Crea8Folio

Crea8folio was my final Capstone project in University and one of my most difficult projects so far. Crea8folio is a no-code portfolio builder designed to make creating professional portfolios accessible to everyone—especially business students who often lack tools tailored to their needs. The platform bridges the gap between functionality and ease of use, enabling users to showcase their projects, skills, and achievements in a sleek, interactive format without writing a single line of code. Built with React and powered by Electron for a cross-platform desktop experience, Crea8folio incorporates cutting-edge technologies like Grape.js to deliver an intuitive drag-and-drop interface. Users can customize pre-designed templates, add dynamic sections like project showcases or testimonials, and even export their portfolios as zip files for easy sharing and deployment. The app also features advanced options like full-screen previews, spectate mode, and a built-in editor to view and tweak the underlying HTML/CSS if desired. The inspiration for Crea8folio came from observing how many resources exist for tech and creative students, while business students often rely on static resumes or LinkedIn profiles. This project is about leveling the playing field and giving everyone, regardless of their technical background, the power to control their professional narrative in a visually compelling way.

Application

Rocket League Object Detection

The project involved creating an image dataset by capturing screenshots from a specific window using Python libraries like numpy, win32gui, and PIL, then labeling the dataset using Make Sense AI for manual annotations. After organizing and labeling the images, the dataset was used to train a YOLOv4-tiny object detection model on Google Colab, leveraging pre-trained weights and a custom configuration. Post-training, the model was tested in real-time on a live window of the "Rocket League" game, detecting objects like the ball and boost. While the model showed reasonable accuracy, particularly with static or slow-moving objects, it struggled with fast-moving scenes and varied lighting conditions. The project demonstrated the practical implementation of object detection, including dataset preparation, model training, and real-time application, highlighting challenges in dynamic environments and emphasizing the iterative nature of machine learning development.

Diabetes Prediction with Machine Learning

This program predicts whether a patient has diabetes using an SVM classifier based on medical attributes such as pregnancies, glucose levels, and BMI. It involves loading and analyzing a CSV dataset, standardizing the data, splitting it into training and test sets, and training the model. The model's accuracy is evaluated, and a predictive system is demonstrated by inputting patient data to predict diabetes status.

House Price Prediction using Machine Learning

This project is all about visualizing the comparison between actual and predicted prices using a scatter plot to evaluate the performance of my predictive model. I created a scatter plot that includes actual prices on the x-axis and predicted prices on the y-axis, with each point representing a data instance from the training set. By examining this scatter plot, I can assess the model's accuracy by observing how closely the points align with the ideal line 𝑦 = 𝑥. Deviations from this line highlight discrepancies in predictions, providing insights into areas where the model may need improvement. This visualization helps me identify systematic errors and guides further refinements in the model, ensuring continuous improvement in prediction accuracy. To make this process easier, I've included a detailed code example using Python and Matplotlib to create the scatter plot. This example demonstrates how to implement the visualization and understand the model's performance effectively. By using this scatter plot, I aim to provide a clear and intuitive understanding of how well the predictive model works and where it can be improved.

Machine Learning App

Predicting Calories Burned Using Machine Learning

This machine learning program employs the XGBoost algorithm to predict calorie expenditure during exercise using a dataset that includes physiological and exercise-related metrics such as age, gender, height, weight, exercise duration, heart rate, and body temperature. By leveraging these features, the model learns patterns that relate these variables to the calories burned, offering insights into how different factors influence energy expenditure during physical activities. This predictive capability can be instrumental in tailoring personalized fitness plans, optimizing workout routines, and supporting health professionals in advising on exercise intensity and duration for effective calorie management and fitness goals.
