I turn AI prototypes into shipped products
AI Product Builder | ML Systems | Data
Duke AI master's student building ML systems, data products, and 0→1 AI tools. Previously worked on L3 ADAS programs at Magna and founded AI products in fleet safety and resale automation.
Projects
Selected work
Finished products in market across commerce, agri-tech, fleet safety, health, and applied AI, plus Duke coursework and research demos. Built to be used, not only presented.
Course Co-Pilot
Multi-agent pipeline for transfer credit evaluation: a Parser Agent extracts courses via GPT-4o vision, Research Agents autonomously search university catalogs in real time, and an Orchestrator re-triggers research on low-confidence results before an Evaluation Agent finalizes scores.
ThriftSpark
Run your entire thrift store from one platform: POS, inventory, multi-channel selling, analytics, and shipping in one place. AI-powered listings in about 30 seconds.
SafeType
AI-powered parental monitoring for Android: custom DistilBERT over 10 safety categories, real-time alerts across WhatsApp, Instagram, Snapchat, and more, with transparent, child-visible monitoring (Duke deep learning project).
VoiceClone AAC
iOS app that gives ALS patients their voice back: cloned from a short sample, it speaks any phrase they type.
Agrofix
Scalable agri-tech solutions for growth: autonomous agriculture with smart spraying that cuts chemical waste and lifts yields for modern Indian farms.
Fleet Kawach
AI-powered fleet safety: prevent accidents, save lives. Integrated platform for drunk driving prevention and real-time AI safety coaching for fleets in India and beyond.
Driver Monitoring System
Occupant-state stack: dense facial mesh with refined iris loci, EAR/MAR analogs, PnP head pose with geometric fallback, gaze_region lattice for visual escape vs. forward field. Collapsed metrics only (no raw frame egress); versioned telemetry envelope into FastAPI; RollingSignalBuffer windows, parallel DistractionMonitor with orthogonal cooldowns vs. fatigue, semantic synthesis head with SHA-keyed deduplication. SQLAlchemy 2.0 async → PostgreSQL (TLS); trips + append-only alert ledger for replay. Dockerized ASGI; canonical dms.aher.dev.
Hundekari
Farmer Android app on Google Play with 2K+ downloads. Together with the farmer web platform, the ecosystem is visited by ~4K unique farmers each month.
HHG Farmer Portal
Digital receipts for sold produce, Mandi market rates with 7-day history, and a locality-based vendor marketplace. ERP-synced receipts from middlemen, trend analysis to time sales, verified local buyers and sellers, and yield insights from Mandi performance.
Coral Reef Monitor
AI coral reef health monitoring with computer vision.
Duke Reuse 360
Skip the line, save the planet. DukeReuse 360 is Duke University's AI-powered smart reusable dining container system. Pre-book your container, skip the wait, and track your environmental impact in real time.
Kitchen Verdict
Fine-tuned OpenAI model with a Gordon Ramsay–style chef persona baked into the weights; a side-by-side compare mode lets you see fine-tuned vs. base model outputs in real time, with an adjustable temperature parameter to control output sharpness.
KITTI LiDAR visualizer
Compact browser viewer for KITTI-style Velodyne scans: distance or intensity coloring, optional calib and label overlays, Three.js; handy for ADAS / LiDAR format demos, not a shipped product.
MediAlert
Advanced custom trained deep learning models that detect pneumonia in chest X-rays in seconds, not hours. Empowering doctors with instant, accurate clinical insights.
