Featured Projects
A collection of my work, organized by complexity from most to least challenging. Each project demonstrates different aspects of software engineering, from real-time robotics to cloud infrastructure.
Real-Time Motion Retargeting for 14-DoF Humanoid
Maps 3D upper-body poses (MediaPipe, OpenCV) to a Unitree G1 via an analytical inverse-kinematics solver for shoulder/elbow/wrist. Added smoothing and velocity limits for stable jabs/blocks, plus live 3D debugging (Matplotlib, Pygame) and lightweight action classification (Scikit-learn).
Cloud-Native Enterprise Authentication Service
Spring Boot + PostgreSQL service for registration/login and role-based access with Spring Security/JWT. Designed as a modular microservice, containerized and deployable on Kubernetes for straightforward scaling and maintenance.
Hospital Management System & Employee Portal
Spring Boot services tuned with MySQL and Redis caching; React/Angular dashboards reduced manual workflows and improved stakeholder visibility. Emphasis on clean API design and reliable data flows.
Interactive Portfolio Analytics Dashboard
React SPA that streams real-time data (WebSocket), manages state with Redux, and renders readable charts (Chart.js). Bundle split and lazy loading to keep interactions snappy.
Augmented Entities for E-Learning (Web AR)
Browser-based AR that places glTF models into real scenes using React + Three.js/WebGL/WebXR. Includes annotation, simple interactions, and asset optimizations for smooth classroom use.
ROS2 TurtleBot3 Simulation
Dockerized ROS 2 workspace to reproduce navigation/control experiments without hardware, useful for quick iteration and demos.
AWS User Interface
React front end with a Python backend to list and trigger common EC2/S3/Lambda operations, simplifying day-to-day cloud tasks.
Employee-Certification-UI
Front-end for an internal certification portal with status tracking and responsive layouts for different roles.
RFID Encryption
Prototype of a secure RFID access workflow with encrypted tag data and periodic key rotation to protect credentials at rest and in transit.
Secure Hash Algorithms Suite
Java/Python utilities combining SHA-256 (integrity), RSA (key exchange/signatures), and AES (symmetric encryption) with examples and tests.
URL Slicer
Tiny utility that breaks URLs into scheme/host/path/query components for debugging and preprocessing.
