Software Engineer I,

LexisNexis, Raleigh, NC

​

  • I work with an amazing group of people and work on a great software called InterAction. InterAction (IA) is basically a CRM software specialized for the legal world of law firms, students, and anyone related to the judicial system. 

  • I get to work with different people from all over like Product managers to narrow down the requirements, UX/UI to bring their vision to life and QA to make sure that the code I write is up to the standards. We work with the UI/UX, Product Managers, and QA to create a seamless experience for InterAction users.

  • We at IA work in an agile, cross-functional team in a sprint lifecycle. 

  • I have gained experience in software development, with a focus on full-stack development. (Although I do enjoy the frontend more ;) )

  • I also have Exposure/experience with Angular, .Net, C#, JavaScript/Typescript, Handlebars, Web API, ASP.NET, CSS, HTML

  • I fix bugs that come from PM, and customers and code new functionalities for IA. 

 

What does this Experience show?

I am an ever-learner and love to help others while growing my own skillset and knowledgebase

Student Software Developer,

NC State University - Outer Banks Blue Realty

​

  • Worked with the OBBR through NC State's senior design class on their laundry facility software.

  • Made 9 changes (which we called enhancements) to the existing software to reduce human error. 9 enhancements were divided into 5 iterations, each iteration being 2 weeks long. 

  • The team planned milestones and mini-goals and at the end of each iteration, we did cypress tests and JUnit tests (automated testing) to make sure that the new iteration didn't break any other code.

  • The Technologies used in this were: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, SQL, Angular, TypeScript & Python.

​

*I was one of the student presenters, representing my group and our work in front of the computer science department at the Posters & Pies event at the end of the semester.

* Out of 3 project update presentations, I presented our team's project update 2 times with other team members

​

What does this Experience show?

I am good at problem-solving. Since I came up with multiple algorithms utilizing my problem-solving skills. I help team members and ask for help whenever I feel stuck. I have good public speaking and communication skills.

Computer Vision Intern,

Indian Space Research Organization - Space Application Center

​

  • ISRO - SAC is the Indian government's space agency for exploration and defense.

  • I was assigned the task to use an algorithm to identify airplanes from images.

  • The algorithm I used was YOLO v5 on the Rareplanes dataset. YOLO stands for (You Only Look Once) and is a deep neural network-based application algorithm.

  • The languages & Technologies used were: Python, C, Tensorflow, etc.

​

*Here's my final report for that training and here's how YOLO works

 

What does this Experience show?

I don't run away from learning new things/concepts and keeping up with the current technologies.

Business Intelligence Analyst Intern,

ANDRITZ, Youngsville, NC

​

  • Created & designed interactive visual (data visualization) reports based on sales/cost data
    of different types of products to predict future trends to eventually
    make business decisions using Power BI.

  • This was at the intersection of data visualization and data analysis

 

What does this Experience show?

I am technical and creative.  I can find ways to portray or convey information in an interesting manner

Asset Control Clerk,

NCSU - Institute of Transportation Research & Education (ITRE)

​

  • Designed a workflow to set up a checkout approval process and keep all the information about requests in one place. 

  • Used Excel or google sheets and google apps to create a workflow where the user can send an email from a button in the google sheets notifying the requester of their request decision and any notes. 

  • By clicking the button on the google sheets tab, the columns get auto-filled with all the relevant details. (Used Google Apps for this)

  • Kept track of inventory in ITRE's possession.

​

What does this Experience show?

Helping people and making things easy and manageable is a good motivator for me to do my best work. Work that drives impact or change is exciting for me.

Instructional Technology Support,

NCSU - Distance Education & Learning Technology Applications (DELTA)

​

  • Worked as Moodle support for the teaching staff.

  • Moodle is the course management website that is used by professors to keep track of student progress, upload learning material, and assign homework. 

Research Assistant,

NCSU - College of Education

​

  • Assisted a professor from the college of education in conducting easy science activities/projects at a local all-girls middle school.

  • This was an initiative to spark interest in STEM fields among girls early on so that they pursue careers in STEM fields in college.

A few Interesting
Academic Projects..

Class: Intro to Artificial Intelligence (AI)

I. Wumpus World

  • Given a copy of the Wumpus Lite platform (the Wumpus World game). I implemented 4 different agent types

    • Model-based Reflex

    • Goal-based Reflex.

    • Utility.

    • Learning

  • and tested them in the game (as a computer player)

II. Disease Spread

  • Given a file that represents a social network of individuals who are likely transmitters for a disease.

  • They have a 'distance' value for each 'relationship' or edge indicating how close they are to one another.

  • Using Java, I implemented a code that loads the file and implements DFS, BFS, and Uniform Cost, and A* to find the shortest path between two individuals.

  • This could be used to find likely transmitters of disease.

III. N-Queens

  • Implemented a tool to identify possible solutions to an arbitrary version of the n-queens problem.

  • The goal is to determine where queens can be placed on an n ∗ n chessboard such that no two queens threaten the other and that we have the maximum number of possible queens in place on the board.

Class: Automated Learning and Data Analysis (ALDA)

I. Netflix Recommendation System

  • Used clustering to group users with similar tastes in content.

  • Members in the same group were recommended content that other members of this 'cluster' have watched and liked

Class: Internet of Things (IOT)

I. Detect Open/Close Door Actions

  • In this project, we attached a sensor to the door, took around 100 readings of the sensor.

  • Trained the data. ('X' reading means the door is 'Y' % open)

  • Based on the percentage of the reading print if the door is 'Open' or 'Close'.

II. Automated Parking System

  • We created a mini model of an automated parking lot. Where each 'lot' would have a 'street light' (LEDs) above it. The door to the parking lots opens only when a car is detected (by the proximity sensor) AND there is space in the parking lot.

  • As soon as a car approaches the gate to the parking space. The first open lot is assigned to it and is updated on a webpage indicating that parking #X is occupied. 

  • Each lot has a proximity sensor above it that constantly senses the presence of a car parked and sends the data to the webpage. o, when a car leaves, the space is marked 'Open' or 'Unoccupied' again which turns the LED above it on to signal that the space is open to any approaching 'driver'.

  • This is how the automated parking system worked.
