Raven's Progressive Matrices — Abstract Visual Reasoning

Python · PyTorch

  • Team project attempting to replicate "An Interpretable Neuro-symbolic Model for Raven's Progressive Matrices Reasoning" (Zhao et al., 2023).
  • Reproduced the paper's three-stage neuro-symbolic pipeline — CNN → supervised VAE for semantic attribute extraction → cognitive-map relational reasoning — reaching 94% prediction accuracy.

LLM-Powered GDPR Compliance Classifier

Python · SvelteKit · PostgreSQL · Docker · Ollama

  • Built a tool that classifies survey questions against the special categories of personal data defined in Art. 9 GDPR.
  • Developed the full stack: SvelteKit/TypeScript frontend and API routes, PostgreSQL schema, and a three-container Docker Compose deployment. Kubernetes load balancing is planned.
  • Ran all LLM inference locally through Ollama so sensitive institute data never leaves the network.

Personal Blog & Portfolio (oechsner.dev)

SvelteKit · Svelte 5 · mdsvex · Cloudflare Pages

  • Designed and built this fully prerendered personal site from scratch, including a custom mdsvex pipeline for citations, display math, and reading-time estimates.
  • Authored a written design contract and kept the whole site to a single dark theme with no hard-coded colors.
  • Deployed on Cloudflare Pages via Git-integrated continuous deployment.

Quick Equipment Log: Hospital Equipment Tracking by Voice

Kotlin · Jetpack Compose · Gemini API · Three.js

  • Overnight hackathon with Tallaght University Hospital: replaced the occupational therapy department's Excel equipment tracker with AI-powered voice logging from the ward handsets staff already carry. Won Best Use of Technology.
  • Android demo app: an LLM turns dictation into a structured bookings via a JSON schema autofills a form: Human in the loop.
  • Identified items by the HealthCare21 service stickers already on every piece of equipment, so the solution needs no new hardware.
