CARLA • Edge AI • Manufacturing IT
Welcome to My Portfolio
Hi! I'm Haotian (Nitro) Zhang — a systems-minded engineer who enjoys turning messy, real-world problems into reliable, well-structured solutions. I care deeply about how software behaves not just in theory, but in production.
My work spans intelligent systems that connect simulation, perception, and real operations. My capstone project explores AI-driven traffic hazard detection using RGB–LiDAR fusion in CARLA, while my Lean Improvement Library focuses on transforming manufacturing improvement cases into a searchable, governed knowledge platform used at scale.
Focus Areas
- CARLA-based AI hazard detection and multimodal sensor fusion
- Edge AI optimization for real-time inference
- Enterprise web systems for Lean improvement analytics
Featured Work
Traffic Detection System
Developed a multimodal Vision-Language Model pipeline using synthetic RGB and LiDAR data in CARLA to detect hazardous road interactions. Optimized for embedded Edge AI deployment and real-time inference.
View All ProjectsLean Library Platform
Built an enterprise-scale platform to digitize and govern continuous-improvement cases across manufacturing, with fast search, analytics, and role-based access for ~900 internal users.
