Building an intelligent system from data collection to real-time interaction.

About the course

This course gave me my first end-to-end machine learning experience. For Daisy, a posture-aware fitness coach, I built the complete pipeline: data collection, pose estimation via computer vision, feature extraction, model training, classification, and real-time feedback. Building every layer myself removed the black box from AI. I understood not just what the model did, but why it worked, where it struggled, and what the data demanded of the design.
