About Me.

As a trend-conscious Mechanical Engineer, my expertise lies primarily in robotics and machine learning, with over three years of experience, predominantly in computer vision for machine learning. I actively engage with new AI technologies, learning and implementing them to solve real-life problems. My passion lies in enhancing robotics by incorporating artificial intelligence, as I believe it significantly contributes to simplifying human life. Coding is not just a skill for me; it’s a passion. I thrive on complex, math-intensive, and intellectually demanding tasks, which drew me to robotics. As a perpetual learner, I excel in both technical and non-technical domains, known for my quick grasp of concepts. I am dedicated, focused, and driven. My dream work involves research or project-based activities, specifically in machine learning, robotics, or their intersection.

Computer Vision Engineer

Contributed to 3D printer design optimization within an engineering team, focusing on enhancing efficiency, reliability, and print quality. Implemented cutting-edge computer vision in developing a spaghetti detection system to proactively identify and prevent filament-related print failures. Played a key role in launching BTT Pi, empowered by Cloud3dPrint, an innovative solution seamlessly integrating computer vision for remote monitoring and control of 3D printers through cloud connectivity.

Freelancing.

As a freelancer, I’ve undertaken diverse projects ranging from Robotics and control systems to Deep Learning, Computer Vision, and GNNs. My experience extends across various frameworks and languages, including Python, Matlab, C++, TensorFlow, PyTorch, and more.

My Projects.

Final Year Project

Path Planning and Obstacle Avoidance of Holonomic Collaborative Robot using Deep Reinforcement Learning

Median Cubital Vein

As part of my internship, I completed a project where I designed and implemented a deep learning model for Medial Cubital Vein detection using TensorFlow Object Detection and YOLOv5. I successfully developed the entire object detection model from scratch, showcasing my proficiency in Computer Vision.

SCARA 4-DOF Robot

In the SCARA 4-DOF Robot Design project, I independently implemented a 4-DOF SCARA RRPR robot manipulator. I derived kinematic equations using D-H parameters and created a dynamic model in MATLAB for torque and force calculations. Subsequently, I designed trajectory planning and conducted simulations in MATLAB, and the results were verified in the MS ADAMS.

Other Projects

  • Design and modeling of a closed loop PID controller for Yaw control of 1-DOF Tailplane.
  • Design and Fabrication of Rope Braiding Machine
  • CAM Modeling of Fight Robot
  • Line Following Arduino-based Robot
Honors & Awards.
