Hi, I'm Ian 👋

Second-Year Computer Science Student @ USF · Software Developer Focused · Hackathon Enthusiast

I build accessibility-focused systems at the intersection of artificial intelligence, embedded hardware, and real-time software.

My recent projects include a low-cost tactile Braille display and an AI-powered wearable that helps visually impaired users navigate their surroundings.



About Me

  • 🎓 Second-year Computer Science student at the University of South Florida, graduating in 2028
  • 🛠️ Web Developer Lead for SHPE USF and Tech Lead for the Google Developer Group at USF
  • 🤖 Building with computer vision, AI, embedded systems, and full-stack software
  • 🚀 Currently creating the HackJam 2026 website and strengthening my data structures foundations

Featured Work

A low-cost physical Braille display that transforms text from a camera, PDF, or live screenshot into tactile output.

  • Built with React, FastAPI, Electron, WebSockets, Tailwind, Swift, and ESP32
  • Synchronized visual, audio, and tactile output through one real-time system
  • Designed button-only navigation for deafblind accessibility
  • Created as an alternative to commercial devices costing more than $3,500

An AI-powered wearable that helps visually impaired users understand and navigate their surroundings through object detection, haptic feedback, and voice responses.

  • Processed live ESP32-CAM video at 10–15 FPS using YOLOv8
  • Achieved under 150 ms end-to-end detection latency
  • Controlled three haptic motors asynchronously through WebSockets
  • Combined MiDaS depth estimation, GPT-4o, and ElevenLabs

Co-developed the official Hackabull application used by 198 participants for check-in, scheduling, event information, and logistics.

  • Deployed a containerized Fastify backend with Docker Compose
  • Integrated Google Sheets for no-code schedule and attendee updates
  • Supported a three-day program containing 26 events
  • Helped organize an event with 200+ attendees and 58 project submissions
