GitHub Sponsors Profile

Hi, I am Rahul and I am an engineer on the Android Toolkit team at Google. I've done a bunch of open source projects with support from Google including @openid/AppAuth-JS and @openid/OpenYOLO-Web. Both these projects try making Identity and Authentication easier.
Apart from shepherding these projects, I also have fun building self-driving RC cars and am one of the core-committers on donkeycar. This was originally a way for me to explore the world of Machine Learning and now I can't stop building cars.
Current projects

Make donkeycar's training pipeline an order of magnitude faster and make it super easy to add more steps in the pipeline.
I recently added TensorRT support to donkeycar. I plan to add an accelerometer for determining throttle and use a transfer learnt based on Resnet50 to do steering. Also my pre-processing steps will include an attempt at lane detection and obstacle detection.
Experiments with the new Azure Kinect DK to do more computer vision using Kotlin. Some of my previous work is here. I built kotlin-native stubs for the C SDK on Linux.
Experiments with Machine Learning do do generative text and images and blog about it. This will include my own take on Neural Style Transfer.
Experiment with QMK firmware for the new keyboard I bought. This will be a forcing function for me to writing something using the C language which I have not done professionally in years.

How sponsorship helps
This helps me make donkeycars go faster. This will also help be build a racetrack, build better cars and open source their designs. Apart from that, sponsorship also gives me the motivation to do better and share what little I know.
