We basically built Jarvis for drones. A safety-first command platform that translates natural-language voice commands into deterministic flight actions for autonomous drones. Built for contested environments in defense; hard-block logic rejects anything that violates no-go zones, altitude caps, or mission-critical constraints before it ever reaches the aircraft.

3D-printed smart glasses that translate American Sign Language into real-time speech. A repurposed webcam soldered onto the custom frame feeds a MediaPipe hand-landmark pipeline and a TensorFlow gesture classifier. Curated a proprietary first-person dataset and added toggle logic to disambiguate fingerspelling from full-word signs.
