Project details: AI-Powered IoT Hydroponics System
Overview
An AI-powered hydroponics system that monitors environmental and water conditions in real time, automates actuation through pumps and relays, and uses machine learning for plant disease detection and nutrient-status prediction. A live dashboard and physical prototype bring the sensing, control, and monitoring workflow together.
Monitors pH, EC/TDS, water level, temperature, and humidity.
Uses Raspberry Pi as the edge controller, with relays and pumps for nutrient and water control.
Includes plant disease detection and nutrient-status / deficiency prediction.
Connects sensor data to a live dashboard and a cloud-connected monitoring workflow.
Physical Prototype
The working prototype demonstrated physically, with plants, reservoirs, sensing hardware, and actuation connected on the exhibition bench.

Focus
AI & Automation Engineering
I'm Rana Saad Safdar, a Computer Engineering graduate focused on AI and automation.
I like working where software meets real systems: connecting an AI model to a workflow, making data usable, or getting an application into people's hands.
My foundation spans software, cloud, and embedded computing. That perspective shapes how I build: understand the problem, make the pieces work together, and keep the result useful.
Currently taking on client projects and one-to-one build sessions. Open to full-time AI engineering roles as well.
