About Me
I'm an AI Engineer working on computer vision, LLM-powered systems and applied machine learning. I currently work at The Data Island, where I help develop production computer vision pipelines for retail analytics and industrial surveillance.
My research interests include deep learning, multimodal systems, edge AI and robotics, with work accepted and under review at peer-reviewed venues.
I build end-to-end AI systems, from on-device models and RAG pipelines to distributed backends and MLOps infrastructure, focusing on ease of use, security and observability.

Projects
SmartForm: AI-Based Exercise Form & Rep Tracking
Built an on-device Android app for real-time pose and hand tracking to analyze form, count reps and provide posture feedback. Added gesture-based controls and per-user calibration with robust rep quality scoring.
SAG-RAG: Speculative Agentic Graph RAG Platform
Built a RAG system combining speculative query planning, hybrid retrieval, reranking and evidence-grounded synthesis with provenance tracking for reliable answers.
Additional Projects
Receipt2Ledger: Visual Invoice Processor
Built an end-to-end AI invoice processing pipeline that ingests PDFs from Cloudflare R2, extracts structured data with Mistral OCR/LLM, validates it and stores audit-ready records in PostgreSQL with retry, review and monitoring workflows.
VaultCLI
Built a security-focused Python CLI for encrypted file vaults with outer and hidden-volume workflows, including authenticated encryption, passphrase-based key derivation, integrity verification and streaming file handling. Implemented end-to-end validation, CI/release automation and a tested developer UX with one-command smoke and release checks.
DevLens: GitHub Repository Intelligence
Built a full-stack AI-powered repository intelligence platform that analyzes GitHub codebases and delivers architecture dashboards plus retrieval-augmented chat over indexed code.
Common Ground: AI-Mediated Deliberation Platform
Built a full-stack AI debate platform that structures multi-user discussions into shared ground and key disagreements, with secure auth, moderation, exports and email notifications.
Decision Archaeology
Built a full-stack decision intelligence platform for capturing time-locked decisions, tracking outcomes and surfacing reasoning patterns through AI-powered analysis.
Multi-Step Research Assistant Platform
Built a production-style research automation platform with multi-node planning, evidence gathering, analysis and citation-aware report generation with live progress tracking.
WebTorrent P2P Stream App
Built a browser-based P2P watch-party streaming app with WebTorrent/WebRTC that supports room signaling, synchronized playback, chat, reconnect recovery, tracker failover, subtitle upload (.vtt/.srt) and validation reporting. Implemented milestone-driven quality gates with automated smoke tests, security controls and observability endpoints.
COWFS: Copy-on-Write Filesystem
Built a userspace copy-on-write filesystem with FUSE that versions every write, supports snapshots/restore/GC/diff and ships with tested CI/CD and automated PyPI releases.
Dataset Quality Analyzer (DQA)
Built a CV dataset auditing platform for YOLO/COCO with integrity checks, anomaly detection, leakage analysis, CLI workflows and regression reports.
Predictive Maintenance MLOps Platform
Built an end-to-end predictive maintenance platform with validation-gated ensemble selection, production inference APIs and a dashboard for model decisions and live checks.
Realtime Fraud Detection Pipeline
Built an end-to-end fraud detection pipeline with offline training, stream-style scoring, analyst feedback ingestion, online model updates and Prometheus/Grafana observability for latency, anomaly flow and update health.
High-Throughput Distributed File Service
Built a distributed file service with resumable chunk uploads, HTTP range downloads, checksum validation and reliable state transitions with auth and audit logging.
Loom: Log-Observer & Monitor
Built a high-performance real-time log aggregation CLI with multi-source tailing, structured parsing, resilient rotation handling and a live WebSocket dashboard for throughput, severity trends and health metrics.
dgvis: Dependency Graph Visualizer
Built a Python CLI tool that parses dependency files across 7 ecosystems (npm, pip, Go, Rust, Ruby, Maven and YAML), constructs directed graphs from scratch, detects circular dependencies using Tarjan's and DFS algorithms and visualizes them as interactive D3.js force-directed graphs with live-reload watch mode, CI integration, plugin architecture and 132 unit tests.
NativeNote: Offline AI Notepad
Built an offline-first AI note-taking app in Flutter with rich-text editing, local persistence and on-device summarization using an ONNX-based runtime pipeline.
Complexity Lens
Built a VS Code extension that displays inline cyclomatic complexity via CodeLens with a sortable sidebar report and JSON/CSV export across JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Java and C# codebases.
Federated Learning with Differential Privacy
Built a research framework for comparing FedAvg, client-level DP-FedAvg and sample-level DP-SGD across synthetic, MNIST and CIFAR-10 datasets. The project includes configurable federated simulations, RDP privacy accounting, IID/non-IID partitioning, experiment sweeps, report generation and a dashboard for privacy-utility analysis.
Anomaly-Aware Probabilistic Forecasting for Multivariate Time Series
Built a research framework for joint probabilistic forecasting and anomaly detection on multivariate time series.
