I am a graduate student at University of Southern California, majoring in Computer science graduating in May 2019. I have previously completed my bachelors in Information Technology.

I have a couple of years of experience as a software engineer at an Ecommerce company Infibeam.com where I was working on rewards and loyalty system and Ecommerce application using Ruby on Rails, HTML, CSS and JavaScript technologies.

My most recent experience at NXP has been developing a data pipeline and Information Supply chain for automation of user manuals. I achieved this goal with about 90-95 % accuracy. Goal of a project was to design a data pipeline for automation of documents from source data and make it available to end users as a published pdf. Also to develop automated data flows and tools to generate documents that will result in efficiency gains.

Along with the experience in industry, I have worked on several academic and non-academic projects where I developed applications using programming languages such as Java and Python, web technologies as HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, Node.js, databases as MySQL, MongoDB and also big data technologies as Hadoop.

One reason, I enjoy this software field is here, every day work challenges me to do better, also it is the opportunity to learn every day and grow.

My real strength is my attention to detail. I pride myself on my reputation for following through and meeting deadlines. When I commit something, I make sure it gets done and on time.

With this experience under my belt, I am looking for an new opportunity to take the next step in my career and I feel I am now ready for a more challenging assignment.

Object Detection using Haar Classifier

Technologies: Python, OpenCV
Develop face detection using Haar Classifiers on static image as well as live video.
Haar classifier is a machine learning based approach , an algorithm created by Paul Viola and Michael Jones. Trained from many positive images (with faces) and negative images (without faces).
OpenCV is the most popular library for computer vision. OpenCV uses machine learning algorithms to search for faces within a picture. Because faces are so complicated, there isn’t one simple test that will tell you if it found a face or not. Instead, there are thousands of small patterns and features that must be matched.
