      Jun 2020 - Sept 2020
      SDE Intern

      • Developed a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) for rural healthcare centres to improve medical services• Designed the database schema in SQL for storing patient medical history and developed the pipeline for symptom-disease classification• Constructed the training dataset for the disease classification machine learning models by scraping websites using Selenium and Pandas• Developed the API for disease classification in AWS, achieving an accuracy of 92% using Random Forest and Naive Bayes classifiers Show less

    • Indy Autonomous Challenge

      Aug 2020 - Jan 2021
      Planning Team Lead

      • Implemented a graph-based planner as part of the Motion Planning Team, adding complex race maneuvers like blocking & overtaking at turns.• Developed the algorithm for deriving the optimal racing line for the controller by modelling system dynamics like tire forces and friction• Reduced the lap time by 7% through an optimized cost function and implemented the use of drafting to improve overtaking maneuvres

    • Centre for Artificial Intelligence, IIT Kharagpur

      Dec 2020 - Apr 2021
      Research Fellow

      • Optimized a simulation software for understanding the effects of various factors on the spread of contagious diseases• Reduced computation time by 44% through CPU-based parallel processing in Python to optimize the use of the available computation• Documented the entire codebase along with the dataflow, reducing the debugging time by 3 hours per week for the development team• Formulated an intervention policy predictor which optimizes the number of affected cases and the loss to the economy during lockdowns Show less

    • ARTPARK

      May 2021 - Jul 2021
      Research Fellow

      The work consisted of setting up a simulation stack for the ARTPARK Robotics Challenge 2021. The challenge requires a robot to demonstrate janitorial tasks that would be typically performed in a washroom.
