πŸ¦‰ Nighthawk

GPU-accelerated acoustic inference for an open-source nocturnal bird migration detector. Refactored the pipeline for speed and numerical stability, with automated CPU/GPU eval for reproducible Linux deploys.

Ask questions about a codebase and get answers with file citations. Repo-aware RAG on a LangGraph retrieve β†’ generate workflow over a local FAISS index, with a CLI and a Streamlit UI.

🐦 FeatherLog

Built for my budgie. A REST API that turns daily weigh-ins into early health alerts (median baselines, rapid-change detection) and keeps care schedules on track. JWT auth, Flyway, CI.

πŸ“Š H1BView

A Streamlit + Plotly dashboard over 2025 H-1B LCA filings that helps international job seekers find sponsor-friendly roles, top-paying employers and approval trends.
