Experience

Created a GoodService iOS Application with Real-Time Chat Using PubNub

Built an iOS application from scratch with real-time chat integration. The application made use of PubNub APIs and strategies for managing failovers to ensure reliable delivery of messages.

Also created a REST API using Ruby on Rails for a corresponding back-end functionality. Built an OTP verification using the Twilio API.

Image Search Engine for Fraudulent App Detection

• Implemented an image search engine using a “bag of words” approach to detect fraudulent apps during an App Store hackathon.

• Image features were extracted using SIFT and clustered using K-means. An inverted-index was created using TF-IDF scores. Given an image, it uses the TF-IDF score to generate ranks for all other icons. I experimented with it and came up with a threshold to consider an icon as "ripped of”.

EMR- DynamoDB Integration for Offline Log Processing.

Built a prototype to process compressed service logs in a Timber File System by copying them to HDFS followed by a Elastic MapReduce (EMR) job. A batch job runs a Hive query that parses the service logs, performs a "dummy-reduce‟, and then imports the results into a DynamoDB.
