    • Integrated Stripe’s product and pricing endpoints for programmatic control.
    • Implemented backend logic to handle batch operations safely and efficiently.
    • Validated API behavior and error handling during bulk requests.
    • Ensured secure handling of API keys and environment separation.
    • Structured product data to maintain consistency between local records and Stripe.

    Tech Stack

    • Payments API: Stripe
    • Backend: Server-side logic (API integration)
    • Data Handling: Structured product and pricing data
    • Security: Environment-based API key management
    API Integration & Payment Processing

    Overview
    End-to-end implementation of an API-driven system built from approved documentation and credentials. Responsible for architecture design, endpoint validation, backend implementation, frontend interaction, and secure payment processing.

    Facial Recognition System — Research & Implementation, Academic project — BSc Final Year

    Overview

    This was my BSc final year project, where I independently designed and built a facial recognition system from research through implementation. While academic in nature, the project was treated as a full system build rather than a purely theoretical study.

    What I did

    • Selected the problem space and reviewed existing facial recognition approaches and prior research
    • Defined a clear methodology and system architecture
    • Implemented a working facial recognition pipeline
    • Handled data preparation, model training, testing, and evaluation
    • Documented limitations, performance trade-offs, and improvement paths

    Tools & techniques

    • Python
    • Machine learning workflows
    • Data cleaning and preprocessing
    • Algorithmic reasoning and evaluation metrics

    Why it matters

    This project reflects how I approach problems generally: identify inefficiencies, study existing solutions, and build practical systems under real constraints. It also laid the foundation for my later work in automation, data processing, and applied machine learning outside of academic settings.
