APIs.
Automatically detects document edges, enhances readability, and extracts text accurately.
