Featured Projects
Some of my recent work and contributions
Desktop billing and accounting application for self-employed workers in Quebec, with a focus on international students on study permits. Manage clients, generate Quebec-compliant invoices, track payments and expenses, and prepare annual tax declarations — all stored locally.
Annotation and segmentation tool built as part of my UQAC research on thin-section (petrographic) image analysis, streamlining the labeling of microscopy images for AI model training.
A virtual clothing try-on system built on a custom Conditional GAN, using a ResNet-style U-Net generator inspired by pix2pix, to realistically fit garments onto a target person image.
A ready-to-use, plug-and-play notification microservice that any application can integrate as an external API to send email and SMS notifications — no need to build notification infrastructure from scratch.
A plug-and-play billing microservice that handles payments, transaction history, compliance, and receipt generation for any application — integrate it as an external API instead of building your own billing and receipt system.
