Face Mask Usage Detection Using Inception Network
Derived from the research paper Face Mask Usage Detection Using Inception Network. The full article Detecting Face Mask Usage Using Inception Network explains the installation and usage of the neural network. With the ongoing pandemic, one of the tools that we have that has proven to be effective in preventing the spread of the COVID-19 virus is through wearing a face mask. However, there are some people who are not wearing it properly. This Inception Network has a 98% accuracy rate in detecting face mask usage in faces. The neural network was trained using thousands of face images.
GPT2 Custom Model
A GPT-2 model that has been fine-tuned using the Cebuano version of the Bible is a language model that is based on the GPT-2 architecture and has undergone additional training specifically on Cebuano biblical texts. By training the GPT-2 model on the Cebuano Bible, the fine-tuned model gains knowledge and understanding of the language, context, and themes present in the Cebuano biblical texts. It can then generate coherent and contextually relevant text in Cebuano based on the input given to it.
Simple Image Classifier with Web App
A simple to use image classifier implemented using Convolutional Neural Network in Keras. This app is easy to use for general purpose image classification. Aside from the Python script, there is also a web app that utilizes the trained model. Just follow the steps provided in the Github Repository /jamesnogra/cnn_keras if you want to use it on your own. You can try a demo at http://129.146.130.43/cnn_keras/.
Baybáyin Handwriting Recognition Using Convolutional Neural Network
Based from the research paper Baybáyin Character Recognition Using Convolutional Neural Network. The Philippine Congress approved the House Bill 1022 which states that the Baybáyin will be used as the national writing system of the country. The Department of Education and National Commission for Culture and Arts has vowed to reintroduce this old writing system back to the country. To speed up the learning process, a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) was designed and created for the classification of hand-drawn characters. The model achieved a 94% accuracy rate using a validation data.
Taglish (Tagalog-English) Sentiment Analyzer
Detects a Taglish (Tagalog-English) phrase whether it is positive or a negative statement. Using Embeddings, the model can rate from 0 (negative) to 100 (positive) a statement. The model was trained using thousands of tagged statements.

Acted as the project manager of the project. There are four developers in the project in which all are mobile developers. The main responsibilities include interacting with the client and understanding their needs while closely watching the changes it entails in the project schedule. Also helped in the app deployment to the Android PlayStore and Facebook App Review. The project was built using Laravel and VueJS.

Leading a team of 4 developers, 2 QAs, and another 5 wordpress developers. Aside from managing the team and engaging regularly with the client, I also developed the application with the team. The project was built using Laravel and MySQL and is currently in version 2.
https://www.propertypond.com/
As a senior developer of this project, I was assigned to work with the backend of the website using PHP, MySQL, and CSS. In the middle of the development, the client suggested converting the entire system to NodeJS and MongoDB. After three months of working with the conversion of the system, the client decided to scrap the plan because the system doesn’t need to be that fast as if it was built by those two technologies. We also developed an API (using Laravel and MySQL) that integrates with the same property listing. The API is used by an iOS app called Property Pond which is available in the App Store. There are six members in our team, two of which are senior developers including myself, a junior developer, two mobile developers, and one QA.

I was only leading the development of this project. My tasks are to coordinate with the client and then lays out a plan for the assigned developers. There were two developers working on this project in which both are junior developers. I did not take part in the coding of this project.

For this particular project, as the project manager and senior web developer, my tasks include consulting with clients, planning with my teammates, drawing and estimating schedule, cost estimation, and testing. There are three developers working on this project including myself. When we started this project, we were still working on the PMG Intelligence Survey Tool. We did not have a hard time in developing this project because the client suggested using WordPress specifically. For the survey UI, we used PHP, jQuery, and CSS Bootstrap. Data analysis and representation was also done using google charts.

As the project manager and senior developer for this project, I was assigned to interact with the clients and suggest solutions for their survey business rules. I was also tasked to estimate the time needed to complete a module as the project is divided into a lot of modules. The highlight of this project is analyzing the data in which we used Google Charts to display survey data results. I was also closely working with an in-house mathematician who was assigned to do the statistical analysis of the survey data gathered. In this project, there were three developers including myself and one analyst. Aside as the project manager of this project, I was also the senior developer and I worked with two other junior developers.

My role in this project is modifying the control panel side of the hosting environment. This website did not use cPanel or any other related hosting framework. The control panel was made from scratch (using Codeigniter, HTML, and CSS) and I was assigned to add more features in the control panel like adding Zone Files from the web which was implemented using CLI PHP scripts. I was the only one working on this project.

As a junior web developer, I was assigned for the maintenance of the website. There were 9 people in the team. There was one team lead managing the whole team, two senior developers, four of us are junior developers, and two French-English translators. The main technologies we were using in this particular project are Codeigniter, MySQL, HTML, and CSS and I was working more on the PHP development side.
