Disclaimer:This web site is an experiment to present some personal projects I worked on. Unfortunately, I am not allowed to share details about my professional projects on this site as I do not have authorization to.

Also, please be patient with the Chatbot (bottom right). I am tuning it, and it runs on a single RTX 3060 ti, so it has a hard time to keep up.
