Projects

Python · Flask · Flutter

  • Automated composite image generation showing time and lighting changes across fixed scenes
  • Built multiple rendering algorithms (Slices, Vortex, Starburst, Circles) in Python with custom masking and gradient logic
  • Created a Flask API to merge time-lapse images, reducing manual Photoshop work by 80%
  • Built a Flutter desktop app for image selection, parameter tuning, and live preview
  • Packaged the full system as a Windows executable using PyInstaller and Inno Setup

Full-stack development with Python and Flutter, image processing APIs, and packaging desktop tools for distribution.

React Native · TypeScript · Expo · PostHog · Sentry

  • Started as a personal habit tracker, evolved into a production-ready cross-platform mobile app
  • Built with React Native and Expo featuring goal tracking, streaks, and progress charts
  • Designed a local-first data model for fast, reliable offline usage
  • Integrated PostHog for behavioural analytics and Sentry for real-time crash reporting
  • Preparing for App Store and Play Store release via Expo's build and deployment pipeline
  • Refined onboarding flows and UX patterns through repeated iteration to improve clarity and long-term retention

Taking an app from idea to production — local-first architecture, analytics integration, and shipping polished software.

Autonomous Robot Navigation

Python · scikit-learn · MLP · Jetson Nano

  • Collected and labelled a custom image dataset of traffic signs and signals directly from the robot's on-board camera
  • Trained and tuned an MLP model for real-time recognition of 5 sign classes (stop, speed, green light, yellow light, sheep)
  • Deployed the model on a Jetson Nano-powered robot, enabling fully autonomous operation with no remote input
  • Robot responded correctly to each sign: stopping, adjusting speed, and holding position based on live predictions

End-to-end ML on real hardware — self-collected data, model training and optimisation, and embedded deployment for autonomous control.
