About

Hi There! I'm a Junior Machine Learning Engineer at Omdena and a recent NYU Grad. I love to learn new things and apply my knowledge to solve real-world problems. I have built web apps (Flask), GUI (java), Games (Unity C#) and implemented Deep Learning Models (Pytorch). Though I have worked with multiple languages, Python & C++ are my favorite.

My main interest lies in Machine Learning, specifically Deep Learning and I spent most of my free time taking MOOCS & working on DL projects. Mostly I learn from implementing things, so most of my projects involve implementations of Research Papers and usable products from them.

As for my other hobbies I love to write fictional stories and play games. Fortunately, the thing that I enjoy the most is programming which happens to be my job so most of the time you'll find me coding. I'm not a very outgoing person and enjoy personal time with close friends and family. And I love animated movies, especially from Studio Ghibli.

Projects

StatusDV

A flask webapp that summarizes all of your words through a colorful personalized word cloud. Summarize anyone's tweets or any text by generating a customizable wordcloud

Online Path Finding

A Team project to develop, design, implement and analyze two new path finding algorithms based on Soft Subdivision Search algorithm

Image Generator

Pytorch Implementation of DCGAN as a python package. Easily train on any image datasets and generate new images. Some pertained models are available for test

Style Transfer

Transfer style of any image to any content image using DNN & Gram Matrix. Feature extraction is done using VGG19

Mario DQN Agent

Implementation of DQN in Pytorch to train + play Mario Super Bros. Easily change model structures and reward functions to understand agent behavior.

Algo Analysis

Create and design a map, consisted of a goal, a starting point and various obstacles, and then visually analyze different algorithms as they try to find the best path from source to goal.
