Welcome to my portfolio!


Hi! I am a computer science student at the University of California, Irvine specializing in machine learning, robotics algorithms, and optimizing parallel algorithms for high performance environments

Computer Vision with the Jetson Nano Workshop

Github Repository

Since we still had those 15 Jetson Nanos (thanks NVIDIA!), we should probably do something more with them. And what better to do with them than computer vision.

This workshop covers the following concepts:

  • Convolution-based image processing kernels
    • Gaussian, Low-pass blurs
    • Sobel operators/ high pass filters
  • Edge detection with Canny Edge Detector
  • VPI
  • Viewing CSI Cameras from the Jetson
  • PyTorch for utilizing the GPU
  • Flask website for streaming video
