Computer engineering, graduating October 2026. I work on computer vision — mostly image classification and retrieval, and the data plumbing that decides whether either one works.

Looking for a junior machine learning / AI engineering role.

Retrieval-based plant identification built to run on the device: photo → encoder → embedding → ANN search → taxonomy, with abstention when confidence is low. Adding a species is a database insert, not a training run. Taxonomy changes run as hash-sealed transactions with rollback, because a bad merge silently relabels thousands of images instead of crashing.

Nine-class lung disease classification from chest X-rays. Fine-tuned YOLOv8l-cls on a 6,782-image dataset; 99.0% top-1 on a held-out 681-image test split never used for model selection. Streamlit interface for predictions, plus a feedback loop that collects wrong predictions and retrains on the corrected samples.

An API that reports what is actually wrong with a domain: SSL certificates, registration and WHOIS, DNS and email records, server, HTTP headers, subdomains and reputation. Free and paid surfaces are separated, listed on RapidAPI, and hardened with per-IP rate limiting, SSRF guards, an unguessable path prefix and CORS restrictions. Dockerised on Railway, frontend on Cloudflare Pages, Redis caching and Sentry on top.
