Computer & Research Engineer | Building ANT R&D | Engineering solutions for everyday challenges
Hello there! I'm Charles Ekanem, a recent Computer Engineering Graduate from Nile University of Nigeria. I have interests in embedded systems, smart devices, machine learning and dataset creation/curation tailored to Nigerian contexts. I am also building ANT Research and Development Lab to promote indigenous and innovative tech research and development tools. I'm passionate about building smart systems that combine hardware innovation and software intelligence.
A classic 2-player game developed with the Waterfall model. Implemented logic to allow turns and input validation, employed use of TKinter GUI.
GitHub
A CNN-based system to detect facial manipulation in videos and images. Employed a Transfer Learning and Ensemble dataset approach.
GitHub
Designed and programmed a 4WD Arduino-based robotic vehicle. Integrated Ultrasonic, Infrared sensors with NavLogic for autonomous navigation.
GitHub
Enhanced speech clarity in Nigerian urban noise using a custom built CNN-BiLSTM-Attention-Residual (CBAR) Model. Developed a custom hybrid dataset with real world Nigerian urban noise (chatter, generator, traffic).
GitHub
An ultrasonic sensor-based contactless smart waste bin using Arduino. Using an ultrasonic sensor for input and servo motor as actuator, the servo lifts the lid when an object is detected at a distance.
