48h
from idea to working real-time demo
Who's at the door — and should they be?
Assisted-living facilities need to know when residents wander into unsafe areas or unknown people enter — in real time, from live video, with an interface staff can actually use.
01Built real-time face identification with DeepFace over live video for resident recognition.
02Shipped a React frontend so the system was a usable product, not a script.
03Led the team of 3 — split the work, integrated continuously, demoed live.
