• Developed and implemented process improvements to streamline inventory management and reduce waste.
• Collaborated with cross-functional teams to improve communication and enhance overall efficiency in the cold chain department.

Prediction of Turbine Running Failures

Created and curated datasets from sensor log files of turbines, utilizing Pandas data frame in Python, and handled missing values using Linear Interpolation. Successfully employed machine learning techniques, specifically Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP), to accurately predict turbine failures up to 60 minutes in advance, achieving over 90% accuracy.

ML and DL Projects

Successfully completed several Machine Learning and Deep Learning projects, including predicting suicide cases using linear regression and MLP, reading and predicting digits from the MNIST dataset, and implementing image recognition models such as AlexNet and VGG16.

Unity Projects

Designed a city simulator in Unity, adding buildings, roads, and parks with textures. Simulated the sun for day and night change. Designed a 3D model of Ålesund using Mapbox in UNITY. Simulated the movement of the sun for the day and night animation, created a graphical user interface to insert and delete light devices, and computed a heatmap to encode light variation.

Forecasting Covid Cases

Forecasted the data on total cases and total deaths due to covid on time series using sklearn-linear model regression and visualize it on a platform using dash and plotly.

Webpage

Developed an interactive web page utilizing JavaScript, HTML, and CSS for a boat rental business concept. Implemented features such as input fields, map integration, image slide shows, and interactive links to enhance user experience.

Design and Fabrication of Rice Paddy Planter

Designed and fabricated a rice paddy planter as a final-year project in my bachelor’s program using SolidWorks. Created the mechanism of the planter using stress and strain-based mathematical models. Conducted structural and vibrational analyses of its components to ensure their stability and durability.
