• Applied Agile methodologies to enhance functionality and ensure iterative development.

• Integrated Postman API testing for endpoint validation and regression testing.

• Documented API endpoints using Swagger/OpenAPI to simplify developer onboarding.

• Enhanced application performance by reducing query latency by 25% through optimized MongoDB queries.

Weight Tracking Mobile App Java, Android, Room, SQLite

• Built a Java-based Android application to record and track users’ weight, BMI, and weekly progress trends.

• Designed multiple interactive screens (Settings, Dashboard, History) using Jetpack ViewModel for real-time updates.

• Integrated Room database for persistent offline storage and validated user input for data accuracy.

• Enabled image attachments for visual progress tracking and user engagement.

• Implemented data visualization for BMI and progress trends using charts.

• Reduced data sync issues by optimizing database transactions and LiveData observers.

• Tested across multiple Android versions to ensure UI consistency and app stability. DTMF-Based Home Automation System Arduino, Embedded C

• Designed and implemented a mobile-controlled home automation system using DTMF signaling and Arduino.

• Developed firmware to decode DTMF tone signals and trigger relays for secure appliance control.

• Ensured reliable communication with low-latency signal response (<100ms).

• Integrated fail-safe mechanisms to prevent false triggering or electrical interference.

• Enhanced circuit design to support multiple appliances (fan, lights, AC) from a single controller.

• Documented hardware schematics and firmware logic for future scalability and maintenance. Smart Car Seat Belt Accident Detection System Arduino, Sensors, C++

• Built an IoT-based accident detection system combining heart rate, alcohol, and eye blink sensors.

• Implemented a real-time GPS/GSM alert module that automatically sends accident data and location to emergency contacts.

• Improved driver safety with sensor-based alerts and automated ignition lock features.

• Conducted simulation testing to validate response accuracy and reliability under varying conditions.
