Selected Work
LLM system
app‑dev‑v2 — a MERN full‑stack LLM platform that lets tutors submit class registers to their coordinators and uses the Gemini API to read, parse, and summarize uploaded documents. It provides secure authentication, Cloudinary‑backed media handling, automated extraction of key data (names, attendance, notes), a searchable archive, and an AI‑driven assistant for quick Q&A about submitted materials. The app streamlines administrative workflows, speeds up document review, and improves accuracy and accessibility for coordinators and tutors.
