Title: Industrial IoT Environmental Monitor, OLED HUD & Actuator Node
Description:
An autonomous edge-computing IIoT monitoring and safety node built using an ESP32 microcontroller. The system tracks real-time environmental metrics and executes local automation logic with zero cloud latency.
Key features:
1. Multi-Sensor Telemetry: Integrates a BME280 sensor for ambient temperature, humidity, and barometric pressure alongside an MQ-135 sensor for real-time air quality and gas detection.
2. Local OLED HUD Dashboard: Features an SSD1306 OLED display to provide operators with crystal-clear, on-site visual diagnostics and live system status updates.
3. Autonomous Edge Actuation: Automatically triggers an opto-isolated relay (M281) and piezo buzzer to drive ventilation fans and warning alarms when safety thresholds are breached.
4. Optimized Firmware: Powered by clean C/Arduino code utilizing hardware I2C communication, analog data mapping, and robust Active-LOW relay control logic.

Title: Happy Hour – AI-Powered Restaurant Operations Platform
Short description (one-liner):
An all-in-one Laravel + React platform that helps restaurant managers control costs, inventory, staff, and sales, with AI that reads supplier invoices and surfaces savings.
Project description:
Restaurant managers often juggle spreadsheets, paper invoices, and separate tools for stock, staff, and sales, which makes it hard to know what each dish really costs. Happy Hour brings all of it into a single web application built for hospitality businesses.
The standout feature is AI-powered invoice capture. Managers upload a PDF or photo of a supplier invoice, and the system extracts the supplier, line items, pack sizes, GST, and totals, matches the supplier by ABN, and updates ingredient prices automatically. Every extraction is validated and flagged for review when something doesn't add up, so the AI never silently invents numbers.
Those ingredient prices flow directly into recipe costing. Each recipe shows its live cost, margin, and how many portions can be produced from current stock, including which ingredient is the limiting factor. Managers can also generate recipe drafts with AI and review them before anything is saved.
Inventory runs on a perpetual stock ledger covering waste, comps, corrections, and blind physical stocktakes with variance review. Daily sales from Z reports are reconciled against recipes to deplete stock and reveal shrinkage and yield drift.
Beyond back-of-house, the platform includes a POS terminal, cash drawer management, a Kitchen Display System, staff rosters, a public time clock, expense tracking with P&L reporting, and an AI insights engine that ranks cost-saving opportunities across suppliers, recipes, and sales. The AI layer supports multiple providers, including OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, and Google Gemini, configurable from the settings page.
Key features:
AI invoice extraction and supplier matching · Live recipe costing and margins · Perpetual inventory and stocktakes · Sales reconciliation from Z reports · POS, cash drawer, and Kitchen Display System · Staff rosters and time clock · Expenses and P&L · AI-generated cost-saving insights
Tech stack (full):
Laravel 12, PHP 8.3, React 19, React Router, Vite, Recharts, Framer Motion, Laravel Sanctum, PostgreSQL, OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, REST APIs, PHPUnit

Project Title: AURA Executive Wellness — AI-Powered Ultra-Luxury Booking & Management Platform
What I Built:
I built an end-to-end, high-converting booking platform designed for elite medical spas and longevity clinics ("AURA Executive Wellness"). It features a seamless client-facing reservation system paired with a real-time owner admin dashboard.
Key Features & Engineering Highlights:
Frictionless Booking Wizard: Dynamic multi-step flow allowing users to pick treatments, select specialists, customize timeslots, add-on therapies, and simulate instant payment.
Dual-Perspective Architecture: Includes an instant "Owner Dashboard" view to manage daily appointments, monitor live revenue analytics, and toggle room/specialist availability.
High-End UI/UX Design: Sleek dark-mode aesthetic with micro-interactions, responsive typography, and luxury branding tailored for high-ticket service clients.
Instant Confirmation & Calendar Integration: Generates automated appointment passes with direct sync to Google/Apple Calendar.
Why I Built It:
Traditional booking systems for premium clinics are clunky and full of friction. AURA was built to show how AI and modern Web UX can automate zero-downtime scheduling for high-net-worth clients while giving clinic owners complete operational control.
