What I'm looking for

I seek roles leading end-to-end AI and computer vision projects—especially drone and real-time vision systems—in mission-driven teams that value innovation and deployment impact.

I am a computer vision and AI engineer focused on designing and deploying real-time vision systems for security, agriculture, and accessibility. I lead AI-driven projects from concept to deployment, integrating computer vision, drone vision, and full-stack development to deliver practical, production-ready solutions.

My work includes integrating YOLOv8 into drone systems for object detection, building face-based AI login for mobile apps, and developing AI-driven crop protection with IoT and automated responses. I enjoy solving complex problems, collaborating across teams, and applying deep learning, MediaPipe, and full-stack tools to build systems that improve safety, efficiency, and accessibility.
