The most amazing...
...thing I've ever developed was a product information extraction service (product name, nutritional table, allergens, etc.) for C-LABS, a food regulatory com.
Work Experience
Computer Vision Lead
ICardio.ai
- Added a View Classification that detects which specific view was used by the doctor when taking a cardiography: A4C, A5C, PLAX, and others.
- Implemented a Heart Parts Segmentation. It segments Left/Right Ventricle, Left/Right Atrium, Tricuspid Valve, and Mitral Valve in real-time with very high accuracy.
- Added Calculating Ejectiong Fraction feature. It calculates ejection fractions from DICOM using two methods: 3D convolutional neural networks and LSTM.
- Added Keypoint Detection and Tracking. This enabled users to detect centroids of the Left/Right Ventricle, Left/Right Atrium, Tricuspid Valve, and Mitral Valve. It also enabled real-time tracking.
Computer Vision Specialist
MaxinAI
- Worked on a project for C-LABS SA where we built an expert system that extracts nutritional information from a product box photo taken by the client and checked if it violates food regulations for a particular country.
- Implemented Jira for task management and Jira Confluence for documentation.
- Used Scrum methodology for the first half of a year-long project, before moving onto Kanban.
- Distributed tasks between three junior computer vision developers and three back-end engineers for the C-LAB project where we implemented a website for food product boxes validation/regulatory.
Full-stack Developer | Data Scientist
InvolveAI
- Developed data connectors to export data from different sources: Salesforce, Outlook, and BigQuery.
- Made predictor of customer churn and growth for list of customers using ML model.
- Optimized data integration steps and make them asynchronous and multi-thread to export as much data as possible in a limited time.
Full-stack Developer | Computer Vision Engineer
Luova Education
- Developed proctoring app that helps teachers manage online exams and get alerts in case of whisper, multiple face detection, or opening another tab session.
- Implemented webcam and screen streaming from students to proctor and live chat between them.
- Created the platform Qwiz and alerts managing board using React/Redux and Materialize library.
Data Scientist | Computer Vision Specialist
Pulsar AI
- Worked as a data scientist and computer vision specialist in Pulsar AI.
- Developed an optical reader of Georgian national ID with Computer Vision.
- Built a chatbot engine platform that gives clients the ability to build their own chatbots.
Junior Java Developer
Fina, LLC
- Developed a dynamic knowledge management system website for the Ministry of Environmental Protection in Georgia.
- Built a dashboard page for this application, fixed bugs, and created reports about environmental data.
- Constructed a dynamic knowledge management system that won the sustainability award in the category of planets.
Teaching Assistant
Free University of Tbilisi
- Reviewed and estimated other students' projects in programming methodology and programming abstraction courses. The projects were written in Java and C++.
- Advised them on how to write better code and make clear documentation.
- Composed midterms in programming methodology and programming abstraction.
Experience
Involve.ai
https://involve.aiI was a back-end engineer and data scientist; I developed data connectors to export data from different sources: Salesforce, Outlook, and BigQuery. I also made a predictor for "probability to renew" for a list of customers using the ML model.
