  1. CrocoSign

    Engineering thesis, 2025 to 2026, 41 s

    We translate Polish Sign Language (PJM) videos into text in a spoken language. Our engineering thesis at PJATK: a dataset of 29,932 video-sentence pairs from 150 Deaf signers, and three gloss-free models compared on it. A research prototype, not a replacement for an interpreter.

  2. Frank Tank

    Robot, 2025, 17 s

    A toy tank, stripped of its electronics and rebuilt to follow a person. A Raspberry Pi 5 with a Hailo accelerator runs YOLO on the camera feed and steers towards whoever it sees; an Arduino drives the two motors; after the wake word "ok", Polish voice commands start and stop it and change its speed. YOLO on the Pi's processor alone lagged, so we moved detection to the accelerator. A course project at PJATK, built with Rostyslav Kovalenko in May and June 2025.

  2. A glass ball held close to the camera; inside it a space with shelves and string lights is turned upside down and bent into glowing rings, with a rainbow at the edge of the glass.

    Inside the glass ball

    photograph, 2024

    A space full of string lights, bent into rings and turned upside down inside a glass ball held up to the lens, in January.

  3. A still harbour at night seen from a stone quay, a submarine's hull at the left; tall towers and lit buildings on the far shore, port cranes, and their lights reflected in the water.
