I’ve been working on something close to my heart — an AI-powered chatbot app designed to support elderly users with meaningful, easy conversations.
The idea is simple, but powerful:
People can interact with AI companions that feel familiar, comforting, and personalized. Even more interesting — users can create and talk to their own custom characters, making the experience feel more human and less “tech”.
But building this wasn’t straightforward.
Some real challenges I faced:
• Designing conversations that feel natural for elderly users (not robotic or overwhelming)
• Simplifying UI/UX so it’s actually usable for non-tech-savvy users
• Handling memory + context so chats feel continuous and personal
• Balancing personalization with safety and ethical boundaries
• Optimizing performance while keeping responses fast and meaningful
This project pushed me beyond just development — it made me think deeply about empathy, accessibility, and human connection through technology.
Still improving it every day, but excited about the impact it can create.
If you’re working in AI, healthcare, or user experience — would love to connect and exchange ideas.

The Secret Behind the Smile 🤫
Florence, 1503. Lisa had finally taken a selfie she liked.
The lighting was perfect. Her hair behaved. And her smile said, “I know something you don’t,” rather than, “I’ve been sitting in this chair for six hours.”
She checked the photo.
“Too good for the camera roll,” she decided. “Not quite fancy enough for the wall.”
So she walked over to her wooden desk, woke up her suspiciously modern computer, and uploaded the selfie to an AI image editor.
Her prompt:
“Turn my selfie into a Renaissance oil portrait. Show my hands folded in my lap, keep my mysterious smile, and add a dreamy Tuscan landscape.”
She clicked "Generate".
The computer thought for a moment—a little longer than usual, because the Wi-Fi in 1503 was terrible.
Then the portrait appeared.
Elegant hands. Dreamy mountains. A smile that could keep historians busy for centuries.
Lisa leaned closer.
“Finally. An image generator that understands fingers.”
She had it printed on canvas, framed it, and hung it on the wall. Then she switched off the computer and put her phone away.
Just in time.
Leonardo knocked at the door.
“Ready to discuss your portrait?”
Lisa glanced at the painting.
“Actually, I’ve prepared a little reference.”
He studied it for a long moment.
“Remarkable. How did you achieve that expression?”
Lisa simply smiled.
And that’s why the Mona Lisa looks like she’s keeping a secret.
"She’s wondering whether anyone will ask for the prompt."

Email Triage Automation
The Challenge
Growing companies often struggle with overflowing shared inboxes (sales@, support@, info@). Manual sorting, categorizing, and assigning emails to different departments causes response delays. Even worse, high-priority issues—such as urgent billing complaints or system failures—frequently get buried in the noise, leading to missed deadlines and unhappy clients.
The Solution & Architecture
I engineered an enterprise-grade inbox management and automation architecture using n8n, Gmail API, and OpenAI.
The system workflow functions as follows:
Ingestion & AI Classification: The workflow triggers instantly upon receiving a new message (Gmail Trigger), sanitizes the payload, and passes the text to an OpenAI Chat Model for sentiment analysis and intent classification.
Smart Categorization & Labeling: Based on the AI's output, a routing node assigns the email to the correct department (Finance, Sales, Technical Support, Partnerships) and automatically applies matching Gmail labels in real time.
Priority Escalation Routing: If the system flags an email as high-priority, it immediately triggers a secondary logic line. This packages the case details and shoots an urgent alert card directly into a dedicated Discord channel, complete with a summary and recommended actions.
AI-Assisted Contextual Response: Simultaneously, the system evaluates if an instant acknowledgement is needed, generates a contextual, brand-aligned draft reply using LLMs, and sends it directly within the original Gmail thread to reassure the client.
Business Results
Zero Sorting Overhead: Fully eliminated the manual labor required to filter, read, and forward inbound corporate emails.
Accelerated Escalation: Critical, high-priority issues (like duplicate billing charges) are delivered to managers' chat screens within seconds.
Improved Client Retention: Automated contextual auto-replies ensure clients receive an immediate confirmation that their issue is prioritized and routed to the correct desk.
I'd test calm messages about a service outage alongside angry messages about a routine request, so sentiment doesn't become a proxy for urgency. When the model is unsure of the department or priority, does the email go to a human review queue rather than being silently assigned?
