Machine learning for autonomous systems and counter-UAS: multimodal detection, computer vision, prediction, and sensor data.
I build machine learning systems that model and predict the real world.
Autonomous systems and multimodal detection in practice; world models and representation learning in research.

path consistency for latent world models
A self-supervised mechanism that penalizes disagreement between horizon-conditioned direct prediction and autoregressive rollout, aimed at reducing compound error in latent rollouts. Designed as an importable component rather than a standalone architecture.
acoustic early warning, and where it breaks
A Random Forest classifier on MFCC features with local inference, reaching strong held-out metrics that then failed on real recordings while misflagging ambient noise. The generalization gap, not the accuracy number, is the finding.
