Hands-on experience spanning autonomous robotics, LLMs, computer vision, and scalable production AI web apps on AWS.

About Me

Applied AI & ML Engineer with a Master's from the University of Adelaide and hands-on experience spanning robotics, LLMs, and computer vision.

My expertise ranges from pretraining language models from scratch and deploying real-world sim-to-real robotic planners (Unitree Go2) to delivering production AI web apps on AWS.

Adaptable developer (Python, C++, C, Ruby, JavaScript) driven to build scalable, multimodal AI systems, intelligent voice assistants like Apsara AI, and client growth platforms.

Action-Conditioned World Models for Autonomous Navigation

RSSM / CEM SSIM 0.815 Unitree Go2 Sim-to-Real PyTorch / ROS2

Master's Capstone Research (University of Adelaide) — Supervised by Prof. Peng Shi & Dr. Bing Yan.

Designed and trained a 4.57M-parameter Recurrent State-Space Model (RSSM) and a hybrid Cross-Entropy Method (CEM) planner for mapless robot navigation. Achieved 0.815 SSIM for multi-step depth prediction, reduced collisions by an order of magnitude compared to baseline PPO reactive models, and transferred the model to physical Unitree Go2 quadruped hardware with a proximity-gating safety layer.

Apsara – Universal AI Desktop App (Electron-based)

Gemini Live API RAG / LangChain Electron / Node.js Voice & Vision

AI-powered desktop assistant with voice, vision, automation, and full computer control. Cross-platform, open-source, built with Electron + Gemini AI. Features include voice, vision, and automation; mouse and keyboard control; and file, clipboard, and web tools.

Dynamic Volume Controller

MediaPipe OpenCV Hand Gestures Python

Built using Google's open-framework Mediapipe for real-time 3D face and hand landmarks estimation.

Allows adjusting the computer volume using hand gestures, dynamically adjusting based on the person's distance from the laptop.

Face Mask Detection

TensorFlow MobileNetV2 Transfer Learning Computer Vision

Detects whether a person is wearing a mask using Tensorflow and MobileNetv2 architecture.

Notifies the admin through email if mask enforcement is not followed and the mask is not worn for 30 seconds.

NodeMCU Smart Car

ESP8266 Blynk IoT Embedded C++ Robotics

Engineered a Smart Car using NodeMCU ESP8266 for wireless control and monitoring.

Integrated Blynk IoT for a user-friendly Android and web interface, providing remote accessibility.
