Coming Soon
What I'm building right now.
Guided Visualization
In progressAn app that writes an original guided visualization every session, choosing from six generation templates โ from calming pre-competition nerves to winding down for sleep. Nothing is pre-recorded; each one is generated fresh, built to feel like a memory, not a script.
Text pipeline is built and wired to Claude, with six session templates each validated against a hand-written exemplar. Audio narration is next.
Right Whale Classifier
In progressA planned computer-vision model to identify individual North Atlantic right whales, using a photo-based dataset.
Researchers already track right whales individually by the unique callosity patterns on their heads. The idea: fine-tune a CNN on that same identification task and see how close a from-scratch model gets.
Wildlife Drone Program
In progressBuilding both the aircraft and the autonomy stack behind a deliberately homegrown goal: spotting the coyotes that move through the neighborhood, from the air.
A hardware build and a software program at the same time. Three airframes โ an X500 V2 as the proving platform, a Fighter 2430 VTOL for long-endurance mapping, and an RJX1300H hexacopter, the largest of the three, for close-range multi-sensor work โ assembled and bench-tested rather than bought turnkey, with a Jetson companion computer carrying the perception load. The software runs PX4 and MAVSDK under one hard rule: flight-critical authority stays on the autopilot, covering geofence, return-to-home, battery and link-loss failsafes, while mission logic and inference stay on the companion computer. The current milestone is simulation-only โ an arm/takeoff/loiter/land smoke mission against PX4 SITL, a config layer written to import no MAVSDK at all so it unit-tests in CI with no simulator or vehicle present, and an address check that refuses anything but loopback, so the smoke mission structurally cannot be pointed at a real aircraft.
AI Education Roadmap
37 courses and certifications I plan to work through, in the order I intend to take them โ fundamentals first, then hands-on building, then depth. Updated as I finish them.
- 1
Currently working through
Internal EY training, running alongside everything below.
- EY Sustainability Courses
- EY Technology Courses
- 2
Cloud & data fundamentals
The vocabulary layer โ what the services are, and where AI and data sit in a cloud stack.
- Microsoft Azure Fundamentals (AZ-900)
- Microsoft Azure AI Fundamentals (AI-901)
- Microsoft Azure Data Fundamentals (DP-900)
- 3

Data platform & BI
The stack client work actually runs on. My projects prove Python; this proves the rest of the pipeline.
- Microsoft Certified: Power BI Data Analyst Associate (PL-300)
- Microsoft Certified: Fabric Data Engineer Associate (DP-700)
- 5
Machine learning depth
The part behind the Data Science tab โ so the CNN and clustering work rests on theory, not just tutorials.
- DeepLearning.AI โ Machine Learning Specialization
- DeepLearning.AI โ Deep Learning Specialization
- Kaggle โ Feature Engineering and Intro to Deep Learning
- Microsoft Certified: MLOps Engineer Associate (AI-300)
- 6
Applied Azure AI
Hands-on assessments rather than multiple choice โ you build the thing to pass.
- Microsoft Applied Skills โ Develop generative AI apps using Azure AI Foundry
- Microsoft Applied Skills โ Get started developing agents in Microsoft Foundry
- Microsoft Certified: Azure AI Apps and Agents Developer Associate
- 7
Vendor specializations
Depth in the model and data-platform layer.
- NVIDIA-Certified Associate โ Generative AI LLMs (NCA-GENL)
- NVIDIA-Certified Associate โ Generative AI Multimodal (NCA-GENM)
- Databricks Certified Generative AI Engineer Associate
- 8
Risk, sustainability & governance
Where the accounting background actually compounds โ the AI work is more useful if I can speak climate disclosure and model risk too.
- GARP โ Sustainability and Climate Risk (SCR)
- IFRS Foundation โ Fundamentals of Sustainability Accounting (FSA) Credential
- IAPP โ AI Governance Professional (AIGP)
- 9
Stretch goals
Breadth once the core path is done. NCP-AAI expects a year or two of production agentic work, so it's genuinely last.
- Google Cloud โ Generative AI Leader
- AWS Certified AI Practitioner (AIF-C01)
- NVIDIA Certified Professional โ Agentic AI (NCP-AAI)
- 10
Outside the AI track
A side project rather than part of the path above โ though a drone and the computer-vision work would pair well eventually.
- FAA Part 107 โ Remote Pilot Certificate (small UAS)
