Streamlined secondary detection architecture for faster inference in real-time video surveillance applications by optimizing resources on edge devices and servers. Exploring configurations to port models to NPUs and port existing products from x86 to ARM.

Built scalable distributed data pipelines that analyzed terabytes of AR/VR telemetry to generate statistical reports on projection accuracy with 3D reconstruction, improving calibrated projection accuracy by 25%. Fixed critical race conditions in multi-camera systems and deployed an automated 6-DOF robot arm for data capture.

Accelerated object detection model training 40x by developing a novel subset selection method using ResNet50, achieving full performance with only 20% of the CIFAR-10 dataset. Proposed and implemented a latent space augmentation technique to synthesize diverse training samples using TensorFlow and MLFlow.

Designed and delivered full-stack optimized software solutions for attendance marking and safety and surveillance systems, contributing to ~80% revenue growth. Developed scalable YOLOv2-based video analytics pipelines with quantization and pruning optimizations, deployed via Docker with MLflow tracking across NVIDIA Jetson and Intel hardware.

Developed a sensor-fusion model and calibrated sensors to detect and localize simulated targets with 10cm accuracy at 50m using radar-camera data and extended Kalman filtering. Leveraged parallel processing in MATLAB to handle high-volume data in real-time automotive scenarios.

Improved downstream ADAS algorithms (TSR, Lane Detection) by calibrating fisheye lens distortion using curve fitting. Enhanced image processing pipeline, improved precision by optimizing Hough transform-based circle detection, and developed a regular polygon detection algorithm reducing inference time from 21ms to 2ms.
