Write-ups of things I've built — what the problem was, what I chose, and what I'd defend if you pushed on it.
I wanted to play songs on the flute, but every song I found was sheet music I couldn't read. So I built a tool that teaches notation the other way round — by listening while you play.
I wanted to try an Apple trackpad without buying one. It turns out I already owned a slab of multi-touch glass — the hard part was deciding who gets to move the cursor.
I saw a flower in a park and wanted to know what it was. No bars. Every plant identification app on my phone was useless at exactly the moment I needed one — so the model had to come off the server and onto the device.
A wearable sleeve that reads EMG activity, sends it wirelessly to a computer, and turns it into cursor coordinates through a trained model — with seizure detection that alerts a caregiver when the signal goes abnormal.
Research work on eye-tracked cursor control — Mediapipe to follow iris movement, geometry to turn that into a point of focus on screen, and no hardware beyond the camera already in the laptop.
