Work History

Research on Stochastic Optimization Algorithms

Python
09.2023 - 12.2023
  • Spearheaded the development of a novel stochastic optimization algorithm, showcasing innovation and problem-solving skills.
  • Got deep understanding of the intricacies of optimization techniques, loss landscapes, convex and non-convex optimization.

Object Detection

Python
07.2023 - 09.2023
  • Designed and implemented CNN architecture from scratch in Python without TensorFlow, including Conv2D, Pooling, FCLs, Batch Normalization, and Dropout regularization, using the CIFAR-10 dataset
  • Also implemented the same using TensorFlow.
  • Accuracy: >88%

Digit Recognition

Python
05.2023 - 07.2023
  • Without being dependent on any third-party library - Complete design and implementation of a neural network architecture, activation functions, optimization algorithm selection, training on the dataset, learning parameters, reducing cost, and iterating to get the best model.
  • Achieved over 99.98% Train Accuracy and 98.57 Test Accuracy

8051 UC Assembler

C
09.2022 - 01.2023
  • Created a robust assembler for 8051 assembly language, converting code into Intel Hex format. Processed (.asm) files, extracting opcodes, labels, assembler directives and operands. Implemented intelligent op-code decoding as per 8051 documentation, producing efficient Intel Hex (.hex) output.
  • Demonstrates strong attention to detail and expertise in low-level programming.

Quadcopter

Embedded C
07.2021 - 06.2022
  • Coding of Electronic Speed Controller, Flight Controller, and BMS of a Quadcopter. IMU Data processing, Interrupt handling, sensor interfacing, coding trapezoidal commutation, etc.
  • Leading the team to the goals set and executing the project on time, within budget, and with quality outcomes.

Optical Character Recognition

Java
03.2020 - 12.2020
  • No external OCR library used - Fair amount of success in developing a library for OCR to convert image paragraph to text paragraph by using self-developed algorithms for detection– Letter extractor and Path Finder.
  • The sub-parts included Line detection & separation, Letter separation, character extraction, feature finding (edges/curves) and ultimately running the self-developed path finder algorithm on the features to get the character.
