HPIQ (formerly Humane) is HPE's AI innovation lab.

Tackled critical accessibility barrier in Ai Pin — settings could only be changed via visual interface — and engineered comprehensive voice-control for all settings, enabling full device control without visual dependency and improving usability for all:

• Built settings services at the system level and actions at the app level using Java, Android, and AIDL for inter-process communication.

• Integrated Regex, local LLM and GPT-4 to handle voice commands and disambiguation (eg. “connect to my airpods”, “turn on cellular data”).

Extended internship to lead accessibility research.

Developed and integrated new features into Be My Eyes’ internal tools using Python and Django:

Implemented country-based filtering for partner organizations, callers, and users to enhance data organization.

Enhanced partnership management by integrating additional data (eg. phone number), improving data completeness and accessibility.

Innovated a solution to a data privacy business issue faced by a hospitality industry leader, leading a project to develop a new high-performance data structure using the LDAP API in C:

The client’s senior engineers selected my solution for implementation out of the various company-wide solutions presented, impacting data management for the company’s 140,000+ employees.

Interviewed staff and community members about how to improve the clinic, summarizing my findings in a report. Provided basic medical care and assisted ophthalmological surgeries.

(IVV is an international NGO that built and operates an ophthalmology clinic with a modern operating room in Zimba, treating patients regardless of ability to pay. I’ve worked with IVV as a volunteer since I was 16)
