Projects

2023

A website that will be used to detect whether a website is legitimate or phishing using Machine learning algorithms. We applied algorithms like Logistic Regression, Naive Bayes, Support vector Machine, and Random Forest Classifier to the developed model.

2023

A web application where all small enterprises and medium enterprises register and upload all the product details and make them available to the customers. Our project will also provide analysis and analytics of the products and management of capital of the enterprise.
