Things I’ve built and de-risked.

Precision hardware, the models that predict it, and the perception that runs on it. Filter by discipline, or read them all.

CNC machining chatter spectrogram — a frequency-versus-time energy heatmap

Machine Learning & Perception

Real-Time Machining-Chatter Detection

~97% accuracy on noisy real-world signals, trained only on clean data, where standard models collapse to ~46%.
