    Proxmaq

    Proxmaq is an Open source on a mission to make everyday life more accessible for blind and visually impaired people through AI. I joined as a volunteer AI engineer and built three modules that are now live in their ProxVision mobile app. The first lets blind users recognise the faces of loved ones and friends through their phone camera in real time. The second identifies and counts currency notes and coins so users can handle money independently. The third is a smart navigation module that detects obstacles and gives spatial guidance to help users move through their environment with confidence. All three shipped to the Google Play Store and the app supports audio output in over 100 languages.
