Image Processing Application

Developed a desktop image editor using Java, following strict object-oriented design principles and the Model-View-Controller architecture. The application allowed users to load, edit, and save images with a variety of filters and transformations.

Key Skills Demonstrated

Designed and implemented a clear separation of concerns using the MVC pattern to organize the application's logic, UI, and data processing layers.
Built core image manipulation features including brightness adjustment, grayscale, inversion, and basic filtering operations.
Developed flexible image processing pipelines that could be extended with additional filters and transformations.
Applied object-oriented design best practices such as encapsulation, abstraction, and polymorphism to promote maintainability and scalability.
Handled file I/O for loading and saving various image formats to support user workflows.

Project Insights & Learnings

This was one of my first large-scale projects, giving me valuable hands-on experience applying object-oriented design beyond classroom exercises. Building a full GUI application also helped me think carefully about usability, code organization, and long-term extensibility.

The experience laid a strong foundation for many of the larger software projects I tackled later in my academic and professional career.
