SAITO YUGO
I am a Year 2 Software Engineering student at the Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT), with a strong interest in software design and machine learning. I enjoy building intelligent, well-structured systems and exploring how AI can solve real-world problems.
(seeking for new learning opportunities in this area).
ABOUT ME
|
Hey there! I’m Yugo — a software engineering student who loves building smart and meaningful things with code. I first got into programming through LEGO NXT and block coding when I was 10, and I’ve been hooked ever since. These days, I’m especially excited about machine learning and data-driven applications. Whether it’s developing web tools, crafting games, or experimenting with AI models, I enjoy turning ideas into working systems. I’m currently a sophmore studying Software Engineering at SIT and I’m always on the lookout for new challenges and learning opportunities in this space.

PROJECTS
Here are the few notable things that i have built :
Face Detection API
Deploying a lightweight face recognition model to an API using FastAPI.
- 1MB face detection model for fast inference
- Exposed via FastAPI REST endpoint
- Dockerized for portability and deployment
Food Segmentation PWA
Progressive web app for labeling food items by combining automatic image segmentation (SAM2) with manual polygon editing in a React canvas.
- Users can upload food images, auto-segment regions, and label them
- Uses Florence-2 for dish name suggestions and SAM2 for segmentation
- Polygon editing powered by Konva.js
