Ashwin Shetty

Final-year engineering student who builds things at the intersection of machine learning, full-stack web, and mobile development. This is where I put the stuff I make.

Cognitive Model

A dual-layer AI architecture that simulates emotion by separating cognition into a fast "unconscious" system and a slower, reflective "conscious" layer. The unconscious layer generates instinctive responses; the conscious layer evaluates, suppresses, or amplifies them - mimicking how emotion and reason interact in human cognition.

LORE Benchmark

A benchmark that evaluates how well LLMs handle real-world OCR output - corrupted text, missing elements, garbled structure and all. Models are scored on their ability to parse noisy OCR input and produce clean, corrected JSON, testing a capability that matters in production but is absent from standard evals.

Moon Chess

A two-player online game based on the board game played by Columbina in Genshin Impact - a special variant of tic-tac-toe with its own ruleset. Players create a room, share a code, and play in real-time; Firebase handles matchmaking, game state sync, and score tracking across sessions.

Docsum

Point your camera at any document and Docsum extracts the text via OCR and returns a clean summary. Built in Flutter with a Python summarisation API on the backend - useful for quickly digesting printed reports, receipts, or handwritten notes without typing a word.

Background

About Me

I'm Ashwin Shetty, a final-year engineering student graduating in 2026. I build things across the full stack - mobile apps, web platforms, machine learning systems, and the occasional AI research tool.

My work ranges from practical (a camera-to-summary document tool, a fake news detector) to exploratory - like a dual-layer cognitive architecture that models how emotion and reason interact in AI systems, or a benchmark for how well LLMs handle messy real-world OCR input.

Outside of code, I enjoy reading stories - especially webnovels.
