Computer vision · Spatial awareness
Ona
Object Navigation Assistant that turns camera input into object, depth, face, OCR, and scene state for real-time spatial awareness.
- Object detection
- Depth
- Face recognition
- OCR
Selected work
Systems for seeing, understanding, and building.
I work across computer vision, applied machine learning, backend systems, and product engineering. These projects are the clearest expression of how I think: start with messy real-world input, make it legible, then build something dependable around it.

Collaboration
Have a difficult ML or backend problem?
I’m especially interested in computer vision, applied ML, and systems that have to behave reliably in the real world.
