EXPLORING
THE EDGES
OF WHAT
I CAN BUILD.

I finished a BCA in AI and Data Science in 2025, then spent a year in industry: computer vision for a factory line at QbytX (FastFlow anomaly detection, YOLOv8, TensorRT on a Jetson Orin Nano), credit-risk modelling at DataMites and data science consulting at Rubixe. I'm now doing an MSc in Computer Vision, Robotics & Machine Learning at the University of Surrey on a Luminary Award. On the side I run a home lab, Lancer in India and Stella in Guildford, and use it to try things out: an EEG pipeline for motor imagery, local language models, and a quantum circuit experiment that beat a classical SVM on a small dataset. I'm most interested in computer vision and edge inference, where models have to run on constrained hardware.

THINGS I'VE BUILT
AND LEARNED FROM
01
EEG · VISION · BCI
BCI FRAMEWORK

An EEG pipeline for motor imagery: MNE-Python preprocessing (bandpass filters, ICA artifact rejection, CSP features) and SVM and CNN classifiers, checked against PhysioNet data. Now scoping a vision-only version that estimates attention and fatigue from a camera.

LOCAL LLM · PRIVACY · QUANTIZATION
SHENDU.AI

Set up Mistral 7B running fully offline using llama.cpp and GGUF quantization. Mostly wanted to understand how quantization works and what you lose at 4-bit. Inference at about 12 tokens/sec on CPU. Useful for air-gapped environments.

03
QUANTUM ML · QISKIT · VARIATIONAL
QUANTUM FEATURE MAPPER

Experimented with variational quantum circuits on Qiskit. ZZFeatureMap encodes classical data into quantum states, VQC trained via COBYLA. Hit 92% test accuracy against 79% for a classical SVM, on a dataset small enough that the gap needs more data before I'd trust it.

04
DISTRIBUTED · TRANSFORMER · HEALTHCARE
DISTRIBUTED HEALTHCARE QA

Built a multi-node transformer QA system across 3 partitions with federated inference and ensemble voting. More of an architecture learning exercise than a production system, wanted to understand distributed inference at a small scale.

05
COMPUTER VISION · WEBCAM · REALTIME
LIVE VISION CLASSIFIER

OpenCV + MediaPipe webcam pipeline with a custom CNN classifier on top. Runs at 30fps, all CPU inference under 40ms. Built it to learn how to build a training pipeline for custom gesture data.

06
GPT-2 · FINE-TUNE · BIOGRAPHICAL
GPT-2 CHATBOT

Fine-tuned GPT-2 on biographical text data. After a few epochs it started producing convincing responses. More of an experiment in understanding fine-tuning mechanics than a practical tool.

HOMELAB · DOCKER · SELF-HOSTED
LANCER + STELLA

Lancer, a ThinkCentre M73 Tiny in India, runs Immich, Jellyfin, Navidrome, Home Assistant and Frigate in Docker. Stella, a Beelink mini PC in Guildford, takes the heavier local model work. Both sit on one Tailscale network.

LOCAL LLM · STUDY VAULT · DISCORD
STELLA-80

A self-hosted vault for coursework. An agent turns lecture documents and slide images into searchable notes using local models on Ollama, with a web queue board and a Discord bot for status and alerts.

GENAI · FASTAPI · TEAM PROJECT
CAREER READINESS ADVISOR

A four-person capstone that matches a CV against job descriptions and builds a learning roadmap for the gaps. I built the FastAPI backend (CV parsing, LLM skill extraction, sentence-transformer similarity) plus hosting and integration.

SOMETHING

I'm in Guildford, studying for an MSc in Computer Vision, Robotics & Machine Learning at the University of Surrey (Luminary Award). I'm looking for part-time work or an internship that fits around my timetable. If you're working on vision, robotics or applied ML, or need someone comfortable with Linux and hardware, get in touch.
