Technical Skills
Work Experience
- Engineered a full-stack Water Quality Monitoring Dashboard with a FastAPI backend and React frontend to ingest and process 500+ real-time sensor records, improving operational monitoring efficiency by ~30%.
- Designed REST APIs and a normalized PostgreSQL schema to support real-time ingestion and query patterns, ensuring responsive dashboard updates for field operators and administrators.
- Implemented JWT-based authentication and role-based access control for 3+ user roles, centralizing session security and reducing unauthorized access risk.
- Built interactive data-visualization components in React to surface time-series sensor trends and alerts, enabling faster data-driven decisions by operations teams.
- Documented API endpoints with OpenAPI and produced developer-facing API specs to accelerate integration with frontend components and future integrations.
- Used Git and GitHub workflows for version control, managing feature branches and code reviews during the virtual internship to maintain code quality and collaboration.
- Developed an end-to-end poultry disease detection system using VGG16-based transfer learning in TensorFlow/Keras, achieving ~90% multi-class classification accuracy on a custom image dataset.
- Designed data preprocessing and augmentation pipelines (resizing, normalization, flips, rotations) to increase dataset diversity and reduce overfitting, improving model robustness.
- Fine-tuned model hyperparameters with stratified cross-validation and evaluated class-wise metrics (precision, recall, F1) to optimize overall and per-class performance.
- Implemented model evaluation scripts producing confusion matrices and classification reports to support stakeholder review and error analysis.
- Packaged trained model artifacts and prepared inference-ready pipelines and documentation to facilitate deployment handoff and reproducible inference.
- Collaborated remotely to source labeled images and defined evaluation protocols; project workflow and results supported an estimated 60% reduction in manual disease detection time.
Projects
- Built a Power Apps and SharePoint-based expense management system to centralize expense submission, tracking and audit information.
- Automated multi-level approval flows using Power Automate, reducing manual processing effort and turnaround time for reimbursements.
- Implemented status tracking and reporting to provide administrators real-time visibility into pending and completed reimbursements for audit purposes.
- Developed an NLP-based sentiment analysis model using TF-IDF vectorization and scikit-learn classifiers for movie review text classification.
- Applied preprocessing techniques including tokenization, lemmatization and stop-word removal to improve model input quality.
- Evaluated multiple models with cross-validation and selected the best-performing model based on validation accuracy and F1 score.
