Technical Projects
Power Line Defect Detector
Computer vision system using YOLOv8 to detect damaged insulators and hardware defects in aerial power line imagery for drone-based inspection workflows. Built a 1,000+ image dataset using Roboflow and Google scraping, achieving 81%+ mAP50 accuracy with low false alarms.
Implemented an OpenCV preprocessing pipeline with CLAHE and denoising to normalize lighting conditions. Deployed a production FastAPI inference server with automated PDF reporting and 15+ FPS real-time inference on CPU.
Malware Signature Classifier
CNN-based pipeline using PyTorch to classify malware signatures as image-like bytemaps. Applied computer vision for binary classification with a Jupyter user interface.
MicroSentinel
Tamper-evident Arduino device using Embedded C++ to record physical access attempts.
SIMD Audio
8x speedup normalization pipeline using C++, LLVM, and the Parabix framework.
Vehicle Sensor Logger
