# Project Overview
EdgeBridge bridges the gap between traditional Python scripting and scalable AI/ML solutions. With modularity at its core, developers can pick and use only the components they need. It provides tools for handling complex ML workflows, preprocessing datasets, optimizing models, converting data formats, running CLI commands, and deploying to edge devices.

# Features
- AI & ML Integration: Simplified APIs to integrate pre-trained or custom ML models.
- Edge Deployment Ready: Utilities for deploying AI models on Raspberry Pi, Jetson devices, or other edge hardware.
- Data Handling: Cleaning, preprocessing, normalization, feature extraction, and transformation utilities.
- CLI Support: Command-line tools to automate tasks, run workflows, and execute scripts.
- Modular Structure: Independent modules to prevent unnecessary bloat.
- Optimizer Utilities: Hyperparameter tuning, model pruning, and performance improvement tools.
- Converters: Seamless conversion between CSV, JSON, Excel, and other formats.
- Extensible: Easily extendable architecture for adding new modules or modifying existing ones.
- Testing & GUI Support: Built-in testing framework, GUI components, and visualization utilities.
