Projects

SignThemOff:Won first place at the NOVA FCT hackathon by creating a Pygame-based game inspired by Magic Touch: Wizard for Hire, where players had to form letters from the Portuguese Sign Language alphabet to win. Built my own dataset of gestures and trained a model to recognize them in real-time, hitting about 95–97% accuracy.
Lane Detection: did this because i was bored and computer vision is cool.

Currently Working On...

LLM-Powered Web Scraper Agent (@Augusta Labs): A tool that, given a game, scrapes the entire web for streams and checks if they originate from a specific provider (name redacted).

Monocular SLAM from Scratch: Building a monocular Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) system inspired by George Hotz's stream. This project involves implementing computer vision algorithms to reconstruct 3D environments from 2D video sequences using a single camera.
