PhotoOp

PhotoOp is a C++ JPEG image decoder that can extract information such as dates, image dimensions, GPS information, and more. It is able to process through a large amount of images within a short period of time due to its multithreaded approach. I used it to index my family’s photo album and built a web app that would allow my family and I to query for our images without having to go through the entire photo directory every time.

  • Built a multi-threaded indexer in C++ to quickly index 30,000+ family photos.
  • Used a Postgres database to store the indexed information.
  • Built an API with NodeJS and a website with React to allow my family to query photos by date and or location keywords.

ZeroHero

ZeroHero is a cross-platform mobile app that will suggest healthy and delicious recipes based on pictures of your leftover ingredients.

  • Built an image recognition model using Google AutoML with 2,000+ images.
  • Developed a cross-platform app using React Native.
  • Devpost Link
