2026 Hugging Face Build Small Hackathon, Best Agent Award with a $1,000 Prize
- Won the Best Agent Award with a $1,000 prize out of 946 apps created by hackers worldwide. Eyas is an offline CCTV intelligence agent that turns raw security footage into a structured event log using a chain of small, locally-running models with no cloud APIs, built to help convenience store owners detect shoplifting in real time instead of reviewing footage after the fact.
- Runs a four-stage pipeline entirely on CPU: YOLO11n detects and tracks people frame-by-frame; MiniCPM-V 4.6 (1.3B VLM) analyzes sub-sampled crops per tracked person and returns structured JSON observations; a heuristic event structurer converts observations into typed, zone-tagged events with timestamps using configurable evidence buffers; Nemotron 3 Nano 4B (Q4_K_M GGUF via llama-cpp-python) reasons over the structured event log to produce summaries, risk assessments, and natural-language Q&A with grammar-constrained JSON output. TinyAya handles Korean translation and VoxCPM2 generates audio briefings on CUDA-capable machines.
- Built a custom React SPA (Vite, MUI, Recharts, Framer Motion) served as static files through Gradio Blocks, replacing the default Gradio UI with a multi-camera review interface featuring resizable split panels, annotated video playback, a scatter-chart event timeline, and live pipeline progress tracking.
- Social media video filmed at Joy Convenience Store using mock camera angles. Demo footage sourced from publicly available CCTV clips, renamed and run through the full pipeline end-to-end.
Google Cloud Rapid Agent Hackathon
- Mycelium is a fully autonomous GitLab agent that prevents engineering knowledge loss by continuously modeling ownership, expertise, and structural fragility across a codebase and acting directly inside GitLab to stabilize it.
- Infers real ownership from commits, code reviews, module interaction patterns, and temporal signals. Identifies concentrated expertise risk, orphaned subsystems, and hidden fragility from evolving codebases and forks. When issues are detected, the agent autonomously creates targeted GitLab issues, generates onboarding context packs for new contributors, and produces handoff artifacts from historical activity when engineers go inactive.
- Runs a fully autonomous Observe → Model → Analyze → Decide → Act → Reflect → Persist → Summary pipeline. Webhook-driven triggers (push, merge request, issue, and member events) activate the pipeline in real time. A CLI enables direct operation with live streaming, on-demand onboarding and offboard generation, knowledge graph inspection, and event replay. A Next.js monitoring dashboard provides full visibility into live agent traces, per-stage reasoning, knowledge graph topology, bus factor analytics, and a complete action history log.
- Built on Google Cloud Agent Builder using Gemini via Vertex AI as the reasoning model and ADK as the agent runtime on Vertex AI Agent Engine. Execution layer uses the official GitLab MCP server alongside a custom GitLab MCP server for extended continuity workflows, and MongoDB MCP for persistent graph queries. Backend is a FastAPI server deployed on Cloud Run via Docker, handling webhook ingestion, pipeline orchestration, REST APIs, and SSE streams for real-time UI updates.
2026 Confluent Data Streaming World Tour AI Day Toronto Hackathon, First Place Winner, Most Impactful AI App Award (MacBook Pro Prize)
- First place winner at the 2026 Confluent Data Streaming World Tour AI Day Toronto Hackathon, with the Most Impactful AI App Award (MacBook Pro Prize). Built Sentinel AML, a real-time anti-money laundering (AML) intelligence platform that continuously analyzes financial transaction streams to detect suspicious activity as it occurs.
- Designed for compliance teams, financial crime investigators, and risk operations units in banks and fintechs, Sentinel AML replaces batch-based compliance with a continuous, autonomous, and auditable decision pipeline.
- Detection runs in Confluent Flink SQL using tumbling-window aggregations and statistical anomaly detection to surface behaviors such as structuring, velocity spikes, and cross-border anomalies within minutes.
- Alerts are enriched via Azure OpenAI (gpt-5-mini) using Confluent's ML_PREDICT function to produce concise analyst-ready explanations inside Flink, and routed to a streaming AI agent that triages cases to escalate, review, or dismiss with recommended Suspicious Activity Report (SAR) decisions.
- The system substantially reduces detection latency and manual investigation workload while improving response speed, operational efficiency, and auditability, lowering false positives compared to batch workflows.
1st Place Winner with a $15,000 prize - Hosted by Scotiabank × IMI BIGDataAIHUB
- Team lead of team 33. Led the team to win 1st place with a $15,000 prize among 430 competitors across 90+ teams, including PhD, Masters, and Undergraduate students, in the IMI Big Data & AI competition hosted by the Institute for Management & Innovation (IMI) UTM BIGDataAIHUB in partnership with Scotiabank.
- Engineered a data-intensive, interpretable AI Anti-Money Laundering (AML) system, with data analysis pipelines using 16 machine learning models across individual and small business entities, trained on customer-level features aggregated over 7 transaction types plus an all-types view in largely unlabelled financial data, capturing overall and transaction-specific anomalies.
- Designed and developed a source-compliant AML knowledge library (FINTRAC, FINCEN, FLSC, etc) mapping regulatory red flags to data features via AML patterns, enabling SHAP-generated, LLM-enhanced explanations that are human-readable, distinguish fraud vs. AML, and preserve auditability and factual consistency for compliance use.
- Built a full-stack Next.js web application integrating detection models, explainability, and the AML knowledge library into a unified investigator-facing workflow platform.
U of T ESC102 Praxis II Course Project
- Built Clover, a portable AI-powered pre-flight diagnostic system for D. Vision Aerials' FPV drones. Clover replaces manual motor spin checks with automated go/no-go assessments, improving consistency in pre-flight decisions and reducing operational risk in dense urban environments.
- The system evaluates drone health by combining acoustic motor analysis with onboard flight controller blackbox telemetry, comparing expected motor behavior against observed performance to detect and localize faults prior to flight.
- Clover runs on an edge platform (Raspberry Pi), producing real-time, time-stamped diagnostic outputs with full audit logs, and syncing results to a Supabase cloud database. Data is accessible remotely through a Flutter mobile app and a Next.js web dashboard for monitoring and review.
- For acoustic fault detection, it uses a multitask 1D CNN-ResNet architecture based on sound classification research. The deep learning model identifies fault types (motor, propeller) and infers flight direction. Audio inputs are standardized via preprocessing and domain normalization so that recordings from different drone units are mapped into the same feature distribution as the training dataset, ensuring compatibility and stable anomaly detection.
- The model was trained for 100 epochs on 324k audio samples, reaching 97.4% accuracy and F1 score on the reference dataset. In field testing, Clover achieved 81% accuracy/F1 on acoustic data and 87% on blackbox telemetry-based diagnostics.
