Building things that solve problems I run into.

Associate Director of Analytics at the University of Arkansas. Maker, tinkerer, and small-business owner working where hardware, software, and AI meet. Whether it's a 3D-printed enclosure for a mesh radio, a voice agent running on a Raspberry Pi, or a site that teaches machine learning with real-world analogies — if it solves a problem, I'm probably building it.

Designing and manufacturing MagSafe-compatible enclosures for Meshtastic and MeshCore off-grid mesh networking devices. CAD in Shapr3D, printed on a small Prusa farm (Core One + Prusa XL), and shipped through the OffGrid Devices site, Etsy, and Amazon.

• Javia — a voice assistant I built end to end, hardware and software. Press a button, ask anything, and get a spoken answer back in under 1.5 seconds — with short- and long-term memory so it gets more personal over time. Raspberry Pi with dual I2S mics in a custom 3D-printed enclosure; FastAPI + Supabase backend; Whisper (via Groq) → a 120B open model → streamed speech.
• Agentic video pipeline — turns long-form video into short vertical clips by chaining five models: Whisper (transcription) → Qwen3-VL (scene understanding) → a Claude-agent highlight picker → YOLO (subject tracking) → FFmpeg (9:16 export). Roughly $1–2 per video instead of $30/month for SaaS, and any stage swaps out when a better model ships.
• Hand-built RAG — the AI chat on shreyashg.com runs retrieval I wrote from scratch: embeddings with hybrid search (cosine similarity + BM25) fused via Reciprocal Rank Fusion. No managed vector database — the retrieval logic is all mine.
• TubeGenius — an MCP server built for the Hugging Face MCP Hackathon that auto-generates titles, descriptions, and thumbnails. For the image side, I fine-tuned Stable Diffusion on a set of top-performing YouTube thumbnails.

• Needle-decompression indicator (patent pending) — a thumb-sized 3D-printed turbine that mounts on a chest-decompression needle (the emergency treatment for a collapsed lung) and spins the instant air flows, giving the person treating it a clear "you're in" signal. Adds almost no weight, and prints in the field.
• Parametric heat-set insert generator — one Shapr3D file that generates 20 brass insert sizes (M2–M6) from three inputs, reverse-engineered from caliper measurements. Open-sourced on Printables and GrabCAD.
• Drone frames + topology optimization — exploring generative, topology-optimized quadcopter frames: let the solver decide where material belongs along the load paths, then print the result.

• shreyashg.com — My personal site. Writing, projects, and a self-hosted AI chat with the hand-built RAG above.
• billsincongress.com — A Congressional bill tracker that helps you understand the bills your representatives are proposing, with plain-English summaries and live status.
• mlfordummy.com — Machine learning explained with real-world analogies.

I publish my designs across all the major 3D printing platforms — pick whichever you already use:

• Printables → @shreyashgupta
• MakerWorld → @shreyashgupta
• Thingiverse → @shreyashguptas
• GrabCAD → @shrey.g-2

I'm also a Shapr3D Creator Partner, so a lot of the parametric source files are available alongside the STLs.

If I'm running into a problem, I'm probably not the only one. Build the thing, share what I learn, repeat.
