Projects — a map, my map

Missions and training runs. Missions are the projects where I asked a real question. Training is where I learned to spin webs.

Missions

01

Segma — U-Net from scratch

A U-Net rebuilt from scratch in PyTorch (≈ 7.8M parameters) to segment cats and dogs pixel by pixel on Oxford-IIIT Pet, with an ablation study measuring what skip connections really bring.

mIoU 0.719 · skip connections: +0.096 IoU on boundaries

RL-Games — Q-Learning, DQN and PPO from scratch

A reinforcement learning lab where every algorithm is hand-coded before being compared to Stable-Baselines3: Q-Learning (FrozenLake, Taxi), DQN (MountainCar), Actor-Critic PPO (LunarLander), and a Flappy Bird rebuilt from scratch as a Gymnasium environment.

Flappy Bird: 80 pipes per game, 20 out of 20 games without a crash

Deep Scan — Facial Recognition System

A complete system combining an embedding database with FAISS-optimised search: the face is detected with MTCNN, encoded into a vector by InceptionResNetV1 (FaceNet), then the closest matches to a query are retrieved in milliseconds.

BirdCLEF 2026 — Recognising species by ear

Team Kaggle competition: identify the animal species present in field sound recordings by fine-tuning a pretrained ResNet. A demanding evaluation: macro ROC-AUC, which weighs rare species as much as common ones.

Macro ROC-AUC: 0.87 (team)
