THREE PRIMARY CASE STUDIES
CAPSTONE RESEARCH Jan–Mar 2026
REF: ZYRUS-PROJ-FLDMN-01

Non-Contact Flood Monitoring System

[ PROBLEM ] Flood alerts fail when internet and power fail. Physical water sensors suffer corrosion and debris obstruction during typhoon surge conditions.
[ ACTION ] Engineered a computer-vision water-level measurement pipeline with resilient multi-path emergency alerts over BitChat/Bluetooth mesh, SMS, and Telegram fallback channels.
[ RESULT ] Working physical prototype; rigorously tested water-level accuracy and alert delivery across simulated offline states; seeking funding or scholarship support for the flood-monitoring prototype.

ASSISTIVE HARDWARE PROTOTYPE COMPLETED
REF: ZYRUS-PROJ-HATSEE-02

Hat-a-See: Wearable Assistive Hat

[ PROBLEM ] Visually impaired individuals face head-level obstacles that traditional canes cannot detect; existing sensor hats trigger echo crosstalk and disorienting feedback.
[ ACTION ] Integrated Arduino UNO, HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensors, vibration motors, and a micro servo. Programmed step-scan servo logic and sequential sensor firing to completely eliminate acoustic crosstalk, paired with dynamic distance-based vibration pulse rates.
[ RESULT ] Full hardware and firmware lifecycle completed with wiring plans, user guide, and presentation.

Quantitative Trading Pipeline

[ PROBLEM ] Standard machine learning models overfit on non-stationary market time-series, yielding spurious backtests without robust statistical deflators or combinatorial cross-validation.
[ ACTION ] Constructed a nine-notebook pipeline following Marcos López de Prado methodology: fractional differentiation, triple-barrier labeling, meta-labeling, purged cross-validation, CPCV, Deflated Sharpe Ratio; multi-agent design with a live micro-capital track on Alpaca.
[ RESULT ] Final testing phase. Complete methodology implemented without heuristic curve-fitting. (Note: no performance claims or ROI claims presented, in compliance with scientific rigor).
