Roni Bandini

Maker Buenos Aires, Argentina

I build experimental machines at the intersection of Machine Learning, physical computing, robotics, literature, electronic music and technological counterculture.

Founder of Contracultura Maker — an initiative around technological autonomy, strange machines, hardware experimentation and critical approaches to technology.

Main tools

Python · C++ · Arduino · ESP32 · Raspberry Pi · Edge Impulse · LLMs · n8n · Linux · 3D Modeling


🧠 Machine Learning

Edge ML, TinyML, Computer Vision, audio classification, anomaly detection and AI agents connected to physical systems.

🚦 TI AM62A AI Traffic Light AI-driven traffic-light prototype with TI AM62A and Edge Impulse
🏛️ AI Asset Protection Multimodal asset protection with sensors, Computer Vision and an AI agent
🤟 ASL Trainer American Sign Language trainer using Edge Impulse BYOM and TI AM62A
👁️ Visual Anomaly Grove V2 Visual anomaly detection with FOMO-AD and Grove Vision AI V2
🧍 BT Fall Worker fall detection using TinyML and Bluetooth
❤️ HR / HRV ECG stress classification using HR/HRV features and Edge Impulse
🚪 XIAO ESP32S3 ML Doorbell FOMO face-detection doorbell with Telegram notifications
📚 Reading Time TinyML audio recognition of page turns to estimate remaining reading time
Soccer Forecast Soccer outcome prediction on Arduino UNO R4 Minima
👁️ Visual Anomaly FOMO-AD visual anomaly detection on TI TDA4VM
🔊 Rubik Pi Audio Classification Audio Machine Learning with Rubik Pi and Edge Impulse

🛠️ Contracultura Maker

Machines that question conventional uses of technology: unnecessary devices, repurposed hardware, autonomy, anti-interfaces and technological détournement.
