About Me

I'm a CS engineer at the intersection of AI research and production engineering. Currently a Research Assistant at Lawrence Technological University, I build real-time behavior detection systems with YOLOv8 and PyTorch — from dataset curation and YAML pipeline design through Grad-CAM explainability and deployment.

My technical range spans computer vision (YOLOv8, Grad-CAM, OpenCV), NLP and API engineering (FastAPI, regex pipelines, document generation), deep learning (CNN-LSTM hybrid models for seismic prediction), and cybersecurity (buffer overflow analysis, exploit research, EC-Council certified across 5 domains).

I have 4 published and in-progress research papers spanning enterprise cybersecurity, AI-based behavior detection, earthquake prediction with CNN-LSTM, and NLP-driven document intelligence. I care deeply about model interpretability, responsible AI, and clean modular architecture.

Experience

Research Assistant

Lawrence Technological University · Southfield, MI
CurrentDec 2024 — Present
  • Led end-to-end development of an AI-based classroom behavior detection system using YOLOv8 with measurable Precision, Recall, and mAP performance metrics.
  • Designed and curated structured multi-class datasets (11+ behavioral classes), enforcing annotation quality under limited hardware resources.
  • Integrated Grad-CAM explainability techniques to enhance model interpretability and support responsible AI practices.
  • Conducted iterative hyperparameter optimization and documented reproducible YAML-based training workflows.
  • Collaborated with faculty advisors to refine experimental scope and presented findings in structured research updates.
  • Independently troubleshot training instability, environment configuration issues, and dataset inconsistencies.
  • Maintained organized documentation of experiments, configuration files, and dataset revisions for long-term sustainability.
