Projects
Satirical Cartoons Generator
Developed a workflow leveraging Gemini 1.5 Pro for prompt generation and Flux 1.1 Pro for high-quality, colorful image rendering to generate humorous, satirical cartoons. The Glif platform allows users to input a topic, which is then transformed into a visually engaging and satirical cartoon with minimal user effort, combining AI-driven creativity with personalized satire.
Kailas Italy Store Locator Website
Developed a website for Kailas Italia featuring trail running and hiking products with an integrated Store Locator. This side project was a deep dive into front-end development, starting from zero knowledge. Leveraging Node.js and guidance from Claude 3.5 Sonnet, I rapidly learned and implemented core web development concepts. Completed in just 2 weeks during holidays, this project demonstrates my ability to quickly acquire new skills.
Biomedical Paper Summarizer
Developed a Generative AI powered tool for extracting key takeaways from biomedical papers with adjustable levels of detail. Created an end-to-end pipeline for processing full-text research articles into both detailed analyses and concise TL;DR formats, focusing on longevity and human health domains.
