Engineering Principles

01

Evidence before assumptions.

02

Systems before features.

03

Constraints create innovation.

04

Research drives engineering.

05

Ship. Measure. Improve.

I don't build applications.

I build systems.

TrafficFlow AI AntBot WDS-IDS Atlas

They all solve the exact same problem:
Organizing complexity into reliable systems.

The Problem

Commercial hexapods ($5,000-$50k) gatekeep research. We engineered one for education.

[CAD: Hexapod Chassis]

CAD & Mechanics

Designed custom 21-DOF structural integrity models capable of carrying computer vision payloads.

[MATLAB: Inverse Kinematics Plot]

Inverse Kinematics

Validated mathematical models in MATLAB to generate stable tripod gaits across unstructured terrain.

[ARCHITECTURE / UI DASHBOARD DIAGRAM]

ABiZ

Engineered a high-performance business intelligence platform. Built a robust backend using Node.js and Firebase for real-time data synchronization, and designed dynamic visualization pipelines in React for analytics at scale.

TrafficFlow AI

Black-box deep learning is rejected by city planners. I built a hybrid architecture: LSTM for flow, LightGBM for tabular events, and Fuzzy Logic for human-readable rules (e.g., "IF congestion is HIGH, THEN extend green light").

Things That Didn't Work

My First IDS Model

The Attempt

Trained a generic deep learning model on raw HTTP payload signatures.

The Result

18% accuracy in real-world drift scenarios. Attackers obfuscated payloads effortlessly.

The Pivot

Abandoned payload inspection. Shifted to monitoring OS-level behavioral changes (CPU spikes, memory allocation) on the host.

Final Build (WDS-IDS)

100% Recall on SRBH-20. Engineered to run inference in <12ms on a Raspberry Pi 5.

A chronological log of curiosity and engineering experiments.

Lab 005

Experimenting with Edge AI inference pipelines

Deploying models onto Raspberry Pi 5. Pruning neural networks to achieve sub-15ms latency without dropping recall.

Lab 004

Building Atlas Ontology

Structuring engineering knowledge into a graph database. Mapping dependencies between research evidence and system claims.

Lab 003

Reading MPC (Model Predictive Control) papers

Evaluating if reinforcement learning can actually outperform heuristic schedulers in highly constrained edge environments.

Lab 002

Trying Fuzzy Logic for traffic control

Discovering that city planners hate black boxes. Writing human-readable logic rules to override neural network outputs.

Lab 001

Learning Inverse Kinematics in MATLAB

First attempts at mathematically modeling a 21-DOF hexapod. Lots of math errors and robot collisions.
