spartacoos

Now: co-founder at Radiant Robotics, building physical AI for solar plants: edge-AI sensors, on-site drones with SOTA luminescence imaging, and the software that turns the data into maintenance decisions.


Hardware projects

HappyBees
Beehive monitor on a Pico 2 W that predicts swarming. Op-amp microphone front end, DMA audio capture, Butterworth filtering, FFT, TFLite Micro inference in under 200 ms, no cloud.
PyTorch on a $6 computer
ExecuTorch models running on a Raspberry Pi Pico 2 W.
Person detection on a Pico + ArduCAM
On-device inference with TFLite Micro; wakes a Raspberry Pi 4 through a transistor switch when a person is detected.
Low-power intruder detector
Pico + PIR sensor wakes a Pi 4, which runs face recognition, sends a notification if the face is unknown, and powers down again.
Quote delivery device
Connected display that delivers a daily quote.
Programming a Pico remotely
Over-the-network flashing and development for the RP2040.
