Next.jsReact.jsNode.js / PythonFastAPIOllamaStreamingLLM
- Built an end-to-end AI conversational application using Next.js/React.js and locally hosted Ollama LLMs.
- Developed backend APIs with FastAPI/Node.js for LLM interaction and conversation management.
- Implemented streaming AI responses for a real-time experience, with conversation memory to maintain context across interactions.
- Designed an LLM provider abstraction layer supporting multiple providers, with configurable system-prompt management to control model behavior.
RAG-Based Document Intelligence Application
Next.jsReact.jsPythonFastAPIChromaDBEmbeddingsOllamaRAG
- Built an end-to-end Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) application for intelligent question answering over PDF documents.
- Implemented PDF extraction, text chunking, embedding generation, and vector storage in ChromaDB with semantic retrieval of the most relevant chunks per query.
- Applied grounded prompting to constrain responses to retrieved context and reduce hallucinations; integrated Ollama for local inference with streaming through FastAPI.
- Added source citations with document name, page number, and relevant content snippets.
- Designed modular backend services separating document processing, embeddings, retrieval, prompt construction, and generation.
AI Personalized News Intelligence Platform
Next.jsReact.jsPythonFastAPIEmbeddingsVector SearchOllamaLLM
- Built a GenAI platform that aggregates news and delivers personalized, topic-aware feeds using embeddings and semantic vector search.
- Generated concise, LLM-powered summaries of long-form articles for faster reading, with streaming responses served through FastAPI.
