My Projects
RL Car Navigation from scratch
Made with: C++
This project implements a Reinforcement Learning (RL) agent that learns to control and navigate a car. Notably, all core Artificial Intelligence components, including the Deep Q-Network, neural network layers, and the Adam optimizer, are implemented entirely from scratch in C++, without reliance on external machine learning libraries.
Facial Expression Recognition
Made with: PyTorch, Matplotlib
Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) using PyTorch to recognize emotion categories from facial images. Trained on FER2013 DataSet.
Heart Disease Detection
Made with: scikit-learn, XGBoost, Pandas, Matplotlib
Predict the presence of heart disease in patients building several models (Logistic Regression, Random Forest, XGBoost).
GPT Model
Made with: PyTorch
PyTorch-based implementation of a GPT model, trained on the FineWeb 10B dataset.
Trading Bot
Made with: Pandas, Numpy.
Trading bot that implements a trend following strategy using CCXT library. Users can adjust position size, target profits and stop-loss settings to suit their trading style and risk tolerance.
