About
I am a Computer Engineering Student at the University of Toronto. I enjoy Math problems and Binge-drinking. I Always strive to bring at least 55% to the work I do. I know relevant languages like Python, MySQL, HTML5, CSS, Java. I have 12 months of professional work experience which helped me strengthen my reslove to graduate I am passionate about developing applications that solve real-world problems impacting at least a couple of users.
- Languages: Python, Java, JavaScript, C, C++, HTML/CSS, Bash
- Libraries: NumPy, Pandas, OpenCV
- Tools & Technologies: Git, Docker, AWS
Looking for an opportunity to work in a challenging position combining my skills in Software Engineering, which provides professional development, interesting experiences and personal growth.
Experience
- Developed and managed the backend of an e-commerce platform using Flask, MongoDB, and AWS.
- Worked on three web applications targeting customers, selling vendors, and admin users; built 50+ RESTful APIs with functionalities such as login/sign up, view a product, add a product to cart, checkout the order, etc.
- Improved the response time by 20% by refactoring the codebase and changing database design and queries.
- Added a bulk upload feature which reduced the manual work of adding products into a database.
- Tools: Python, Flask, MongoDB
- Customized a tree-based optimization algorithm that separates drugs into distinct groups to maximize the concurrent execution of drug dispenser robots; improved an optimization algorithm that reduced the cycle-time of the automation process by 25%.
- Devised a customized recursion algorithm to extend the functionality of the current environment to a multi-robot and multi-system environment
- Built a modular video analytics app using Flask, OpenCV that tracks the location of each human in a multi-camera environment; utilized perspective transformation, object detection, and object tracking to find the location of a human.
- Increased the speed of the video analytics app by 20% by using a customized YOLOv3 algorithm to perform object detection and DeepSORT algorithm for multi-object tracking.
- Tools: Python, Flask, OpenCV, Keras, Tensorflow, PyTorch
- Programmed a cloud-based web app using Flask and JavaScript aimed at storing, visualizing, and tracking temperature and humidity of each drug container to estimate the degradation of the drug.
- Created an alert system to send notifications and emails when the parameters exceed the threshold.
- Tools: Python, Flask, JavaScript
- Designed a library management system for a local library, where we undertook activities like requirement elicitation, preparing Data Flow and Entity-Relationship diagrams.
- Delivered a solution for a POC involving Automatic Financial Document Classifier using Natural Language Processing and Support Vector Machines with 96% accuracy on the company's data.
- Tools: Python, Scikit-learn, NLTK
Projects
A music streaming web app based on Django
- Tools: Django, HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, SQLite, AWS S3, Heroku
