Home Projects & Lab Work
A large portion of my personal projects revolve around automation, local AI tooling, workflow optimization, and practical experimentation. Most of this work has been performed inside my personal home lab environment outside of professional responsibilities.
AI Job Application Dashboard
One personal project involved developing a Python application that scanned both Gmail and Outlook accounts nightly to identify job application emails, interview requests, pending applications, and rejection messages.
The application extracted information such as company names, dates, statuses, and job titles from emails and stored them inside a local database for reporting and dashboard visualization.
The system was designed to only process newly received information each night rather than re-scanning entire mailboxes repeatedly.
Home Lab AI Infrastructure
Most of my AI experimentation has happened either in my home lab or more recently at NHBB through internal AI initiatives.
Inside my home lab I have experimented heavily with local models, image generation systems, coding assistants, automation agents, and self-hosted AI tooling using Ollama and OpenWebUI.
I generally prefer direct programmatic interaction with models through Python and Transformers-based workflows because it provides more flexibility and automation opportunities.
Automation & Game Projects
I enjoy automating repetitive tasks whenever possible, including gaming-related workflows. I have created automation tools using Python and Lua for image recognition, automatic clicking, keyboard automation, and gameplay automation systems.
One current project involves automating Pokémon Red gameplay using Lua scripting and emulator integrations simply because I thought it would be interesting to see how far the automation could be pushed.
