Developer | Computer Engineer
Interests:
* Web development
* Machine learning (ML): Contributor to the [complete machine learning package](https://github.com/Nyandwi/machine_learning_complete/)
* Internet of Things (IoT) devices
* [Air quality](https://airanalysis.netlify.app/) and [research in air quality](https://www.africa.engineering.cmu.edu/news/2024/08/20-richard-djarbeng.html)
* Computer vision applications
I use Python, JavaScript, C++, Dart for Flutter mobile app development and a host of other languages to build a working application.
## AI Apps: Latest launches and tools
I'm fascinated by AI applications and review the most intriguing ones on my blog. Highlights include
- [Andrew Ng's Landing AI for object detection and document extraction](https://rdjarbeng.com/agentic-object-detection-and-document-extraction-with-landing.ai/)
- DiD's ([text-to-video models ](https://rdjarbeng.com/the-danger-of-a-single-story-ai-generated-video-adapting/))
- Kolors' ([virtual try-on](https://rdjarbeng.com/kolors-virtual-try-on-nobody-s-gonna-know/)) (example below).
## Blog - Emerging Tech and AI news
I am building my [personal website](https://rdjarbeng.com/) where I [blog](https://rdjarbeng.com/posts), sharing insights on emerging tech.
🚀 Latest Insight: [How Google turned 5 million news articles into a flash flood warning system](https://rdjarbeng.com/how-google-turned-5-million-news-articles-into-a-flash-flood-warning-system/), an analysis of sensor-less forecasting and its implications for data-driven engineering.
Topics I Cover:
🤖 AI & ML: Breaking down complex research (like Google’s flood forecasting) into actionable engineering insights.
🌍 Environmental Tech: Air quality monitoring and IoT sensor networks.
🚀 Tech in Africa: Personal experiences and technical infrastructure in Ghana and East Africa.
