Image processing and medical imaging

Full-stack software engineering and AI systems

I study image-processing methods and build the software needed to test them.

Research questions.Working software.

I approach AI from both directions: understanding models and evaluation, and building the software that makes an experiment or model useful to inspect. My selected work includes computer vision, reinforcement learning, document-processing systems and model-serving APIs.

Fashion Attribute Recognition

One image, four attribute heads: material, color, pattern and texture. DINOv2 and ResNet-50 compared, with a reported mean macro-F1 of 0.765 versus 0.649 on silver labels.

Experience

Full-Stack Software Engineering & Technical Delivery

National Information Technology Services (NITS)

Voluntary contribution · June 2025–present

My contribution spans Python backend services, React application workflows, relational data modeling and document-processing integrations, alongside testing, technical documentation and handover preparation.

  • Developed Django/DRF services and REST APIs with PostgreSQL data modeling, authentication and role-based access controls.
  • Built and integrated React functionality for assessment, evidence-review, scoring and reporting workflows.
  • Implemented document-processing, extraction and import workflows using FastAPI and Celery, including local-model integration where appropriate.
  • Worked on database-query optimization, testing, technical documentation and user-acceptance preparation.
  • Prepared Docker Compose deployment procedures and technical handover materials.

Study

Current study

My current MSc coursework includes advanced image analysis, pattern recognition, and mathematical methods for data analysis and machine learning. I’m developing a medical-imaging research direction alongside my applied-AI and software-engineering work.

That direction is at an early stage. I’m not presenting a thesis or experimental results here.

Silver Labels Are Not Ground Truth: A Four-Head Fashion Classification Project

What do multi-head vision benchmarks measure when annotations come from heuristics and VLMs? This write-up examines the four-head classification setup, reported F1 metrics, and a separate 210-image human label audit.
