Hi, I’m Samira. I turn messy data into things people can actually use.

Four-plus years in customer operations showed me where teams get stuck with their data, so I started building the tools to fix it. This site is a showcase of what I’ve made so far.

A few of my live, clickable projects are just below. Or hop in the little time machine up top to see the other side of this site — a fully working project I built, too.

Welcome to my world

Hi, I'm Samira — this whole site doubles as a portfolio piece and a personal page. Still learning, still changing, still cute about it.

Want the professional read instead? There's a little briefcase icon up top for that.

Azure Complaint Classifier

Turns a spoken customer complaint into a categorized support ticket with visual evidence: Whisper transcribes it, an image model pictures the problem, GPT-4o vision finds and boxes the issue, and GPT-4o files it under the right product category. It's the project closest to my day job: it blends the customer service work I do now with building ways to make complaints and issues actionable.

Ghost Write

Blind free-writing: type or dictate with the words hidden, no backspace, and a timer, then reveal and copy at the end. Pairs with the Prompt Genie Jar, which picks a prompt from 515 originals.
