    AVAILABLE FOR: B2B freelance&#x2F;contract roles.

    HEADING: Machine Learning and Computer Vision Engineer with 4+ years of production experience taking models from scratch to deployment across video analytics, affective computing, and digital health.

    EXPERIENCE:

    - Computer Vision and Video Analytics: Implemented models for multi-object tracking, 2D&#x2F;3D pose estimation, gaze detection, and demographic classification for continuous camera monitoring. Built a deep learning model for visual attention distribution from scratch all the way to production API deployment.

    - Camera-based Biometrics and Edge AI: Architected real-time pipelines extracting vital signs (HR, HRV, SpO2, respiration) and facial micro-expressions via rPPG from smartphone cameras, bridging models into a proprietary C++ core for mobile (iOS&#x2F;Android).

    - Applied AI and LLM Systems: Designed and deployed a clinical recommendation engine integrating multiple LLMs (OpenAI, Gemini, Groq, Ollama) on real-time patient data with automated evaluation and strict schema validation.

    - Industrial Vision and Hardware: Architected modular CV systems managing multi-camera acquisition (Basler line-scan cameras) with hardware&#x2F;software triggers and synchronized FIFO buffers for real-time anomaly detection.

    - Research: Co-authored a peer-reviewed publication (Springer Cham, 2024) on acute pain intensity estimation using 17 Facial Action Units and head pose components under cross-dataset conditions.
