Projects
Image Based Forest Analysis & Optimal Path Computation Python, YOLOv8, OpenCV, ML GitHub 2024 – 2025
• IEEE-published AI-powered system analyzing satellite imagery to detect tree crowns, estimate green cover, and compute optimal traversal paths.
• Fine-tuned a YOLOv8 model achieving 77.1% precision and 76.6% recall using transfer learning on a custom annotated dataset.
• Engineered a modular backend with three integrated pipelines — tree detection, vegetation segmentation, path planning — exposed via REST APIs.
EcoSort Python, TensorFlow, Keras, Streamlit, OpenCV, REST APIs GitHub Sep 2024
• AI-powered waste classification using VGG16 and ResNet50 deep learning models, improving accuracy from 71% to 90% via transfer learning and fine-tuning.
• Built fullstack inference pipeline: backend preprocessing (500+ images) integrated into a Streamlit UI, delivering real-time predictions under 2-second latency.
• Designed backend as a deployable ML service with modular preprocessing, model inference, and output rendering — end-to-end feature ownership from model to UI.
HarvestPro HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Python, ML (Random Forest), REST APIs GitHub Feb 2025
• Built a fullstack smart agriculture platform integrating crop/fertilizer recommendation, disease detection, and AgriBot
(AI chatbot) — serving 500+ dataset entries.
• Achieved 99.3% crop recommendation accuracy and 96.4% fertilizer accuracy using Random Forest models trained on curated datasets.
• Designed backend REST APIs consumed by the frontend; integrated AgriBot via OpenRouter.ai external API
— demonstrating third-party API integration, authentication, and async workflows.
