Projects

CeREbrus — Enterprise Retail Intelligence Platform

lablab.ai Hackathon — Solo Builder | Transforming Enterprise Through AI

Built solo during lablab.ai's "Transforming Enterprise Through AI" hackathon, CeREbrus is an enterprise retail intelligence platform powered by Google's Agent Development Kit (ADK) and Gemini. It orchestrates three specialized AI agents — Knowledge Guardian, Customer Intel, and Synthesis — coordinated by a dedicated Governance agent that enforces compliance and oversight across every decision.

I designed the full multi-agent architecture, built the Python backend, and deployed it live during the competition via a Cloudflare Tunnel — taking it from concept to a publicly reachable demo inside the hackathon window.

Valorant Performance Analyzer & Mental Coach AI

Personal Project — In Development

This project is personal. I've been a ranked Valorant player for years, and the coaching tools on the market obsess over aim and game sense while ignoring the part that actually wins matches — the mental game. So I'm building the tool I wanted to exist. The app combines match telemetry with AI-driven behavioral analysis to surface tilt patterns, emotional triggers, and personalized recommendations, so players can make data-informed adjustments between matches.

Built as a full-stack React application backed by a Python and Node.js service layer, the app integrates the Riot Games API for match data and the Claude API for context-aware coaching. A vector database powers Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) so insights stay grounded in the player's own history rather than generic advice.

  • Stack: React, Python, Node.js, Claude API, Riot Games API, Vector DB (RAG), AWS / Vercel
  • Designed as a portfolio piece targeting FAANG-level software engineering roles
  • Implements Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) for context-aware, personalized AI responses
  • Focuses on an underserved niche: the mental and emotional side of competitive performance

DineroClaro — Bilingual Financial Literacy Mobile App

Hackathon Project — VibraATL (hosted by Georgia State University)

Built at the VibraATL hackathon at Georgia State University, DineroClaro is a cross-platform mobile app designed to empower the underserved Hispanic community in Atlanta by increasing financial literacy. The app helps users track spending, understand cash flow, and learn core financial concepts in an accessible, culturally relevant way — bridging a gap left by traditional banking tools.

Built with Expo and TypeScript on the front end and a Python service layer, the app includes an integrated AI module that delivers personalized financial insights and plain-language guidance.

  • Stack: TypeScript, Expo (React Native), Python, REST APIs, file-based routing
  • Mission-driven: designed for an underserved community with language, cultural, and financial-access barriers
  • Architected with separate app/, backend/, database/, services/, and ai/ layers for clean separation of concerns
  • Repository: github.com/ullahasmat/DineroClaro

Personal Portfolio Website — Multi-Page Static Site

Academic Project — Western Governors University (B.S. Computer Science)

Designed and developed this portfolio site from scratch as the capstone for WGU's Web Development coursework. The brief required a frameworkless build — pure HTML, CSS, and JavaScript only — to demonstrate fluency with semantic markup, hand-written CSS architecture, and native DOM scripting rather than relying on modern tooling.

The site is structured around three interconnected pages (Résumé, Cover Letter, Career Goals) sharing a single external stylesheet, and includes dynamic content (a JavaScript-populated "last updated" date), a form with validation, and embedded local media — all without a build step.

  • Stack: HTML5, CSS3, vanilla JavaScript, Google Fonts — no frameworks, no build tools
  • Three interconnected pages sharing a single master.css stylesheet
  • Demonstrates semantic markup, advanced CSS selectors, responsive layout, and native DOM manipulation
