Experience
Malware Analyzer Service
Developed a service for malware remote analyzing. The service receives user submitted samples, deploys them into virtual machines, and analyzes their behavior. The behavior is then classified and the user notified about the results.
Regression Test Platform for an EDA Tool
Developed a regression testing platform for an analog device environment. It was based on Squish and Qt. I performed UI tests based on previously recorded test cases. The results were reported to the team. It was the cornerstone of the CI/CD cycle of the tool.
Slow Motion Booth
Developed software to run a slow motion booth. The software was capable of working with high data throughput FlyCapture cameras, record videos at high FPS (240-960), chroma keying, and apply video effects (HDR, color balancing, B/W) during real-time play. The software could share captured videos, photos, and GIFs on various social media platforms (YouTube, Facebook, Twitter) and send directly to mail, , or upload to an FTP server. It had a highly customizable user interface and ready themes for birthdays, and weddings. The software included licensing, updating, and intended to be installed on booths with touchscreens.
API for Segmentation Athletes
Developed an AI-backed REST API for processing sports videos and segmenting athletes and sports equipment. The processed videos of golf and basketball were used to understand and learn techniques of well know athletes. It was based on DeepLab for human segmentation and additional algorithms. It used the video to train models to extract golf clubs and balls. It also used Google Firebase databases and storage for storing the large amount of data.
Streaming Software
Developed streaming software to stream desktop and media files to servers. The software allowed users to compose scenes for streaming with video files and images. The desktop also allowed the user to include voice from sources such as microphones, computer sounds, and video audio tracks. The software worked with Wowza servers with low latency.
Software for Clothes Segmentation
Developed software for the segmentation of clothes from an image, that then searched for similar garments in online shops. It used a large amount of annotated data. After segmentation, it was able to describe the name, color, and style of clothing.
Smart Mirror
Developed a smart mirror software using Intel RealSense cameras to power the mirror with voice control, and ability to apply makeup and filters to a human face.
