  Adimation

  Jun 2013 - Jul 2014

  Director of Animation

  Adimation is a group of IITians, who are passionate about the animation world. It is a platform that gives motion to your business ideas. Team Adimation is fascinated about how a complex idea of business can be made so easy and interesting, helping a company add business value with a small trick of animation. We are determined to help our clients, to explain their ideas/product/service, in just 60-90 seconds short video. These video are simplistic in nature, focused on the theme and yet amazing to watch. With their amazing graphics and audio, they help to customers understand better and cast a long lasting effect on their memory. This eventually helps the business grow and also increase retention rate on the website and other online platforms, which now, increase the chances of customer end up buying the product. The mantra of “Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication” helped us bring a variety of client list to work with. Our Team had been working with many small and medium sized enterprises like Plancess, Y-Force, Enelek Power, Solus Security Systems and many more. We are also the Animation Partners of Techfest 2014 - Asia's Largest Technical Festival.I am associated with adimation since its inception in Dec, 2012. I am the animation director. I work on making the animation in the videos we produce very simple, engaging and excellent. My work is instrumental in increasing the quality of video and bringing new kind of animation to the portfolio. My role has been challenging as it involves new and different idea generation, for animation and designing to maintain and develop service quality, and also introducing new kind of animation to the videos that we produce for our clients. Adding to it, I am also involved in every step of video production to ensure proper synchronization between every step. Show less

  KTH Innovation

  Nov 2018 - Feb 2019

  Technical Engineer

  It is a collaboration project between KTH Royal Institute of Technology and Karolinska Institute, leading Universities in their respective field in Sweden.Project aims to use DNN and ML to extract useful information from face and body language to study Dementia, a neurological impairment disease. My task is to help develop a software architecture to integrate and synchronise a variety of sensors and input devices to collect useful audio-visual and numeric data points. I also contributed in development of a user (patient and doctor) facing UI to carry out clinical sessions. Different sensor and input devices include IR sensor, Tobii Eye tracker, Video recording devices (Iphone and Webcam), samsung smart watch, Flic Button communicating over WiFi and bluetooth.

  KTH Royal Institute of Technology

  Jan 2019 - Apr 2019

  Autonomous Drone: Course Project

  A semester long project, done in group of three to develop the software stack for a mini Quadcopter that isable to localise itself and autonomously navigate through a constrained known map with Aruco markers. Itcan also classify and locate Swedish Road Signs at ~10Fps. Generated point cloud is clustered and finalposition is computed after removing outliers. System is built on ROS in Python and all processing is done inan of-board computer. My contribution to the project was implementation of -● Kalman Filter algorithm for localisation using aruco markers and some way to know its quality.● A-star based planning algorithm to plan path to pass through certain checkpoints.● exploration algorithm to detect unexplored areas and modify the planned path accordingly.● Helped other team members to debug classification of sign using SVM in openCV and compute itsposition using camera geometry.

  MAN Truck & Bus SE

  Feb 2020 - Sept 2020

  My work is in the field of testing of autonomous driving agents. The testing of AD agents is a hard problem simply because there is a lack of sufficient scenarios. Current methods involve a lot of manual work to create scenarios. Through my thesis, I am to automate the process of the test scenario generation and testing an agent in Carla Simulator. My work involves automating testing of Autonomous vehicles in Carla simulator
