End-to-end hands-on AI projects. Samples below.

Every project lands in your GitHub with working code, a deployment and a story you can walk an interviewer through.

MCP Travel Assistant
MCP Travel Assistant

A conversational booking agent that routes flight and hotel queries through an MCP client to live airline servers. Real Qantas and Virgin pricing comes back as bookable actions, not just text.

Model Context Protocol Function calling Agent design Azure AI Foundry
Custom Virtual Assistant Brain
Custom Virtual Assistant Brain

Build the language-understanding brain behind an Alexa-style assistant: a spoken question is parsed into an intent and entities, then routed to application logic that returns the right answer back to the speaker.

Conversational language understanding Intent & entity extraction Azure AI Language App logic integration
Clinical Triage Agent
Clinical Triage Agent

A telehealth message is de-identified by a PII specialist tool, coded into ICD-10 and RxNorm entities by a medical-coding MCP server, then turned into an urgent triage alert by the agent manager.

Azure AI Language MCP server PII redaction Healthcare entity extraction Agent orchestration
Voicemail Customer Service Agent
Voicemail Customer Service Agent

A customer voicemail in blob storage is transcribed by a Speech MCP server, the order and warehouse are extracted, a logistics API is queried, and the answer is synthesised back as an audio reply the caller can play.

Azure Speech MCP server Speech-to-text Tool calling & APIs Blob storage & SAS URLs
Neural Voice Banking Bot
Neural Voice Banking Bot

A banking service bot that answers "what's my balance?" out loud. Neural text-to-speech generates a natural, context-aware voice response as a playable audio file instead of stitched-together recordings.

Neural text-to-speech Speech synthesis SSML & voice tuning Audio file delivery
Retail Supply-Chain RAG Assistant
Retail Supply-Chain RAG Assistant

A store-floor assistant that answers stock-out questions from internal SAP, inventory and delivery data instead of guessing. Generic LLM theory becomes a cited, company-specific answer.

RAG Vector search Document chunking Azure AI Search
Content Safety Gateway
Content Safety Gateway

A moderation layer that scores every input and output across hate, self-harm, sexual and violence categories with a custom blocklist on top. Flagged content is routed to human review as structured JSON.

Azure AI Content Safety Responsible AI PII filtering Governance
Cherry Bloom Detector
Cherry Bloom Detector

A custom vision classifier that grades canopy bloom stages from park camera frames and returns confidence scores per region. The output drives a tourism forecast for the peak-bloom window.

Azure AI Vision Custom classification Object detection Confidence scoring
Personal Pocket Translator
Personal Pocket Translator

A Python speech app that records an English phrase, translates it and speaks it back in the target language. Built entirely in Cloud Shell — no local setup required.

Speech-to-text Text-to-speech SSML Live translation
Retail Voice Live Agent
Retail Voice Live Agent

A real-time voice agent handling customer calls end to end, with echo cancellation, interruption handling and autonomous tool calling into order and shipment systems.

Voice Live API Real-time agents Tool calling State handling
Enterprise Knowledge Mining
Enterprise Knowledge Mining

An indexing pipeline that cracks documents, normalises images and applies OCR, language detection and entity recognition before serving them to an agent. Unstructured files become a queryable knowledge base.

Azure AI Search Document Intelligence OCR & enrichment Indexing pipelines
Customer Feedback Pipeline
Customer Feedback Pipeline

A multi-agent system where collection, sentiment, categorisation and insight agents work under an orchestrator. Raw feedback from web, app and social channels comes out as a structured report.

Multi-agent orchestration Semantic Kernel AutoGen Knowledge graphs
