10 years of FPGA/VHDL experience delivering mission-critical systems for defense, aerospace, and telecommunications. I've shipped radar systems for ISRO, data center switches competing with Cisco Nexus, and tactical military communications.
What I bring to your project:
• Fast, AI-accelerated development — I use ChatGPT, Claude, and OpenAI o1 to generate clean VHDL/Verilog code in days, not weeks. Recently delivered 3000+ lines across 8 modules in one week.
• Defense & aerospace proven — AESA radar, tactical switches for Indian Army, space-grade RS FEC systems. I know how to meet strict requirements and tight deadlines.
• Full-stack FPGA — RTL design, testbench creation, timing closure, IP integration, system-level architecture. Xilinx (Vivado, RFSoC, Ultrascale+), Microsemi, Altera.
• Remote-first — I've managed distributed teams and delivered complex projects entirely remotely. Clear communication, documented work, on-time delivery.
Patent holder. M.Tech in VLSI. Based in Bangalore, working with clients worldwide.

I build production-ready Computer Vision and AI video analytics systems that work in the real world — not just demo models.
I specialize in Python, OpenCV, YOLO, face recognition, FastAPI, OpenVINO, NVIDIA Jetson, GPU servers, and edge AI deployment. I help businesses convert existing CCTV/IP cameras into intelligent AI systems for security, access control, automation, monitoring, and operational intelligence.
My core expertise includes:
• AI CCTV monitoring and real-time video analytics
• Face recognition and face-based access control
• Smart visitor monitoring and unknown visitor detection
• Employee attendance and workforce activity monitoring
• YOLO-based object detection and custom model integration
• OpenCV-based image and video processing pipelines
• OpenVINO optimization for running AI on normal office PCs and Intel hardware
• NVIDIA Jetson and GPU-based edge AI deployment
• Restricted area alerts, blacklist person alerts, and security automation
• Jewellery theft detection, hand-to-mouth detection, and suspicious activity alerts
• People counting, zone monitoring, camera tampering detection, and incident tracking
• Real-time dashboards, reports, APIs, webhooks, WhatsApp/email/voice alerts
• Complete backend development using FastAPI, Django, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis, Docker, and AWS
I have built practical Computer Vision systems for offices, factories, gyms, coaching classes, hotels, jewellery shops, schools, and security-focused businesses. These systems include smart visitor management, face-based door unlocking, attendance automation, AI CCTV monitoring, jewellery theft detection, workforce monitoring, queue automation, hotel smart reception, and multi-camera surveillance intelligence.
My strength is building complete solutions end-to-end:
Camera/NVR integration → AI detection pipeline → backend APIs → database → dashboard → alerts → deployment → testing → real-world optimization.
I can deploy AI systems on NVIDIA Jetson devices, dedicated GPU servers, cloud infrastructure, or optimized local machines using OpenVINO when clients want lower hardware cost and faster on-site deployment.
What makes me different is that I understand both the AI model and the business problem. I do not only train models or write scripts. I design the full architecture, optimize performance, handle real camera conditions, reduce false alerts, build clean APIs, and deliver a system that is stable enough for real users.
Clients work with me when they need a Computer Vision engineer who can take ownership, think practically, communicate clearly, and deliver high-quality production systems.
If you need AI video analytics, face recognition, smart CCTV monitoring, OpenVINO optimization, YOLO detection, edge AI deployment, or a complete Computer Vision product, I can help you design, build, and deploy it properly.
