I'm a computer engineer who likes making cheap hardware do expensive things: a $50 drone that flies on my code, 3D scenes from twelve photos, a tutor that helps on day one.

About me

Rigorous enough to publish. Pragmatic enough to ship.

I'm a Computer Engineering student at Covenant University, fascinated by the space where deep learning meets the physical world: robotics, neural rendering, autonomous agents.

I value collaborative work and a research-first mindset: careful experiments, clear writing, reproducible code. Right now that means 3D Gaussian Splatting, imitation learning, and on-device inference on FPGAs.

Away from the bench, I play a lot of games, both competitive and casual.

Ask the network.

A real four-layer network, small enough to read. Tell it what you care about and it runs a forward pass, layer by layer, to the project you'll probably like most. Every line is a real weight: orange pushes up, blue pushes down.

Write to me.

If you're working on robots, rendering, or anything that has to run on hardware cheaper than it should be, I'd like to hear about it.
