School projects

Capstone Project: Face Recognition,

      Role: AI developer

  • In this project, I was responsible for developing a robust face recognition system using deep learning techniques. The goal was to create a solution capable of accurately identifying and verifying individuals in real-time from video feeds and images.
  • Responsibilities included data collection, model training with CNNs, and integration into existing applications. I conducted extensive testing to optimize performance, achieving over 95% accuracy. The project enhanced security and user experience in various applications.

Research Project: Breast Cancer Detection,

  • In this project, I was responsible for developing an AI-based breast cancer detection system using deep learning techniques. The objective was to create a model capable of accurately identifying potential cancerous tissues from mammogram images, aiding early diagnosis and improving patient outcomes.
  • My responsibilities included collecting and preprocessing medical imaging data, designing and training convolutional neural networks (CNNs), and optimizing the model's performance to minimize false positives and false negatives. I integrated the system into healthcare applications for real-time screening, achieving over 90% accuracy. The project contributed to enhanced diagnostic capabilities and supported medical professionals in making timely decisions.

COURSE WORK

Data Engineering

  • Through the Data Engineering coursework, I acquired a solid foundation in designing and building scalable data pipelines and architectures. I gained hands-on experience with tools like SQL, Hadoop, and Spark to process and manage large datasets efficiently. I developed strong skills in implementing ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) processes and data warehousing techniques to ensure data reliability and accessibility.
  • Additionally, I learned to work with cloud-based data infrastructures and real-time data streaming technologies, optimizing workflows for high-performance data processing. This coursework enhanced my ability to handle complex data engineering challenges in real-world scenarios.

Information Visualization

  • Through the Information Visualization coursework, I gained expertise in transforming complex datasets into clear, interactive visual representations. I developed proficiency in using tools like Tableau, D3.js, and Python libraries (Matplotlib, Seaborn) to create meaningful and intuitive visualizations. I learned the principles of effective data storytelling, focusing on clarity, aesthetics, and audience engagement.
  • Additionally, I acquired skills in handling large datasets, creating dashboards, and applying visualization techniques to support data-driven decision-making. This coursework enhanced my ability to communicate insights through visuals, making complex information accessible to diverse stakeholders.

Statistical Computing

  • In the Statistical Computing course, I developed a deep understanding of statistical methods and their practical application in data analysis. I worked extensively with programming languages like R and Python, applying libraries such as NumPy, SciPy, and R’s statistical packages to explore and manipulate data.
  • The course emphasized key concepts such as hypothesis testing, regression models, and probability distributions, allowing me to solve complex data problems. I also became proficient in automating statistical workflows and visualizing results, equipping me with the skills to interpret data insights effectively and support data-driven decision-making.

Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining

  • In the Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining course, I gained expertise in extracting valuable insights from large and complex datasets. I learned to apply various data mining techniques such as classification, clustering, association rule mining, and anomaly detection using tools like Python (Scikit-learn), R, and Weka.
  • The course focused on the entire knowledge discovery process, including data preprocessing, pattern recognition, and model evaluation. I also acquired practical experience in working with real-world datasets to uncover hidden patterns and trends, enhancing my ability to make data-driven predictions and decisions. This course sharpened my problem-solving skills by combining theory with hands-on projects.
