OrderManager is a full stack order management system I developed as a personal project to explore building production-ready applications with event-driven architecture.

The backend is built with Spring Boot and Spring Data JPA, using PostgreSQL for persistence and RabbitMQ for async event publishing when orders are created. The frontend uses React with TypeScript, Vite, and Tailwind CSS. Key features include product catalog management with stock tracking, a shopping cart with customer selection, order creation with automatic inventory deduction, and a status workflow system enforcing valid state transitions. The dashboard provides real-time statistics on orders, revenue, and low-stock products. The entire infrastructure is containerized with Docker Compose.

Pixie is a personal AI agent I built to control my Windows computer using natural language. I wanted to explore how AI can bridge the gap between conversational commands and real computer automation—essentially creating a smart assistant that can actually do things, not just respond.

The agent interprets natural language requests through Google's Gemini AI and translates them into concrete actions: opening applications, typing text, pressing hotkeys, clicking on screen, and more. It discovers installed apps through the Windows Registry, manages window focus, and verifies that actions completed successfully. The system maintains conversation history for context-aware multi-turn interactions.

For my 6-month final year project, I set myself the challenge of diving deep into systems programming and reverse engineering using Baldur's Gate 3. I wanted to see if it is possible to implement a bot that could automate combat in a complex RPG environment.

I built a C++ framework that reads the game's memory in real time, reconstructs characters and enemies, and simulates inputs to automate combat. This involved extensive memory analysis to map out data structures and offsets, enabling features like live game state monitoring and automated decision-making.

ManageFlow is an employee and task management application I am currently developing as a personal project, where managers can delegate tasks and employees track their assignments.

Built with .NET for the backend and Blazor for the frontend, the application uses ASP.NET Core Identity for authentication, Entity Core for data management, and PostgreSQL for the database. Key features include role-based access control, automatic employee-account linking via email, and full CRUD operations for employees and tasks.

Goalbond is a personal project I designed and developed to simplify the way I track my goals and entertainment (like TV series). Existing tools felt too simple and I wanted the option to share my goals with friends as well.

The platform is intuitive and user-friendly, allowing users to create, manage, and share their goals effortlessly. The goals are organised into categories for better management, and users can create private and public communities for their loved ones to join.

PastLook is a university project I worked on with 5 other classmates. It's a web application that allows users to explore historical events on an interactive map, providing a visual and engaging way to learn about history.

I served as the team lead, orchestrating the development process through agile methodologies, while also contributing significantly to the frontend and backend development.
