Assistive Vision for Independent Living
Engineering partner to a German social-work entrepreneur building an offline assistive device โ it reads retail shelf prices for people facing cognitive and visual barriers to everyday independence. No cloud, no subscription, no personal data ever leaves the device. Full pipeline ownership: hardware selection, OCR engine benchmarking, label-layout detection, on-device inference tuning for low-power ARM hardware. Meant to reach care institutions, not retail shelves.
