RELEVANT

PROJECTS

Sentiment analysis of tweets(Java, Weka)

Used Machine learning algorithms to classify user sentiment by analyzing the textual content of tweets. Achieved 75 % accuracy for the two class classification problem on a test set. Time tracking application (Python, JavaScript, HTML, CSS) Built a simple time tracking application based on the Pomodoro technique to help users track and manage time. Used JavaScript and D3 to build cool charts for users to track various metrics over a period of time. Speech recognition using Sphinx (Java, Matlab)

Used Sphinx an open source speech recognition library to build a voice recognition plugin for student's complaints portal. Learned the theory and implemented a simple Hidden Markov model. Automatic Test Pattern Generator (Java)

Designed an ATPG to detect stuck at faults at any node in a circuit. D algorithm was used to propagate the fault to the output and path justification was performed as well. RISC CPU - (VHDL, ModelSIM)

Designed a 16 bit RISC CPU with a multicycle datapath in VHDL, verified with VHDL test benches, created a memory module from Alteras Megafunction Library and implemented it on the DE2 FPGA board.

Spaceship Game (Python)

Designed a game in which the user controls a spaceship with four buttons: two buttons to rotate the spaceship clockwise and anticlockwise, a thrust button and another to shoot at asteroids that spawn randomly with random velocities.

ACHEIVEMENTS Presented and won awards at various national level technical symposiums in India. Voted “Best young leader" by peers and professors in Hindustan University student leadership summit.
