FEATURED PROJECTS

Obsidex

Obsidex

AI Handwriting Synthesis Platform

The Challenge

Traditional digital fonts lack the psychological warmth and authenticity of real handwriting, making automated mass communication feel impersonal and easily ignored.

Engineering

Engineered FLOW-v4, a deterministic rendering engine that synthesizes text into realistic handwriting by simulating ink flow, pressure variance, and natural character ligatures.

PythonOpenCVPyTorchNext.jsPostgreSQL
Key Outcome10k+ pages/hour deterministic synthesis
Enterprise Automation Framework

Enterprise Automation Framework

Banking & Financial Services CI/CD

The Challenge

Banking workflows were siloed, manual, and lacked version control, leading to high error rates in financial reporting and slow audit response times.

Engineering

Architected a centralized KNIME-Python infrastructure integrated with Bitbucket/Jenkins, replacing standard DataFrames with compressed Parquet DataFrames to optimise data automation pipelines and automate pivot table generation across 100+ concurrent workflows with full audit trails.

KNIME ServerPythonParquetBitbucketJenkinsSQL Server
Key OutcomeZero-touch automation & 50% faster audit prep
FileX Data Privacy Pipeline

FileX Data Privacy Pipeline

AI-Powered Client-Side Metadata Erasure

The Challenge

Sensitive metadata hidden inside digital files — GPS coordinates, author identities, and device fingerprints — poses serious privacy risks for professionals who share documents, images, and videos without a reliable way to sanitize them.

Engineering

FileX is an AI-powered, client-side metadata erasure tool that strips sensitive data entirely within the browser — no uploads, no server storage. Supporting JPG, PNG, PDF, MP4, and MOV formats, it detects concealed metadata markers with configurable privacy aggression levels and exports files encrypted via AES-256.
