PROJECTS.

Perfume Recommendation Model

I curated a dataset of over 46 popular women's perfumes for this model. The user can input any popular perfume, and the model will display other similar perfumes based on fragrance notes/family.

Skincare Label Scanner

Users can scan skincare product labels to instantly find detailed ingredient insights. Our AI-powered tool uses advanced OCR and NLP to identify potentially harmful and beneficial ingredients, helping users make safer, more informed skincare choices.

Student Grade Tracker

A MERN stack application (MongoDB, Express.js, React, and Node.js). Users can input their grades, marking scheme weights, and see their current average in real time.

AuraGlass - A Smart Mirror

My team and I collaborated to make a smart mirror! Some features include: real-time Spotify player, daily updated news/weather/date/time, an alarm clock, and Google Assistant!
