Autonomous systems and multimodal detection in practice; world models and representation learning in research.
Junior ML Engineer at Hertz New Technologies.
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.
Built DetMesh, a multimodal counter-UAS system combining audio, RF, and vision for drone detection. The work later became Umbris.
AgloMeter, a data-driven analysis of transport exclusion and accessibility. Led the team as project manager.
