Selected work

Systems, not just models.

A focused selection of computer-vision and robotics work spanning data design, model development, deployment, and real-world operation.

Experience

Building where models meet products.

My work has moved between sports AI, autonomous robots, 3D perception, and multi-camera systems—always with deployment constraints in view.
