Project: 3D Roof Reconstruction with Computer Vision for Solar Energy OptimizationThe ultimate objective of this project is to automate and streamline the process of creating 3D roof models for photovoltaic installations using AI, significantly enhancing the deployment of solar energy systems. This initiative will utilize aerial imagery and point cloud data to develop a sophisticated AI model capable of precise 3D roof reconstruction.

Project: Developing an AI-Driven Sentiment Analysis Tool for Political Actors in El Salvador (Hosted by IREX)As an Omdena Collaborator, I played a pivotal role in the project, focusing on the following key areas:1 - ML Model Development:Utilizing my proficiency as a native Spanish speaker, I actively contributed to labeling the final dataset provided by the Data Collection & Analysis team. I conducted experiments with a GPT-3.5 based model to test and ensure the quality and accuracy of sentiment analysis.2 - Deployment Task Leader:Directed the deployment phase by integrating the UI team's work, which included dataset visualization, a comprehensive analytics dashboard, and features for dataset and report downloads. I implemented live data scraping and real-time sentiment analysis from both scraped and sample datasets, ensuring robustness through extensive testing. Optimized application performance by caching essential data and resources. The proof-of-concept solution employed the Transformers library with a fine-tuned BERT/BETO model, developed by the Model Building team and registered on Hugging Face.3 - Documentation and Final Report:Documented the proof-of-concept application's dependencies and the steps needed to redeploy the solution. Contributed to the final report by detailing the UI and deployment processes, outlining the limitations and challenges encountered, and summarizing the recommendations discussed during weekly meetings.This project not only deepened my expertise in machine learning model development and deployment but also refined my skills in leading critical tasks and collaborating effectively with cross-functional teams to deliver impactful solutions.

Project: Developing an AI-Driven Chatbot for Disaster Assistance and Emergency ReliefAs a participant in this Omdena project, in partnership with Datacamp, I played a vital role in developing an AI-driven chatbot aimed at providing disaster assistance and emergency relief. My contributions included various responsibilities and leadership roles throughout the project lifecycle:1 - Task Leadership and Technical Development:Acted as Task Leader for the Monitoring and Alerts task, where my team and I developed a robust Cron Job. This job monitored official disaster reporting APIs, collected and stored disaster-related data, and triggered alerts to users in affected areas. In parallel, we joined the UX design team and actively contributed to the UI building, ensuring seamless integration of monitoring functionalities for registered users.2 - DevOps and Deployment:Transitioned to a DevOps role, deploying a fully functional solution for the final demonstration. This included deploying the chatbot agent on AWS EC2 and integrating it with the UI for a cohesive user experience.3 - Technical Presentations, Stakeholder Engagement, and Deliverables:Presented in both mid-project check-in and the final demo to key stakeholders. I also took charge of preparing presentation slides, creating a project demo video, and contributing to the final report for all the tasks I participated in.4 - Content Creation and Collaboration:Collaborated as a co-writer on a blog article highlighting our project's objectives, methodologies, and outcomes; showcasing the impact and innovation achieved through our collective contributions, including our sponsor.This experience not only honed my technical skills in AI-driven solutions and DevOps but also strengthened my ability to lead teams, engage stakeholders, and deliver impactful solutions aligned with project objectives, culminating in the successful delivery of a fully integrated product.

Project: Solutions Architecture for Third-Party Applications – Web Services1 - Project Definition and Research: To address the need for stability, modernization, and effective hosting of third-party web applications, I proposed and initiated the development of a remote solution using a virtual machine hosted within the on-premises main server. This solution aims to provide a reliable and scalable infrastructure capable of supporting web services and complementing the requirements of third-party applications.2 - Implementation and Current Status: The virtual machine was implemented as a fully featured web server hosting essential services required for application functionality. These include monitoring tools such as Grafana, Loki, and Promtail for real-time log access and alerting; an SFTP server for secure file transfers; and database administration interfaces like Adminer and phpMyAdmin. The solution is built on a microservices architecture using Kubernetes, Docker, and Traefik, with Redis integrated for lightweight messaging. Additional features include automated cron jobs for backups and critical scripts. The first web application has been successfully deployed to production, with two additional applications currently in the testing phase.3 - Future Plans: The next steps for this project focus on implementing fully automated deployment pipelines to streamline the process further and enhancing event-driven scripts to improve communication between the web server and the host server. These improvements aim to ensure greater efficiency, scalability, and maintainability for hosting third-party applications in the future.

Project: API Documentation for Public Release1 - Project Definition and Research: Initiated and proposed the idea for the API documentation project to stakeholders, considering users' needs and security concerns. Acquired in-depth knowledge of the OpenAPI standard specifically for this project and developed the initial API documentation. Conducted thorough research and evaluation of documentation frameworks, comparing Swagger and ReDoc, and ultimately selected ReDoc for its enhanced features and seamless integration capabilities.2 - Implementation and Current State: Conducted comprehensive testing of the API's v1 to ensure usability and functionality. Curated and selected endpoints for the public release, prioritizing users' desired features. Evaluated the initial API implementation and proposed necessary changes, collaborating closely with the development team to implement these improvements. Configured and deployed v2 of the API documentation on a remote server, ensuring accessibility and stability for further testing and feedback. I continue to contribute with the needed documentation updates and evaluating modifications, working closely with the users and the development team .
