Experience
- ArityCodehttps://www.aritycode.com/
The website provides a platform that helps people learn to code and solve problems.
I created this web application based on Flask using Python. It has two databases with MySQL and MongoDB to store user information, and it captures the interaction between the user and the coding environment. - Indoor Location and Navigation
A W-KNN model that predicts the location of cell phones in indoor areas using received signal strength measurements.
I used different distance metrics such as Euclidean, correlation, and Bray-Curtis and created a quadratic optimization problem to improve location estimation accuracy using sensor data. - NFL 1st and Future—Impact Detection
Developed a computer vision model that automatically detects helmet impacts on the field. Developed and compared two object detection models based on YOLO and Faster R-CNN to see helmet detection in images. Used the post-processing techniques to remove false positive detection and improve the F1 score.
- LANL—Earthquake Project
It predicts the time remaining before laboratory earthquakes occur from real-time seismic data. The data is a single, continuous segment of the experimental signal.
I extracted many features from a time-series signal and developed a boosting tree to predict the time of the earthquake.
