01 / Projects

From idea to application.

Paid work, a graduation project and two training APIs.

Graduation project01

PlantCare

Plant care meets image classification.

Primary ASP.NET Core backend in a four-person team, with model training, Python service integration and React support.

The project

A graduation application bringing plant-care information and image classification together.

My contribution

Developed the primary backend, trained the classification model and integrated it through a Python service. Supported the React interface and helped deploy the application.

The project

A prototype needing account, access and messaging workflows.

My contribution

Implemented Express/MongoDB APIs, Joi validation and Cloudinary uploads, including account activation, password recovery and role-based authorization.

Demo access

No public demo is currently available.

Paid project03

Smart Shelf

Book workflows, connected by APIs.

Backend APIs for managing books and borrowing, with JWT authorization and an existing AI component integration.

The project

Book-management and borrowing workflows backed by application APIs.

My contribution

Developed ASP.NET Core APIs using MongoDB and JWT, and integrated an existing AI component. The contribution was integration, rather than creation of the AI component.

Demo access

No public demo or source-code link is currently available.

Paid project04

Robotic Arm Controller

Controls for an arm with a robotic hand.

Flutter/Dart controls for a five-servo ESP32 system, using Wi-Fi communication and Bluetooth EMG input.

The project

A control interface for an ESP32 arm with a robotic hand and five servos.

My contribution

Developed the Flutter/Dart controls, with Wi-Fi communication and Bluetooth EMG input.

Explore

The public browser preview opens in demo mode. It may take a few seconds to initialize; a browser preview does not demonstrate a connected physical device.

Training projects

Two stacks. Separate implementations.

E-commerce API projects built while developing backend skills.

Individual training project05

.NET E-commerce API

Product and cart workflows in .NET 8.

APIs using Entity Framework Core and PostgreSQL, with Identity/JWT authentication and password recovery.
