WORK EXPERIENCE

Graduate Research Assistant at Clemson University Jun 2020 -Present o Collaborated with Motion planning lab and conducted research under Dr Ioannis Karamouzas o Plan, define, and execute autonomous driving vehicle using reinforcement learning o Controlled the autonomous car’s decision using lidar scan Data science intern at Kubixsquare Jun 2020 – August 2020 o Worked on bitcoin data scrapping, handling, manipulation, and data analysis. o Responsible for developing interactive graphs and visualizations using tensorboard. PROJECTS

Heart Disease Classification using supervised learning and Neural Networks Apr 2020 o Classified whether the patient has severe risk of heart disease or not o Used Supervised Algorithms like KNN, Logistic Regression, Decision Tree and Neural networks o Achieved an accuracy of 87% using a three-layer Neural Networks o Predicted the features likes Blood Pressure and diabetes having major impact on Heart Disease Controlling a 2D Robot using DQN and Convolutional Neural Network Mar 2020 o Developed and trained an Acrobot with two links using Deep Q learning o Actions space includes applying +1, 0 or -1 torque on the joint between two Acrobot links o Trained the Robot by passing the state as frame of images to the neural network o Used Epsilon Greedy strategy for the working of Acrobot using exploration and exploitation Deep Learning: Waste Disposal Image Classification Using Convolutional Neural Network Nov 2019 o The dataset was used from Kaggle, the system is highly recommended for binary classification o Dual layer of Convolution with Relu function was used to extract important features and tackle linearity o Max pooling of features is performed to prevent overfitting issues o Accuracy of around 90%was achieved by the CNN model Stock prediction using predictive analysis Feb 2019 o Developed the prediction model in python using LSTM (Long short-term memory) algorithm o The combination of technical and fundamental indicators was used as input o Predicted the information of the current trend of the stock o Suggested user whether the stock should be purchased or sold by analyzing the simple moving average Developed online platform (website) for local vendors using Web Technology Mar 2018 o Created a survey with the local vendors and understood their requirements o Tested the project using black box and white box testing o Worked as a backend developer using PHP and developed UML diagrams for interactions between the developers PROGRAMMING SKILLS
