● Built and deployed the Healthy Inside website using MERN stack (MongoDB, Express.js, React, Node.js) and modern HTML/CSS
● Conducted code reviews and participated in agile processes, increasing code quality by 20% and reducing bugs by 30%
● Deployed the Node.js web application on AWS Elastic Beanstalk and provisioned Amazon DynamoDB tables. PROJECTS
Hotel Booking Whatsapp AI Chatbot Dec’24
● Engineered a WhatsApp-based hotel booking chatbot using Flask and Twilio API, used OpenAI's API for natural language processing and function calling to streamline user interactions and query processing
● Demonstrated a significant reduction in manual intervention by automating the hotel booking workflow in simulated environments, resulting in faster response times and improved system efficiency.
● Integrated MongoDB database with the chatbot system to manage real-time room availability checks and automated booking confirmations, enhancing the hotel reservation workflow Landmark Detection Using Machine Learning Apr’25
● Conducted EDA on the 4M-image Google Landmark dataset, selecting the top 20 classes via IQR balancing.
● Developed and benchmarked multiple CNN architectures (CustomCNN, ResNet50, VGG19, and MobileNetV2), utilizing transfer learning and hyperparameter tuning to optimize feature extraction capabilities.
● Achieved a peak validation accuracy of 87.57% with MobileNetV2. Real-Time Hand Gesture-Based Virtual Keyboard and Mouse Apr’25
● Developed a real-time dynamic hand-gesture recognition system by extracting MediaPipe Hand keypoints and computing angular features to represent each frame.
● Designed and implemented a three-layer LSTM network in PyTorch to classify four distinct gestures (“Zoom In,” “Zoom Out,” “Swipe Up,” “Swipe Down”) from temporal keypoint sequences.
● Trained the model over 50 epochs, achieving ~84 % validation accuracy, and exported the final weights for integration into live gesture control applications.
