• Smart Recipe Recommender and Meal Planner: Led a team of three in developing a Python-based application, designed for personalized meal planning using ingredient-based recipe recommendations, dietary preferences, and nutritional goals. Developed algorithms for recipe selection, weekly meal planning, and shopping list generation based on CSV and JSON/YAML inputs. Built a simple GUI, and provided unit testing and a README file to outline setup, usage, and functionality. Created a short project write-up and delivered a presentation showcasing our implementation, algorithms, and design decisions.
• Infix-to-Postfix Calculator: Created a binary expression tree in C++ to convert postfix expressions to infix, utilizing recursive algorithms. Designed a nested Node structure and implemented tree interfaces (constructors, assignment operator, etc). Documented time complexity analysis of advanced functions in Big-O.

• Injurlytics: Cleaned, sorted, and standardized large data sets in Excel to ensure consistent reporting.
