I build difficult software products from idea to production.

Product-minded engineering across enterprise software, computer vision, machine learning, cloud infrastructure, security, and modern web development.

The work begins with a real constraint: a research question, a team request, a security boundary, or a product that has to survive production.

I move between interface, infrastructure, data, and models because the product does not care where one discipline ends.

The goal is not to finish an isolated task. The goal is to make the whole system work.

Selected work

Products with consequence.

Five systems, five very different problem spaces, one standard: the technical work must become something people can actually use.

Melodious

From printed sheet music to editable, playable digital scores.

Melodious turns a photograph of printed sheet music into a full musical document: 136-class detection, graph relationship inference, inspectable confidence, then editable MusicXML, playable MIDI, engraved notation, and downloadable artifacts. On held-out DeepScoresV2 testing it reached 0.852 mAP@0.5, beating published Faster R-CNN + HRNet (0.799) and Deep Watershed (0.503).

State-of-the-art computer vision research

Biodiversity Computer Vision Research

State-of-the-art plant-species identification, proven in the lab and monitored in an admin dashboard.

Across two supervised research phases, I built a biodiversity vision system that treated accuracy, dataset quality, and uncertainty as one problem. The strongest model reached91.7% validation accuracy and 0.893 macro F1 across57 species and 18,400+ images, a14% relative lift over the initial transfer-learning baseline.

The second phase made the lab operational: ResNet-50 embeddings and farthest-point sampling cut redundant samples by 35%, automation benchmarked70+ experiments with Wald confidence intervals, and anadmin dashboard monitored experiment runs, class-level failure, confidence, and dataset-audit status so the group could see what was improving in minutes instead of hours.

  • CNNs, VGG16 transfer learning, and geospatial/temporal context
  • Embedding diversity sampling and automated experiment reports
  • Dashboard-monitored runs, failure analysis, and audit workflows

Steganography Suite

Encrypted communication hidden inside ordinary text and images.

A complete security platform that encrypts secrets, conceals them in ordinary text or images, verifies integrity on recovery, and exposes measurable quality through PSNR, SSIM, capacity analysis, and a live product surface.

Operations

Evidence beyond the headline.

My range is not a list of tools. It is the ability to move from experiment design to operational software without losing rigor or the person using it.

Useful software begins with operational clarity.

I designed MediLinkLeb around the questions pharmacists actually need answered: where medicine is available, what is running low, what expires next, and who is allowed to change the record.

How I work

Across the whole system.

Strong products emerge when architecture, interaction, data, evaluation, and delivery are treated as one continuous responsibility.

Turn an unclear request into users, workflows, constraints, and acceptance criteria.

About

Measured work. Human reasons.

“I play the oud. Melodious exists because I wanted a machine to read the music I love.”

I treat applied AI like engineering and research: measured, reproducible, honest about tradeoffs, and complete enough to be useful. I am most valuable where product, software, and intelligence meet.

How I work with teams

Building across boundaries.

My strongest work often sits between disciplines. I can own a major technical component while defining interfaces, documenting decisions, debugging integration issues, and moving the complete product toward delivery.

The goal is not to finish my isolated task.
The goal is to make the entire system work.
