Spotlight — Computer Vision

Two CV systems we're building right now.

Computer vision isn't a checkbox on a service list — it's a different engineering discipline. Below: the two CV products in our pipeline, with the architectural calls already made.

COMING 2026-09-30

Biometric Access Control

A multi-tenant biometric access-control + secure-surveillance product, shipped per-customer on-prem. Face recognition with liveness, contractor TTL enrolment, visitor QR with host or kiosk binding, and a pluggable fallback pool of RFID + short-term QR + duress-PIN.

  • Fail-closed by design
  • Edge-first inference (Jetson Orin)
  • Tenant-scoped isolation in every query
  • Air-gapped license + opt-in telemetry
  • Anti-passback + muster + occupancy
  • Duress-PIN with silent alarm
23 ADRs accepted before a line of edge code shipped. MVP target 2026-09-30.

RESEARCH-GRADE

Identity-Preserving Image Generator

A Streamlit research surface that turns one selfie into identity-preserving portraits — and lets you compare six fine-tuning strategies side-by-side on a (Strategy × Backbone) matrix, automatically scored on identity, prompt-adherence, aesthetic, and diversity.

  • 6 strategies × 2 backbones, in parallel
  • Per-cell deterministic seeds (BLAKE2b)
  • ArcFace · SigLIP · LAION · LPIPS metrics
  • JIT eval — never blocks generation
  • Replicate + Fal.ai backends behind a registry
  • Per-subject LoRA training (~10 min on Replicate)
Pydantic-frozen contracts, DuckDB analytics, content-addressed storage. Parse-clean Phase-1 scaffold; Phase-2 wiring in progress.

Problem

Skilled technicians and customers were finding each other through informal channels — no escrow, no accountability, no review trail.

Outcome

A marketplace with AI-driven matching, M-Pesa escrow, and live booking reduced no-shows and gave both sides a paper trail.

Problem

Small businesses were stitching together accounting, inventory, payroll, and payments across four or five disconnected tools.

Outcome

A single platform with M-Pesa-native payments, financial reports, inventory, and an AI assistant collapsed the toolchain into one login.

Problem

A retailer needed product sales and a service marketplace under one PWA, with checkout flowing through WhatsApp where most of their customers already lived.

Outcome

A Next.js storefront with WhatsApp checkout and PWA install gave them a single surface for products, services, and customer support.

Problem

A community poultry investment group was tracking daily sales, contributions, loans, and meeting minutes across notebooks and group chats — no shared source of truth, no audit trail.

Outcome

An offline-capable PWA gives every member the same real-time dashboard the moment a sale, contribution, or loan is recorded — installable on entry-level Android, with PIN-based auth and no paid auth provider dependency.
