AI & Machine Learning

ShielDir: AI-Powered Threat Detection

YOLOv8–v12 VideoMAE Firebase

This team project focused on developing an intelligent surveillance system that leverages real-time weapon detection and human behavior analysis to improve public safety. My role involved training and evaluating object detection models (YOLOv8–v12) using custom-labeled CCTV datasets and implementing a VideoMAE-based architecture for suspicious behavior recognition. I integrated these models into a modular pipeline and built a mobile-friendly notification system with Firebase to deliver alerts instantly.

Smart Wildfire Management

Random Forest Thermal/Drone Bio+AI

This interdisciplinary research project explores how artificial intelligence and bioengineering can be combined to create fire-resistant forest ecosystems. As part of a multidisciplinary team, I contributed to an early-warning system that analyzes environmental and vegetation data to detect wildfire risks using Random Forest models.

We also proposed integrating AI-based risk analysis with genetically engineered tree species that exhibit fire-resilient properties, plus a monitoring infrastructure using thermal cameras and drone surveillance.

Software Applications

VirtualEvent Management System

C# WinForms ASP.NET MVC SQL

Developed a comprehensive event scheduling and notification platform using C# (WinForms) and ASP.NET MVC, integrated with an SQL database. Implemented key features such as user registration, role-based access control (admin/staff/user), real-time event editing, and automated notification alerts.

  • 👤 Role-based user registration (Admin, Staff, Participant)
  • 📅 Event creation, editing, and scheduling
  • 🔔 Notifications for updated/canceled events
  • 📈 Filters and sorting for event tracking

Computer Games

2D Adventure Game with Unity

Unity C# Gameplay Systems

During my internship at Teracity, I developed a complete 2D action-adventure game using Unity and C#. This included movement, combat, inventory management, wave-based spawning, boss battles, weapon switching (sword/bow), and UI with TextMesh Pro.

Kormos – Supernatural Detective Adventure

Unity 3D Enemy AI

Kormos is a 3D adventure game where players control a supernatural detective with abilities like clone summoning and time manipulation. Enemies include close-range rats and ranged priests, ending with a Rat King boss encounter.
