Adetayo S.

Computer Vision Engineer, Embedded System & Robotics

Ready to work. Ready to deliver. Ready to build just what you have in mind. I'm an Embedded Systems and Edge AI Engineer. I help founders, researchers, and businesses turn ideas into working hardware. Real devices that ship, run in the field, and survive the real world. What I build • IoT devices and smart products (ESP32, Raspberry Pi, Arduino, cellular, WiFi, OTA) • Edge AI systems running computer vision on low power hardware (YOLO, TensorFlow Lite, ONNX, Edge Impulse) • Custom firmware in C, C++, and Python, including RTOS and low power designs • Custom PCBs in KiCad and 3D enclosures in Fusion 360 • Autonomous robots with ROS 2, Nav2, SLAM, and reinforcement learning • Full stack hardware projects from schematic and BOM to deployed product Real work I have shipped • AquaGuard, a real time pool drowning detection system on Raspberry Pi using a custom trained YOLOv8s model, deployed live for a Nigerian client • FarmGuard, an edge AI cattle intrusion detection system, YOLOv11n at 92.70 percent mAP50 on Raspberry Pi with GSM alerts, validated across three Nigerian farms • PERWER, an IoT solar monitoring system on ESP32 with custom PCB and live cloud dashboard • CourierX, an autonomous delivery robot with full ROS 2 stack and RL based path planning • Diamon, a smart insole for diabetic foot ulcer detection with a 92 percent accuracy ML classifier, winner of the Ilorin Innovation Challenge Why clients work with me • Fast first response, usually within hours • Honest scoping and realistic timelines, even when the truth is harder to hear • Clear regular updates so you are never wondering where things stand • End to end delivery: firmware, hardware, cloud, deployment, documentation • Strong ownership when something goes wrong, no excuses • I genuinely love crazy projects. The weirder the brief, the more excited I get. Background B.Tech Mechanical Engineering (Second Class Upper) from Ladoke Akintola University of Technology. Director of Competitive Robotics at Aurora Robotics, mentoring 50 plus student engineers. Founder of Samfred Robotics. Winner of 10 plus engineering and innovation competitions including First Position at Ilorin Innovation Challenge, Hack4Livestock, 234 AI Hackathon, and NASA Global App Challenge (Benin). Let's talk Send me a message about your project, even if it is just a rough idea. I will reply quickly with honest feedback and a clear plan. Whether you need a single firmware fix or a full hardware product built from zero, I am ready to help you bring it to life.
