Work in Projects
Currently building AI enrichment tools and gamified tech demos
Exploring the intersection of technology and creativity through personal, in-progress projects. Each venture offers a chance to experiment with emerging tech, learn new skills, and craft meaningful digital experiences. Although they're actively evolving, I'm thrilled to share them as living examples of my passion for innovation. (Disclaimer: These projects remain under active development, so expect frequent updates and improvements!)

A wildlife photo and species database platform powered by AI. John collaborated with multiple models (Gemini + GPT-4) to build a robust system that auto-tags species, generates conservation metadata, and assists in geographic hotspot tracking. The CMS, enrichment tools, and photo upload flow showcase deep integration of AI with web UX. The beta version includes over 500 images, 360 species, and region-based insights.
