AI Camera

The StealthCam project was born out of a desire to explore the possibilities offered by the Internet of Things (IoT) by creating a smart home security system for our connected object course at Cégep de Rosemont. The idea was to merge hardware (sensors and cameras) with modern software technologies such as facial recognition and artificial intelligence. This project allowed me to learn how to manage communication between sensors, a Python backend processing real-time data streams, and a fluid desktop user interface.

Contribution

On this project, I was responsible for developing the entire architecture, from the backend to the user interface. I set up the Flask server to orchestrate the various services, including managing an SQLite database for activity history. I integrated facial recognition with the face_recognition library and the OpenAI API to generate intelligent textual descriptions of the captured images. On the client side, I developed the desktop application with Electron, using GSAP to create a modern and dynamic interface. I also took care of the configuration of the ultrasonic and sound sensors.

Visual Overview

Approach

I adopted a modular approach to separate the hardware detection logic from the application layer. The backend functions as a service center where each sensor (motion, sound, light) is processed independently before being synthesized by the server. For the user experience, I chose Electron to provide a robust desktop application capable of communicating easily with the local file system and the Flask server. This structure allows for high system responsiveness, which is crucial for a real-time monitoring device.

Spritelab

I designed Spritelab to address a specific need in the workflow of game developers and pixel artists: efficient management and transformation of spritesheets. The goal was to create a lightweight and intuitive tool to automate repetitive slicing and organizing tasks, saving time when integrating visual assets into game engines.

Genies

I developed Genies at a pivotal moment when artificial intelligence was beginning to take off in a big way. At that time, powerful tools were scattered across multiple websites, which made the user experience tedious. My goal was to create a single platform capable of centralizing the best AI models to offer simplified access and a consistent interface, allowing users to switch from text generation to visual creation without changing ecosystems.

Vantabank

I completed this project as part of my first native applications course at Cégep de Rosemont. As my first major solo project, it marked an important milestone in my career, as it was the first time I had designed a complex graphical interface. This experience was a real revelation, and I particularly enjoyed the challenge of transforming abstract business logic into an interactive and aesthetically pleasing visual tool.
