🎯 Featured Projects (The Cool Stuff!)

| Project | Description | Tech Stack | |---------|-------------|------------| | 🧠 EEG Inner Speech Classification | Achieved 46.6% accuracy (vs 30% SOTA) on Nature's "Thinking Out Loud" dataset. Reading minds? Almost! | | | 🐠 Coral Genus Classification | Used agentic AI + vision encoders to achieve near-SOTA performance on coral classification | | | 🤖 AI Lip Reader | My first proper DL project - won a public hackathon! Can your AI read lips? Mine can. | | | 🎮 Fight Flappy! | Train AI agents to play Flappy Bird, then challenge them. Spoiler: They usually win. | | | 📧 Email Command Server | Automate tasks via email commands. Teen-me thought this was the coolest thing ever. | | | 🔒 Cryptosteganography | Hide images in images using logistic maps. Because why not? | |

🎭 Beyond Code

When I'm not debugging or training models, you'll find me:

🏀 Playing Basketball - Shooting hoops and debugging life
♟️ Playing Chess - Strategic thinking on 64 squares
🎮 Co-op Gaming - Teamwork makes the dream work
📚 Reading Research Papers - Staying at the cutting edge
🎤 Mentoring Students - Taught 20+ ML/DL training sessions
🎯 Building Startups - Because why have one job when you can have three?

🤝 Let's Connect!

I'm always excited to collaborate on AI projects, discuss research, or just chat about tech!
