Projects
ChatGPT Assistant and Cultural Ambassador Prototype
How can WWT use ChatGPT as an asset to their employees, customers, and processes? We decided to ideate a ChatGPT-based Cultural Ambassador and Assistant. If implemented, the chat bot called Pi would be hosted in an Azure OpenAI instance. We would gather data to fine tune model as a multi-lingual cultural ambassador for internal corporate use. Our project was the Prompt Winner for the Intern Capstone Competition in 2023.
Responsibilities
Met with Software Engineer Managers and Human Resources Leaders to ideate and design the Personas, Planned Features, and Protoype of Pi the People Bot Assistant.
Graduate Admissions Regression Models
Regression model to predict how likely an Indian student is admitted to a graduate school
Responsibilities
Built 2 different regression models and compared their performance using cross-validation regression searches for relationships among variables
Artwork Recommender
Content Based Filtering for the "Best Artworks of All Time", Python program where you input an artwork image and the program will output similar looking images.
Responsibilities
Pre-trained ResNet50 model for feature extraction with GPU acceleration and data augmentation
Pathfinding Research Project
Node based pathfinding project comparing multiple popular machine learning pathfinding algorithms on a random map for best walking/driving paths
Responsibilities
Worked on implementing algorithms and solving bugs with a team
UNICEF Human-Robot Interaction Research
Design and study of social robots for diverse user populations with UNICEF
Responsibilities
Conducted research on the impact of robot design on children’s perceptions, rights, and privacy. Executed data collection, collaboration, study, content design, and data analysis
Employee Payroll Application Prototype
Ideated redesign of employee payroll application by implementing enhancements and UX prototype.
Responsibilities
Presented to team on possible future enhancement of employee payroll application using newer technologies and dashboard one-stop-shop design.
World Wide Technology Learning Paths Designs
Ideated Learning Paths ideas and inital plans
Responsibilities
Brainstormed and wireframed learning path courses, later releasing to thousands of customers and employees.
Java Projects: Routing Wires Algorithms and DNA Alignment Algorithms
Various small projects from Advanced Data Structures and Algorithms course.
Responsibilities
My algorithm works well with placing the shortest distance goals first before the longer distance goals, which eliminates wires blocking other wires on the board. This makes it so that all wires will be placed with respect to the board.
Employee Engagement Dashboard Prototype
Enhanced Onboarding and Employee Engagement Dashboard design as a Figma prototype, Overall Winner for Intern Capstone Competition
Responsibilities
Designed Dashboard Prototype for Three Month Onboarding Plan and Employee Engagement including company wide discussions and polls, to-do plans for new hires and existing required training.
