Employment
Experience
- Quantum Active Inference
Currently building a quantum version of the active inference algorithm, which is a plausible algorithm that might be close to how "the brain works." The project's goal is to set it up in a competitive environment, where it can be compared to its classical counterpart.
- Custom CRM and ISO Compliance Software
A serverless React project running on Firebase to manage day-to-day activities in a small manufacturing company. It includes business document creation (offers, order confirmations, shipping notes, and invoices), automatically sending invoices to the tax authority, and processing client and inventory management.
- SorterBot
A Cloud application to control a swarm of Raspberry Pis, featuring a real-time dashboard, a deep learning inference engine, 1-click Cloud deployment, and dataset labeling tools. SorterBot is able to control an arbitrary number of Raspberry Pis, each connected to a robotic arm equipped with a camera and an electromagnet. When a session is started, the arm scans the area in front of it, locates the objects and containers within its reach, then automatically divides the objects into as many groups as many containers were found. Finally, it moves the objects to their corresponding containers.
