I put together a team to develop a software that can automate time study data collection.

  • We made a pipeline that links together a computer vision model and a language model to achieve higher accuracy results at lower compute costs.
  • Met with a few companies to pitch our ideas and get feedback.
  • Pivoted after feedback and technical challenges.

The pipeline

Pairing a vision model with a language model for higher accuracy at lower compute cost.
