I Am Human
Verified Human-Made Art Gallery
Problem:
In an era of AI-generated content, authentic human artwork is being overshadowed, making it difficult for artists to gain visibility and for collectors to verify authenticity.
Solution:
Built a curated platform where artists submit work with proof of human creation (timelapses, process files, layers). A human review team verifies submissions before publication.
Impact:
Created a sanctuary for authentic art with artist portfolios, verification badges, and a community that values real human creativity.
Atmospheres
Real-time Tweet Categorization and Mapping
Problem:
Understanding public sentiment around events and locations in real-time is challenging with the massive volume of social media data.
Solution:
Built a web application that categorizes live tweets using sentiment analysis and displays them on an interactive map, allowing users to visualize public opinion geographically.
Impact:
Enables real-time sentiment analysis for events, locations, and trending topics with geographic visualization.
Firefox OS Privacy
Permission Access Logging
Problem:
Mobile OS users lack visibility into how apps access sensitive permissions, making it difficult to identify privacy violations.
Solution:
Added fine-grain permission access logging to Firefox OS, allowing users to track exactly when and how apps access device features like camera, location, and contacts.
Impact:
Improved user privacy awareness and control over app permissions in the Firefox OS ecosystem.
