AI / ML / Computer Vision
Models, pipelines, and intelligent systems
Handwritten Digit Recognition – MNIST
Implemented a handwritten digit classification model using the MNIST dataset to explore supervised learning workflows. Designed and trained a neural network model in PyTorch. Evaluated performance using standard metrics (accuracy, loss) and optimized hyperparameters.
Interactive Demo: Draw a digit (0-9) in the black grid to see the CSS-only neural network predict it!
Computer Vision–Driven Collaborative Robot (Cobot)
Developed a computer vision system enabling a collaborative robot to detect the position of a pen/eraser and autonomously draw shapes. Implemented object detection with OpenCV. Designed a cross-language architecture (Python Vision + C++ Robot Control) with a custom API.
Malware Detection Using Machine Learning
Designing an ML-based malware detection system trained on malware datasets to identify malicious patterns. Building an end-to-end data pipeline (aggregation, preprocessing, feature extraction). Exploring multiple ML approaches.
Unity / XR / 3D
Immersive simulations and real-time experiences
Dusk Souls (3D Puzzle Game)
Designed a 3D puzzle game inspired by Dark Souls I. Implemented core gameplay systems (movement, interaction, puzzles) in C#. Created custom 3D assets in Blender (modeling, UVs, baking) and optimized for performance.
VR Paparazzi Simulator
Developed a parody VR game where players capture photos of celebrities. Implemented VR interactions and camera mechanics. Designed scoring logic based on player positioning and timing.
Educational VR Dungeon Game (In Progress)
Developing a serious game where players defeat enemies by solving math challenges. designing combat and progression based on learning objectives. Exploring MongoDB for data persistence.
DevOps / Cloud
Automation, deployment, and reliability
DevOps & Web Engineering Intern @ E-cube Technology
Led full refactor of company website (WordPress to Static). Standardized build/deploy processes. Implemented CI/CD for validation and automated deployment. Containerized frontend with Docker/Nginx. Deployed on cloud infra with HTTPS.
Freelance Web & DevOps Engineer
Designed and maintained websites for clients. Provisioned production environments (VPS, Domains, SSL). Automated deployment workflows to reduce errors. Managed backups and uptime.
