About

I build machine-learning models and the products around them.

I work across computer vision, efficient edge AI, full-stack development, and chatbots.

GitHub profile

Computer vision

Segmentation models and neural networks built from scratch.

Efficient AI

Optimizing models for fast CPU and edge-device inference.

Full-stack products

Web apps built from the interface through the backend.

Chatbots & applied AI

Conversational tools that make AI useful in real products.

Projects

Built and trained a U-Net model predicting masks for objects. Added image augmentation for higher accuracy, achieving a validation Dice score of 0.85 and IoU of 0.76.

CNN Study on CIFAR

Python, PyTorch

Improved a CNN from 75% to 87% accuracy. Implemented dropout, BatchNorm with GELU, learning rate schedulers, and fixed data augmentation leaks between training and evaluation.

Indus Dragon: Chess Engine

C++, PyTorch, AVX2

Trained a custom MLP on 25M self-play positions. Deployed for ultra-fast CPU inference using AVX2 & INT8 vector operations. Achieved 3M+ nodes/second and 2200+ ELO.

Built MLPs, CNNs, RNNs, LSTMs, GRUs, and a full GPT-1 style Transformer entirely without ML libraries. Implemented core optimizers including Adam, SGD, and RMSprop.
