Comparative analysis of monocular depth estimation methods, with robustness evaluation under degraded conditions

Tech: Python, PyTorch, Stable Diffusion, I-JEPA, DepthAnything V2
Highlights: Compared five approaches on NYU Depth V2 (ResNet-50 baseline, frozen SD & I-JEPA features, their fusion, and DepthAnything V2 as SOTA reference), and measured robustness under fog, blur, and low-light.

From codebase Q&A experiments to a deployed personal RAG assistant

Tech: Python, LangChain, PostgreSQL, pgvector, Ollama, FastAPI
Highlights: CodeRAG — improved Recall@10 from 63.7% → 88.8% via LLM code summaries, enriched metadata, and chunking/embedding experiments. Otto RAG — productionized those learnings into a deployed RAG over Gmail & Google Drive with per-user isolation and OAuth2. Shared agentic pipeline with query rewriting, relevance grading, and hallucination checking.

1st place, Garaža Frontier Hackathon — transform room videos into 3D scenes and swap furniture with AI

Tech: React, FastAPI, Three.js, Depth Anything V3, YOLOv8, Google Gemini
Highlights: Video-to-3D point cloud reconstruction, AI furniture detection with semantic product search, photorealistic replacement generation.

CBOW & Skip-Gram with Negative Sampling from scratch in pure NumPy

Tech: Python, NumPy
Results: 44.2% Google analogy accuracy (CBOW), WordSim-353 ρ = 0.731 (SGNS) on text8. Includes interactive REPL, W&B sweeps, pretrained embeddings, and pytest suite.

Interactive web app for graph visualization and manipulation

Tech: Python, Django, D3.js, JavaScript
Highlights: Plugin architecture for data sources (JSON, XML) and visualizer backends. Multiple views (Main, Tree, Bird/minimap), CLI terminal for graph CRUD.

Full-stack Uber-like application with real-time tracking

Tech: Java, Spring Boot, Angular, PostgreSQL, WebSocket, Leaflet, JWT
Highlights: Live map tracking, WebSocket chat, JWT auth with role-based access, Android companion app, E2E tests with Selenium.
