Research and Projects
- Cloud Platform using Docker container as a Service
Designed a cloud platform using Docker containers. Main focus was to provide Container as a Service to end users. Moreover, studied the performance degradation for multiple containers running on the same node. Experimented with multiple flavours of workload in containers. Techstack is Ruby on Rails, InfluxDB, Dockers, RestAPIs.
Supervisor: Prof. Prabhakar T.V, CSE Department, IIT Kanpur.
- Lecture Halls Booking platform,
Developed a WebApp and an Android application for Lecture halls reservations. Backend was written in Java while frontend in Angular and android for web and Mobiles respectively. Mentor – Prof. Prabhakar T.V, CS654 (Software architecture).
- Foreign Body Detection-contact lens
We need to find out the eye images where the subject had used contact lenses. Used supervised learning on IEC 2005 and MBGC Iris dataset. Implemented “Automatic Detection of Non Cosmetic Soft Contact Lenses in Ocular Images” achieved 80% accuracy using MATLAB.
