Selected Projects
Facial Recognition Door Lock
- Designed an access-control platform integrating facial recognition and RFID authentication with centralized identity/user management and database-backed audit logging for every access event.
- Implemented multi-factor authentication logic and a distributed FastAPI/WebSocket backend for real-time verification and administrative monitoring, separating the recognition pipeline from the request-handling layer for resilience and least-privilege design.
Speech Recognition API (Voice-controlled Chrome)
- Built a computer vision workflow with OpenCV + Pytesseract + Google Speech API to control Chrome with voice commands.
- Continuing development in beta with additional features and test cases.
Brushless DC Motor (Axial Out-runner)
- Designed and built an axial out-runner BLDC motor with CAD parts, magnets, and soldered windings (team of 5).
- Achieved a working design targeted for ~3A current operation.
Deep Learning Prediction Model (LSTM, Time Series)
- Built an LSTM model to predict US economic time series data (team of 4).
- Applied preprocessing + classification techniques; reached ~83% accuracy.
Transfer Learning Classification (SUN397)
- Trained/tested a transfer learning model in TensorFlow/Keras on SUN397.
- Reached ~75% accuracy over 10 epochs (batch size 32).
Azure Data Processing Pipeline
- Built an ETL-style data pipeline using Azure Data Factory to automate ingestion and transformation of structured datasets for downstream analytics.
- Configured Azure DevOps YAML CI/CD pipelines to automate testing and deployment of pipeline changes.
