Featured Projects

Owl Vision Pest Detection

YOLO11m computer vision model that identifies crop pests from field trap images, trained on a Dockerized GCP GPU pipeline (4x faster).

Current Project

Farm Monitoring Drone

Leading a student team building a drone that collects data across an entire farm, from crop growth to pest detection.

Now: partnering with a farm and working alongside its farmers to fit the drone to their needs.

Stereo Audio DSP Speaker

Custom STM32 PCB that filters music in real time, from 3.5mm jack through a 24-bit ADC, biquad IIR filters, DAC, and class-D amp.

BoxBot

Autonomous ROS2 robot that detects packages from up to 20 feet away and drives to them using real-time computer vision.
