πŸ”­ What I'm Working On

  • Phase 4: Building React TypeScript dashboard for real-time face detection monitoring
  • Phase 5: Integrating 100k+ synthetic faces from StyleGAN2 + FFHQ datasets
  • Phase 6: Quantizing MobileFaceNet (FP32 β†’ INT8) for ESP32 deployment
  • Phase 7: Implementing Faiss vector similarity search for 1000+ identities

🌱 Currently Learning

  • Generative AI: StyleGAN2, LCA-GAN for synthetic face generation
  • Model Optimization: TensorFlow Lite quantization, pruning, knowledge distillation
  • Edge Computing: On-device inference with <2W power budget
  • Ethical AI: Bias mitigation, fairness metrics, GDPR compliance
  • System Design: Hybrid edge-cloud architectures for IoT

Fun Facts

  • I'm working on a 6-week research sprint to build a complete facial recognition system

  • I use 100% synthetic data because I believe in ethical AI

  • I optimize models to run on devices with <1MB RAM

  • My current project runs on <2 watts of power

  • I'm building technology for disaster response and remote environments

  • "I smile when I blink!" 😊


2025 Goals
