Current Projects
Avalanche OCR & symbols translations
Avalanche researchers face a critical bottleneck: digitizing field data. After travelling to remote scenes and recording observations in paper notebooks, they must manually transcribe complex data—including specialized hand-drawn grain symbols...
To help them with that boring and long task, I’ve created an app that reads avalanche notebooks and specialized symbols and converts them into JSON ready for an API integration.
It uses Claude 3.5 Sonnet Vision to visually reason about the form's structure, identify hand-drawn symbols via few-shot learning, and produce clean JSON outputs that handle the messiness of real-world handwriting.

Augmented Reality Gym Coach
[In progress] An AI coach that acts like a biomechanics lab in your pocket. It uses your phone's camera to track your movement in 3D—without ever sending video to the cloud. Instead of just counting reps, it spots when you're getting tired and tells you exactly how to fix your technique in real-time, just like a human trainer would.
Past Projects
News Podcast app
I had a problem: I couldn’t catch up with all the news and subjects that interest me while walking my dog…
So I built a PoC of a podcast generation app that can take any subject or news as input and generate human-like script and conversation. The PoC used LLM + TTS technology, CloudFlare and Cloud Run back-end + mobile app front-end. For legal reasons and copyright regulations, the app cannot be shared publicly, but it was a fun side project!
Avalanche LLM Analysis app
A web app that read the avalanche reports from LAWIS API and passed it over to a LLM model to generate insights. GitHub here: https://github.com/olgabienkowska/avalanche-llm-app
Sentiment Analysis Dashboard
With my friends, before the US Elections in 2024, we have developed a powerful AI Sentiment Analysis dashboard that analyses not just what the media says about the candidates, but - more importantly - how they say it.
Together we’ve built a platform that:
🌐 Tracks sentiment score across top media outlets
📰 Provides topic distribution comparing hashtag#Trump vs. hashtag#Kamala
🧠 Unveils the true sentiment behind headlines and content
🔎 Uncovers what people look for when they type in candidate names in Google Search
