Building/Querying a Multimedia Database
November 1, 2015 – December 1, 2015
In this project, we were required to build a multimedia database that is capable of indexing video-audio content based different semantic characteristics. Semantics for which we analyzed different video files to extract descriptors include motion in video, audio intensities and color changes. We then used these descriptors to perform matching on the query videos. The result of the project was interesting because the descriptors talked about the nature of the video rather than the video itself thus categorizing the query videos into different categories like interview or sports etc. which are very different by their nature like motion changes color changes etc..
Kernel Project - Virtual Memory

Implemented Weenix's Virtual Memory which included, - Creation of kernel and user virtual memory areas. - Implementing the Page fault handler - Implementing Memory objects - Anonymous and Shadow object(to handle COPY ON WRITE logic) - Handling reference counts of pages referenced by the memory objects.
PubMed literature mining for genes and brain structures
March 1, 2015 – May 1, 2015
In the era of ‘connectome’, knowledge is accumulated about the impact of genetics on brain connections,which is believed to be the missing layer associating genetic variations with mental disorders and neuro degeneration diseases. However, only part of this knowledge is manually collected and stored in databases, and the rest of them is still under the ocean of literature. To scale up the process of mining the association information between brain structures and genes, we developed a brain structure named entity recognizer here using the NLP techniques, achieving F-score as 79.5% for development dataset, and 65% for testing datasetannotated by ourselves. At same time, we finished a preliminary round of the actual mining throughabout 40,000 neuroscience related scientific journal articles from PubMed open access database. To achieve this we invented the dynamic Jaccard score calculation to assign a Jaccard string matching score to each and every word in the document to help us find the brain structures regions specified.
Error detection and correction: Dealing with homophone confusion
March 1, 2015 – March 1, 2015
In this project I have developed multiple approaches for detecting and correcting homophone errors found in English sentences. - Used the Web N-Gram Microsoft service to find the best possible combination possible for the Homophonic words in the sentence. - Used the Stanford NLP to build PCFG trees for different combinations of sentences possible for the Homophonic words in the sentence.
Kernel Project - Virtual File System
March 1, 2015 – April 1, 2015
Implemented Weenix's Virtual File System which included, - Creation of File System tables for each process - Conversion of path name to vnode - Handling the reference count of each vnode - Handling system calls in a Polymorphic manner to different file systems

Developed an emulation of a Traffic Shaper which transmits packets controlled by token bucket filter using multi-threading in C. Regulated graceful termination of the emulation on an interrupt by the user using POSIX signal handling.
HandTunes@HackSC-2014
November 1, 2014 – November 1, 2014
Developed an Android application interfacing with Myo armband device for simulating a Music Conductor, the music was played on the Android device for every gesture of hand. The applicaion was much appreciated by various other teams at the event.
Riversi Game AI Agent
October 1, 2014 – November 1, 2014

Space Shuttle Simulation
February 1, 2012 – July 1, 2012
Built a Space Shuttle Simulator using OpenGL as the graphics package and C++ as the programming tool. The simulator lets you traverse around the solar system with the space shuttle. All the planets have been given a textured look which gives us the realistic look of the outer space and sound effects add up to this. I was involved in texturing the images onto the spheres created in the 3D space and placing the planets in their realistic positions with respect to time.

Cultural Fit Analysis
The candidate's career progression from R&D Software Engineer to Senior Manager of Engineering in ML/AI demonstrates ambition and a commitment to growth. The variety of projects, from kernel development to multimedia databases and NLP, indicates a broad technical curiosity. However, the target role of 'Data Analyst' is a significant shift from their recent senior ML/AI engineering and management roles. While the underlying data analysis skills are present, the focus on management and advanced ML might suggest a mismatch with a pure analyst role, potentially leading to overqualification or a desire for more strategic/technical work than typical for a Data Analyst.
Soft Skills & Operational Fit
The candidate's project descriptions indicate a proactive approach to problem-solving and innovation, particularly in developing novel techniques and architectures. Experience in managing engineering teams suggests leadership and organizational skills. The diverse project portfolio, including kernel development and AI agents, points to a strong analytical mindset and adaptability.
