PROJECTSSTATISTICALANALYSISOFAGOOGLE SCHOLARDATASET

• Performed data cleaning, exploratory data analysis, quantitative data analysis (regression, ANOVA) andmixedmodelsfor a step-by-step statistical analysis of a dataset of publications of professors from various US universities

OBJECT RECOGNITIONBY IMAGE PROCESSING TECHNIQUES• Classification of test CD images using features extracted from training set CD images using SURF feature extraction

technique (100% accuracy) ; pre-processing performed like smoothening and sharpening of images increased predictionaccuracy

MACHINE LEARNING• Implemented Adaboost technique inMATLAB to combine various weak learners on a non-linear data set; achieved 90%

accuracy by using Adaboost, compared with other classification techniquesCLOUDMEDIA CENTER

• Developed a prototype cloud service with Python andGoogle Engine which allows client user to download and storemedia files on cloud storage and stream them to a browser at will, without bandwidth or storage requirement

EXPERIENCEENGINEERING INTERN | ON CENTER SOFTWAREJune 2015 - Present | Woodlands, TX

• Implemented a low-priority custom thread pool for uploading of images. The low priority thread pool kicks threads in thebackground increasing the responsiveness of the application user interface. Decreased UI response time by 87.5%

• Updated unit tests for the application and also performed code analysis for the code assembly

SOFTWARE ENGINEERING INTERN | APTTUS CORPORATIONMay 2015 - Aug 2015 | San Mateo, CA

• Developed a debug log analyzer utility that parses Salesforce debug logs for critical execution time information• Utility was developed to be native to a Salesforce org and include custom user settings by using jQuery.• Decreased runtime of previously implemented Perl parsing logic
