  • Implemented Mediapipe Hands framework for hand ROI detection and skin mask extraction achieving 90% accuracy across diverse lighting conditions.
  • Engineered signal processing using band pass filters and FFT to extract heart rate signals, validated within 48-180 BPM range.
  • Applied experimentation workflow using Git for version control and automated testing, ensuring reproducibility across 50+ validation runs.

Featured Projects

SentinelCV

1st Place — Hola Mundo 2026

1st Place — Hola Mundo 2026 National Innovation Competition. Production-ready AI video analytics platform supporting 12 concurrent streams with 872ms E2E latency. Multi-model pipeline: YOLOv8 object detection, pose estimation (fall detection), and custom fine-tuned weapon detector (0.770 mAP@50). Curated 14K-image weapon dataset.

Deepfake Detection with ViT

0.972 AUC

Fine-tuned Vision Transformer on FaceForensics++ (7K videos, 6 manipulations). Achieved 0.972 test AUC, competitive with Xception (0.978), outperforming EfficientNet-B4 (0.967). Demonstrated superior robustness under heavy blur (AUC 0.873 @ K=7 vs 0.821 / 0.781) and stable JPEG performance. Cross-dataset eval on Celeb-DF v2.

Surgical Nursing RAG

Local RAG <250ms

Fully local RAG system indexing 1,557 pages of medical literature into 8,210 embeddings. ChromaDB vector search with semantic chunking achieves <250ms retrieval latency and L2 distance of 0.45. Offline quantized LLM inference eliminates cloud API costs entirely.

$ python ask.py "What precautions for mobilizing a patient with drains and catheters?"

Based on the surgical nursing reference:
• Secure all drains and catheters before moving
• Keep drainage bags below insertion site
• Avoid tension on tubing during transfer
• Monitor for pain, leakage, or dislodgement

GeoTIF Semantic Segmentation

77.2% accuracy

Semantic segmentation of aerial imagery (Potsdam dataset, 5cm/px) using a CNN and an encoder–decoder architecture with skip connections. The encoder–decoder significantly outperformed the baseline CNN (77.2% vs 63.4% test accuracy) across 6 land-cover classes.
