What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can ship privacy-first, real-time AI—especially computer vision and agentic multi-agent systems—using lightweight edge inference. I want Human-in-the-Loop control, strong engineering standards, and projects that impact logistics and security.

I’m an AI Engineer and Mechatronics Engineering undergraduate specializing in computer vision and agentic AI architectures. I’ve focused on deploying real-time vision pipelines and building privacy-first systems that work reliably in real-world constraints.

I’ve engineered privacy-first Local RAG using Google ADK with Gemma 3 and Qdrant, including secure retrieval via MCP and advanced prompt-injection guardrails. I also build strict Human-in-the-Loop control flows and integrate complex API tool-calling to support safe, interactive automation.

Across my projects, I’ve delivered practical AI products—from a DriveSafe AI driver monitoring system to an AI vision dashboard for smart office security. Notable results include 1st Place (DriveSafe AI), 3rd Place (Smart Office Security System), and strong competition performance in autonomous navigation and mapping.

Beyond AI, I bring hands-on mechatronics experience from an R&D internship where I reverse-engineered and built production-ready AGV assemblies, supported electrical integration, and authored clear user and maintenance manuals. I’m motivated to deploy lightweight edge inference models and scalable multi-agent networks to solve logistical and security challenges.
