A little about me and what I wish to achieve:

I am a Machine Learning Engineer with an innate love for nature, a desire for traveling, and a genuine interest in meeting new people!


I graduated from NIT Durgapur, India from the department of Computer Science and Engineering(B-Tech) in 2020. I am a tech-enthusiast with a firm belief in the power of technology to make a significant positive impact in the world. I love to keep myself updated with all the latest technologies and trends in the software industry.


I enjoy motivating and being part of a productive team and I am equally comfortable with working on my initiative. I have hands-on experience with Machine Learning models in a variety of problem domains using Keras and Tensorflow. I have been using Python data science libraries like pandas, scikit-learn, numpy from time to time in my projects.


My research goal is to uncover the scientific principles which give rise to intelligence through learning, similar to how the human brain learns. I am interested in knowing how some higher form of intelligence(or learning) can be passed from one machine to another. I find Machine Learning interesting because developing our understanding of it entails developing our understanding of the principles that underlie intelligence.


Apart from this, I'm quite fond of reading books from a variety of genres.

My Projects include:

OrcaCNN: Detecting and Classifying Killer Whale from Acoustic Data

feature_project
New

Worked on 14 years of acoustic data of size 1TB in collaboration with AOOS and Axiom Data Science. Developed a deep learning model for detection of orca (or killer whale) achieving 95% accuracy on test set. Achieved 61% accuracy for classification of 20 killer whale pods. Used Google Cloud VM with GPU support for training of models.

Real Time Sentiment Analysis from MemesOpen Source

A flask web-app which allows Sentiment Analysis from the web-browser from memes using the vaderSentiment tool. This web-application is mainly suitable(and made) for memes and texts that appear in social-media bodies. The motivation for this project originates from the fact that there exists no such application which could analyze the sentiment from memes. Though memes being highly contextual and sarcastic, we believe the vaderSentiment tool is of great help in this regard.

Work Experience so far:

Associate Developer IBM (Jan 2021 - Present)

Working on Azure Cloud Microservices as an associate developer in Global Business Services (GBS).

Google Summer of Code Mentor Orcasound (March 2020 - August 2020)

Helped two students build an Active Learning pipeline (OrcaAL) which helps teach machines to detect orca (or killer whale) sounds. Specifically helped in the building, training, and pre-processing of the ML model that goes in the backend.
