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.

BoxBot

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