Single-EMG Multi-Pattern Prosthetic Hand M.Sc.

CAD cross-section of the hand mechanism: worm-gear drive, return spring, and gripper linkage — CAD cross-section: worm-gear drive, return spring, gripper linkage

A multi-grip prosthetic hand driven by a single surface-EMG channel. Two muscle impulses are classified on-device with Dynamic Time Warping on ESP32 and combined into a 2-bit code that selects one of four grips, at a measured 92% pattern accuracy and 414-644 ms impulse-to-motor latency on a 3D-printed PLA mechanism (DC motor + worm gear + encoder).

AI / ML pipelines

FluxImageGeneration: local Flux.1-schnell/dev image generator with multi-LoRA stack and IP-Adapter (true-CFG fix for guidance-distilled Flux-dev).
WanVideoGeneration: local Wan 2.1 text-to-video and image-to-video on 6 GB VRAM; shard-by-shard fp32→bf16 streaming converter (76→38 GB on disk) after diagnosing a Windows commit-limit SIGSEGV.
LoRA Maker: Flux LoRA training wrapping kohya sd-scripts with block-swap-to-RAM.
Voice Studio: GPT-SoVITS V2ProPlus local voice cloning + audiobook rendering; tagged-markdown to chapter WAV with per-segment timeline sidecars, on 6 GB VRAM.
AudioToText: multi-track audio → diarized, speaker-labeled transcripts; ffmpeg splits per-speaker tracks, OpenAI transcribes, and a custom per-chunk speaker-resolution algorithm (containment-via-smaller) fixes diarizer label-drift across chunk boundaries. ~2,000-line single-file PyQt6 app with cache-based reprocessing.

Daily-driven personal tools

Fitness Tracker: 7,200-line single-file PyQt6 diet/workout/recipe tracker with a food calorie calculator; installable PWA phone mirror over an embedded HTTP server, packaged as a Windows exe.
Lab Results Archive: single-file PyQt6 blood-test/lab results archive with a Flask PWA served in-process from a system-tray controller; per-test history with reference-range coloring, optional Cloudflare tunnel for HTTPS-from-anywhere, packaged as an exe.
StoryTeller: 5,100-line single-file PyQt6 app for co-writing long-form fiction with LLMs (Claude + DeepSeek + local Ollama); editable-manuscript model, refine-prompt flow, installable phone-mirror PWA. Three years of daily use.
Screenshot Translator: 2,700-line single-file Windows tray utility: region screenshot → local PaddleOCR → DeepSeek translation, from a single native Win32 global hotkey; DPI-aware capture, off-thread workers, daily-driver replacing ShareX + cloud OCR.

Full-stack PWA / web apps

ImageVideoWeb: one Flask backend behind both a PyQt6 desktop GUI and an installable Android PWA; OpenAI gpt-image + Kling v3, Cloudflare-Access-gated with a self-spawned, orphan-safe tunnel.
Suno Studio: single-file Flask PWA consolidating three older desktop apps for creating and managing AI-generated music; installable Android PWA over a Cloudflare named tunnel with a Job-object no-orphan cloudflared lifecycle.

Developer & systems utilities

Exe-Toolbox: PyQt6 front-end for PyInstaller that fixes its silent failures (Flask/web-app bundling, build-provenance stamps, throwaway-venv lean builds), plus a PNG→ICO converter; packages itself into an exe.
AntiVirusLocal: single-file Windows PyQt6 scanner for bandwidth-selling proxyware, PUPs, adware, and crypto-miners; PowerShell-driven scans of packages, services, tasks, startup, connections, and browser extensions, with multi-step uninstall and an AI-reviewable report export.
