Projects

This is my expense tracker project.

This was my first project after building this site.

It includes a form submission, click and submission handlers, animations and calculation logic.

This was the perfect project for introducing me to the more complex side of React JS involving interactivity and function.

Expense Tracker

Left: 500

Budget: 500

BFShop is an e-commerce store using AI to reduce the time spent managing orders, and a quality chatbot for customer service

  • Separate customer and merchant interfaces, both working off the same system
  • A shared backend and database managing all order data and state
  • AI chatbots for handling queries and assisting both sides
  • An AI Overwatch layer to monitor and control how AI is used across the system

AI is here and it is here to stay.

AI is an amazing tool. But the reality is that it has mostly become a novelty.

Where it has been put to more purposeful use, it has often been underwhelming.

Customer service chatbots with no useful knowledge, seemingly only there to connect you to a human...

Picture creation tools that produce six-fingered hands and don't listen to prompts.

But it doesn't have to be a novelty.

The goal of what I'm doing is to build systems that utilise the incredible capabilities of AI.

My BFShop project will feature chatbots for both interfaces that will be able to perform actions and provide useful information.

But this isn't enough; as we move into a more AI-dominated world, what we need is oversight.

That's why I'm building AI Overwatch, an interface that will show AI behaviour and capabilities.

As I continue, I'll explore more ways to implement AI effectively and responsibly.
