Projects

Project1

GemSolver

Created a tool to extract text from screenshots and generate answers using Tesseract.js and the Gemini API, which reduced search time by 75%. In one semester, I processed over 200 screenshots with this tool, automating my study workflow and helping me achieve a top 1% grade in that course.

Project2

Lisbon House Price Prediction

In this project I used a dataset from kaggle with 250+ entries. Built a machine learning model using scikit-learn linear regression model and trained it using the fit function achieving a prediction accuracy of 70.3 %

Project3

Website Porfolio

Built this site using Html, CSS, Javascript and Three.js for the 3D background, applied the best practices to enhance performance, usability, and user experience.
