We The People : Empowering Communities with Real-Time Voting By Jasmin Ibrišimbegović Introduction As civic engagement declines and trust in traditional institutions weakens, new tools are needed to empower individuals and revitalize collective decision-making. We The People is my answer: a modern platform serving the common good through Liquid Democracy and civic altruism. What is Liquid Democracy?

Nature Sounds : Identifying Sounds Around Us By Jasmin Ibrišimbegović Introduction We live in a world filled with sound—birds chirping at dawn, rain pattering on windows, dogs barking in the distance.

Nature Sounds is my attempt to tackle this problem: an AI-powered system that classifies 50 environmental sounds in real-time, from frog croaking to car horns, using deep learning and accessible mobile technology. The Challenge of Sound Recognition Sound recognition faces unique challenges that make it fundamentally different—and harder—than image recognition: 1. Temporal Variability Unlike a photograph with fixed dimensions (e.g., 224×224 pixels), audio clips vary wildly in duration. A dog bark might last half a second; rain can continue for hours. Models mus...

Domaca Hrana Shop : We Are What We Eat By Jasmin Ibrišimbegović Introduction I’m continuing my series on ethical software projects—tools designed not just to function, but to help society live in a healthier, more intentional way. In my previous article, I introduced We The People , a platform implementing Liquid Democracy. Now, I’d like to present a project with a different mission: connecting local farmers directly with buyers and promoting healthy, organic food—because we truly are what we eat. Project Vision Domaca Hrana is a sales and delivery platform for locally produced food. Producers can list their goods, and buyers can easily order fresh products from nearby sources. The platform runs on both web and mobile, with advanced order tracking and delivery features. Unlike many projects that start with a bare-minimum MVP, this platform launched as a fully developed system with all essential modules. In terms of functionality, I can confiden...
