EfficientMTNet: Lightweight Multi-Task Brain Tumor Analysis

Joint MRI classification and segmentation with only 1.38M parameters

A compact multi-task network that performs simultaneous brain tumor classification and lesion segmentation on MRI scans. Combines deep supervision with a custom joint classification–segmentation loss, achieving 99.07% classification accuracy at a fraction of the parameter footprint of ViT-scale baselines (~1.5% the size).

Mobile QA Multi-Agent System

Natural-language test automation for Android apps via vision-grounded LLM agents

An automated QA framework for the Obsidian mobile app built on Google's Agent Development Kit and Gemini Vision. A Supervisor–Planner–Executor agent hierarchy interprets plain-English test cases, drives the device through ADB, reasons over live screenshots, and produces structured pass/fail reports — no hand-written test scripts required.

Gas Labeler

Interactive segmentation-mask annotation tool for optical gas imaging datasets

A lightweight desktop utility for drawing and saving gas-region masks on images. Users trace boundaries with the mouse, fill enclosed regions, and the tool automatically generates paired binary masks and color overlays — purpose-built to bootstrap segmentation datasets for downstream training pipelines.
