Building edge AI for real farms

Most AI lives in the cloud. My final year project lives in the field. Arduino sensors, a Raspberry Pi logger, and ML models that predict what plants need before they show stress.

The irrigation model is a Random Forest trained on physics-based synthetic data, because waiting for seasons to collect real data isn't an option. The disease classifier runs on-device via TensorFlow Lite, so it works even without connectivity.

Building it taught me the whole pipeline: sensors, serial protocols, model training, model serving, and a dashboard that makes it all visible. FastAPI on the backend, Next.js on the front.

It's the project I'm proudest to show, because it proves the full stack, literally.

This is what I do every day. Whether you want to build or want to learn, let's talk.
