Developed PlantBot, an AI-powered gardening assistant designed for busy city dwellers. Using a Raspberry Pi, sensors for soil moisture and sunlight detection, and an ML model trained on plant health datasets, PlantBot proactively alerts users when their beloved houseplants need care. With cheerful notifications like “I’m thirsty—your fern speaking,” PlantBot has humorously saved countless houseplants from neglect, turning plant care into an engaging, enjoyable experience.

Created Roboista, a witty barista robot who serves coffee with a dash of humor and personality. Roboista uses computer vision to identify customers, machine learning to remember their coffee preferences, and natural language processing to engage in cheerful banter. Built on a Jetson Nano platform, Roboista combines TensorFlow Lite for real-time customer interaction and Arduino-driven robotics for precise brewing operations. The robot didn’t just improve the cafe’s efficiency—it became a beloved community figure, boosting both sales and smiles.
