    BAC AI — Syrian Baccalaureate Study Assistant

    Live study assistant where students chat with official Grade 12 textbooks, open the cited page, and revise with auto-generated quiz questions.

    Problem
    Students needed trustworthy answers grounded in official curricula—across Arabic, English, and French—not generic chatbot guesses.
    Approach
    End-to-end RAG: PDF/OCR extraction, lesson-boundary chunking, BGE-M3 embeddings, Qdrant search, intent routing, citation-pinned answers, FastAPI + bilingual React, Docker deploy.
    Outcome
    Production web product with auth, subscriptions, admin panel, streaming generation, and pytest API coverage.
    • Python
    • FastAPI
    • Qdrant
    • BGE-M3
    • Qwen
    • React
    • Docker

    Heart Disease Prediction

    Binary classification model predicting heart disease from clinical factors.

    Problem
    Needed a clear baseline for clinical tabular prediction and model comparison.
    Approach
    Trained and compared logistic regression and random forest with scikit-learn and pandas.
    Outcome
    Delivered a compared baseline with a documented winner for the classification task.
