Projects

AI-Powered Korean Vocabulary Extraction & Automation

github.com/Bart0wski/android-korean-vocab-extractor-distrib

Automating the transition from raw Korean text or vocabulary to structured, high-fidelity study materials.

  • Built a native Android app (Flutter + Riverpod) powered by the Gemini API for multi-modal Korean vocabulary extraction from plain text, PDFs, and images with a single tap.
  • Implemented a full vocabulary management system backed by SQLite: search, POS/tag filtering, CSV import/export, duplicate detection, and bulk selection.
  • Prototyped an earlier browser-based version using a local server built with Python FastAPI, serving the same Gemini extraction logic via REST endpoints before the Android rewrite.
  • Leveraged Claude Code as a development agent throughout — from architecture decisions to debugging and release automation.

    Tools: Gemini API Claude Code Python Android Anki

Multi Network Measurement & Telemetry Suite

Final Year Project at IMT Atlantique: Supporting Intelligent Network Selection.

  • Engineered a telemetry agent on Raspberry Pi to collect real-time Wireless Network KPIs (Latency, RSRP, Throughput, GPS).
  • Built a Flask-based REST API for centralized storage of vehicle-to-everything (V2X) data.
  • Enabled a PhD research project to implement an ML-driven handover strategy (Wifi vs. LTE vs. Ethernet) based on this dataset and application needs.

    Tools: Python Flask Raspberry Pi REST API LTE Metrics

MTSGO - Geolocation-Based Backend Engine

aneutron.github.io/mtsgo-server/

Location-based Mobile Application Project at IMT Atlantique.

  • Developed a Django REST API to handle real-time GPS coordinate processing for location-triggered content.
  • Engineered a dedicated Admin API to allow content curation and live monitoring by external dashboard teams.
  • Optimized backend architecture for efficient geospatial data handling in a gamified environment.

    Tools: Python Django REST API
