SplitIt.js | Next.js, React, Supabase

Upload a receipt, claim your items, and SplitIt auto-divides tax, tip, and balances so every roommate knows what they owe instantly.

GitHub | Live Demo & Details

JobF1 Extension.crx | Chrome Extension, Manifest V3

Chrome extension that flags visa restrictions on LinkedIn listings and filters by time, keywords, and job type—so you only pursue roles you’re eligible for.

Case Study & Screens

Splitwise-YNAB Sync.py | Python, Splitwise API, YNAB API

Watches Splitwise for new expenses and mirrors them into YNAB with duplicate protection plus smart handling for splits, repayments, and owes.

Workflow & Setup Guide

musicdl-cli.js | Node.js, Spotify API, FFmpeg

CLI that downloads Spotify playlists using available sources, converts tracks with FFmpeg, and auto-tags metadata and lyrics for offline collections.

npm | GitHub

Low-Power Ear Wearable Prototype.py | CircuitPython, BLE, USB-C

Ear-worn wearable for temperature and environment sensing—my focus was on hardware integration and BLE/USB protocols.
