Worked to develop software for a device to help the visually impaired with day to dayPart of a team who developed an assistive device for blind or visually impaired individuals on the NVIDIA Jetson platform. By using deep learning to recognize important objects around the user and communicating that information through localized sound queues we can give the user a real time description of the world around them that they can control. I
Wrote a speech recognition module in C++ using CMU’s Pocketsphinx that allowed a user to completely control the device using their voice.
Oversaw all integration work between all modules (e.g. Deep Learning, 3D Sound) and heavily refactored codebase to enable easier extension tasks.
