Building Mitra — real-time AI that gives visually impaired people spatial awareness | Co-Founder & CTO, iHelp Robotics | Computer Vision × Multimodal Perception × Edge AI

About

Real-time AI has almost no margin for error when the person using it can't verify the output themselves. That's the problem I work on. I'm Co-Founder & CTO at iHelp Robotics, where I build Mitra — an assistive AI platform for the visually impaired that fuses computer vision, depth estimation, and scene understanding into real-time spatial guidance: obstacles, navigation, safety detection, delivered as it happens, not after the fact. Before this, I worked as an AI/ML Engineer on industrial predictive analytics and intelligent monitoring systems — production AI, not research demos. Technical focus: • Computer vision & deep learning (YOLO, detection, segmentation, depth estimation) • Real-time AI system architecture, edge + cloud (FastAPI, Docker) • Multimodal perception pipelines for safety-critical use cases I'm building for people the industry usually treats as an afterthought. If you work in assistive tech, robotics, or real-time AI, I'd like to connect.
