🎯 Overview
Personal Grifts is a growing collection of experimental scripts, automations, and data tools I’ve built for fun — and often, to learn.Each script is designed to automate a repetitive task, analyze data, or connect APIs in a new way, serving as a playground for new ideas that sometimes grow into larger projects. Each project typically focuses on:
- Data gathering or transformation (via APIs or CSVs)
- Automation with GitHub Workflows for recurring tasks
- AI-assisted summarization, clustering, or enrichment
- Open data analysis and lightweight visualization
🧩 Key Skills & Contributions
Python Development
Built modular, script-based tools for data parsing, transformation, and quick experimentation.
AI & Automation
Leveraged OpenAI, Mixtral, and other APIs for data enrichment, summarization, and insight extraction.
GitHub Actions
Automated recurring scripts and workflows for analysis and reporting—no infrastructure required.
Data Analysis
Parsed, filtered, and visualized both structured and unstructured data to surface hidden insights.
🚀 Evolution of the Project
1. Curiosity & Exploration
Started as small experiments to automate mundane data tasks and API queries.
2. Automation & Reuse
Introduced GitHub Actions to schedule recurring jobs and publish reports directly from GitHub.
3. AI-Augmented Analysis
Integrated language models for summarization, clustering, and semantic enrichment of data.
4. Knowledge Sharing
Refined scripts into open-source examples and reusable templates for automation.
🏆 Impact
Efficiency
Streamlined repetitive data and reporting tasks using lightweight automation.
Scalability
Built a reusable framework for testing automation ideas before scaling into production-grade tools.
Accessibility
Demonstrated the power of zero-infrastructure workflows hosted entirely on GitHub.
Innovation
Created a personal playground for AI-augmented data analysis and automation.
