Hi, I'm Jacob.
I build

EEE student working at the intersection of AI and engineering — from LLM agents and computer vision to embedded hardware I solder myself. Currently seeking AI / engineering internships and research opportunities.

About Me

Jacob

I'm an Electrical & Electronic Engineering student focused on applying AI to real engineering problems — and on the hardware that AI runs on.

My projects span LLM agents, computer vision, embedded systems and full-stack app development: I've deployed AI agents to servers and local machines, built a YOLO vehicle-detection pipeline on live camera streams, shipped a production outdoor-activities app, and hand-soldered wireless sensor nodes. When an idea grabs me, I just start building.

I'm currently looking for an AI / engineering internship or undergraduate research position where I can contribute to meaningful work and keep learning from experienced engineers and researchers.

Featured Projects

YOLO real-time vehicle detection on a live camera stream

Real-Time Vehicle Detection & Tracking

Built a YOLO-based pipeline that detects and tracks vehicles on a live RTSP camera stream, assigning persistent IDs to each vehicle across frames. Covers stream ingestion, inference and tracking visualisation end to end.

[ AI agent deployment ]

Local AI Agent Deployment (OpenClaw)

Deployed the OpenClaw AI agent framework to both cloud servers and local machines, enabling fully local agent execution — covering environment setup, service configuration and remote access.

LLM AgentsLinux ServerSelf-Hosting
[ AI customer service ]

AI Customer-Service Agent for Auto Repair

Built an AI customer-service agent for an auto repair shop that generates automatic repair quotes, connected to the shop's local database for pricing and parts lookup — turning enquiries into instant, accurate estimates.

Raspberry Pi vision-guided robot car

Vision-Guided Robot Car (Raspberry Pi + OpenCV)

Designed and built an autonomous robot car from the chassis up: Raspberry Pi running OpenCV for real-time line following, a servo-mounted camera for active vision, an LCD status display and a battery power system.

ESP32 rendering a 3D model with Gouraud shading on a TFT display

ESP32 3D Renderer on Embedded Display

Converted images into 3D models and rendered them in real time on a small SPI TFT display driven by an ESP32 — implementing Gouraud shading within the tight memory and compute budget of a microcontroller.

Wireless IMU attitude sensor module

Wireless IMU Attitude Sensor Node

Built a compact attitude-sensing node pairing an IMU breakout board with a Bluetooth module for wireless orientation streaming, powered by a small LiPo cell. Hand-soldered all interconnects and validated real-time data output.

AI Video Production Workflow

Designed a GenAI video pipeline: prompt-engineered stills, then first/last-frame conditioned video generation using Seedance 2.0/2.5, Veo 3.1 and GPT-Image. Watch the school promotional demo film above — produced entirely with this workflow.
