AI Strawberry Disease Detection

Featured · Master's Thesis

AI Strawberry Disease Detection

My Master's thesis: a hybrid object-detection model that flags strawberry disease and ripeness across a dataset of 9,000+ images, reaching around 90% accuracy by combining YOLOv9 and DETR. I owned the full pipeline, from data preparation and training to evaluation.

02What I Do

What I do best

01

Frontend Engineering

Responsive React interfaces built from reusable components and semantic HTML, with strong performance and accessibility built in from the start.

02

Interactive UI & Motion

Scroll-driven animation and micro-interactions that add polish and personality without getting in the way of usability.

03

AI & Computer Vision

A research background in object detection (YOLO and DETR) that sharpens how I think about data, edge cases, and building software that holds up in the real world.

03About

A frontend developer who cares as much about how things work as how they look.

I'm based in Auckland with a Master of Computing. Most of my time goes into building clean, responsive interfaces and practical software, turning ideas into products people actually use.

My background also runs through AI and computer vision, including my object-detection thesis, which shapes how I approach data and problem-solving. My main focus, though, is the frontend: building interfaces that are fast, accessible, and a pleasure to use.
