Recent work:

• microscope — Reproducible mechanistic-interpretability toolkit: sparse autoencoders, transcoders, auto-interp, and feature circuits on Gemma-2-2B, with adversarial controls and honest-evaluation-first scoring.
• Agentary — Autonomous multi-agent research platform.
• cortex-score — Score any video for predicted cortical engagement across 5 brain networks (built on Meta FAIR’s TRIBE v2).

• UT Disaster — Professor-led disaster damage assessment platform: VLM pipeline on pre/post Hurricane Florence satellite imagery, React map UI, FastAPI + PostGIS backend with natural-language spatial Q&A.
• SentinelEdge — Smart security cameras for small businesses: runs threat detection on a small on-site computer (NVIDIA Jetson Nano) and pings the owner’s phone in under 2 seconds, with no cloud round-trip. Funded pilot with a local gas-station owner.
• rajputra.org — Community engagement portal serving 10K+ monthly visitors.
• Inventory Tracking System — Nonprofit warehouse platform for Hope Restored Missions: Nuxt 3 + Vue 3 + Prisma + PostgreSQL replacing spreadsheet-based tracking, with C-based QR / barcode scanning compiled to WebAssembly. Led a five-engineer team.
• Access Control Manager — Embedded access controller for The Lab.ms makerspace: ESP32 + 13.56 MHz RFID + fingerprint authentication on a custom PCB, with FreeRTOS firmware keeping audit trails reliable through network outages.

Curious builder interested in quantum computing, robotics, embedded systems, computer vision, and edge ML. AI / ML is where I’ve spent the most time so far.

Looking for more meaningful projects to contribute to. If you maintain something in any of those areas and want a hand, point me at an issue: madhavcbusiness@gmail.com.

Also happy to take issues / PRs on cortex-score — the only public surface of my brain-encoding work.
