Personally, it’s been an amazing journey and knowledge exercise to get to this level of competence in AI and software development. Domain Expertise: ✅ athlete tracking | shot detection | scoring | drill analysis | pose estimation ✅ defect inspection | PPE compliance | staff monitoring | meter reading | quality control ✅ ANPR | crowd monitoring | people counting | intrusion detection | perimeter security ✅ tumor detection | ultrasound | X-ray/CT analysis | lesion segmentation | medical imaging ✅ aerial monitoring | traffic flow | license plate recognition | vehicle & accident detection ✅ customer analytics | receipt extraction | shelf monitoring | inventory tracking Tech Stack: YOLOv5–YOLOv8–YOLOv11, Detectron2, MMDetection, DeepSORT, StrongSORT, MediaPipe, OpenPose, Pose Estimation, Action Recognition, Segmentation (semantic & instance), OCR, anomaly detection, object tracking, PyTorch, TensorFlow, TFLite, Core ML, OpenCV, FastAPI, Flask, ONNX, TensorRT, OpenVINO, CUDA, AWS, Azure, GCP, edge AI, mobile AI, real-time inference, video analytics, AI automation, LLM integration (GPT-4o, Claude, Gemini, Groq), LangChain, LangGraph, CrewAI, RAG systems. 💬 If your project involves cameras, video, or images... and you need it fast, accurate, fully deployed, and intelligent enough to reason and act autonomously... I am the engineer you are looking for.
