Summary

  • Database Design for a Supermarket Member and Transaction System:

- Developed a conceptual schema using an Entity-Relationship (ER) data model to streamline the inventory and checkout process for a member-only supermarket.

- Ensured high performance and data integrity, leveraging SQL for efficient querying and relational database management.

- Collaborated with stakeholders to define key system requirements, resulting in a more user-friendly and scalable system.

  • Designing an Advanced Search System for Publications:

- Developed a sophisticated search engine using Java Database Connectivity (JDBC), facilitating efficient access to academic publications, including ACL papers from 2016-2017.

- Designed a command-line interface, enabling users to easily search and retrieve structured data from a large repository.

- Collaborated with stakeholders to optimize search parameters and database indexing for enhanced performance and user experience.

  • High School Student Academic Performance Dataset Analysis:

- Analyzed a comprehensive dataset of high school students, focusing on demographic details, study habits, parental involvement, extracurricular activities, and academic performance.

- Explored key features to identify patterns affecting student GPA and grade classification.

- Applied statistical analysis and machine learning techniques to derive insights, highlighting how study habits, parental support, and extracurricular activities influence academic success.

- Leveraged the dataset to create robust models for educational research and performance prediction, providing valuable insights for optimizing student outcomes.

  • Image Processing:

- Utilized advanced computational techniques to manipulate and analyze digital images, focusing on applications like medical imaging, surveillance, and autonomous vehicles.
