Amazon Alexa Narratives Team

(July 2021+) - Imagine reading your favourite blog through Alexa. Currently we only support wikipedia. Soon we can support them all. This is what my team and I do (and we occasionaly also fight fires which happen if you operate at the scale that Alexa does) !

(July 2020-Sep 2020) Alexa Multimedia Summer Intern Sometimes Alexa messes up and shows the wrong image. Well why? I created a debugging tool that interacted with all the relevant dependencies to show why an image was selected.

Reduced debugging times from 1-2 hours down to 5 minutes.

Networked with 69 people during my 12 week summer internship!

BlueSky

Started by Jack Dorsey (tech billionaire, CEO of Twitter and Square)

Became a part of this super elite team, after reaching out to them for months. Other team-mates include lead devs at ZCash, IFS, FileCoin, Matrix, XMPP, GUN etc.

A core contributor to the ecosystem doc. Featured in Decrypt magazine.

Discussing how the semantic web can help.

Real Time Twitter Stream Analysis

3rd year Bachelors Dissertation - Got 80%.

Presented at Lex Fridman's (host of The AI Podcast #1 tech podcast of 2019, AI Researcher at MIT) Discord Server.

Clustered over 10,000 tweets within topics like Brexit and COVID19

IDEA: Cluster tweets of a topic into various sub-topics in real-time to analyse the popular domains with respect to the trend.

E.g. find out what are people talking about in terms of Brexit - what are people most concerned about? Banking? NHS? Stock markets? Jobs? Tourism?

Tune.fm

Made it the first and the largest application on this blockchain ecosystem with over 20,000 users.

Scaled the system from 13,000 users to 5.05 million users.

Became the youngest and a very sought after MVP Ambassador for Hedera Hashgraph.

Interviewed at the Gossip about Gossip Podcast by Hedera.

Moodportfolio

2nd-year group project.

Scored about 80%. One of the highest out of 70+ groups.

I created the Emotion Recognition algorithm AI that had 81% accuracy and recognized 8 emotions.

IDEA: Mood Tracking is essential for people with PTSD or behavioural issues. Unfortunately, all such trackers require manual input.

Built a mobile-based website that used AI to detect emotions.

Deep Reinforcement Learning

Created an AI that can play any atari game (Pong, Space Invaders, Pacman) that is available in Open-AI Gym.

AI was a DQN (Deep Q Network) algorithm, based on DeepMind's research paper.

Image Panorama Stitching

Designed a Computer Vision algorithm that stitches ANY number of images(even at different rotations or scale) together to form a panorama.

The algorithm uses

• image keypoint detection using SIFT,
• then matches the keypoints and
• stitches a pair of images using RANSAC and Homography matrices.
• This can be extended to any number of images.

Rohingya Project

This company was later acquired by a swiss company thanks to my research and PoC.

Researched over 70 Decentralized Identity projects to lay out a roadmap for the project

Created a POC combining IPFS (Distributed Web) and Ethereum (blockchain)

IDEA: Rohingya Project aims to provide stateless Rohingyas with a trust-worthy decentralized digital identity through blockchain to tackle the problem of financial exclusion.
