Experience
Research Analyst Intern February 2024 – May 2024
SAC, ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) | Certificate Ahmedabad, Gujarat
• Analyzed sea level rise predictions up to the year 2100 from various international space institutes, comparing them
with actual satellite data. Utilized xarray to compute around 80 datasets, each containing 10 million data points.
• Developed machine learning models using regression analysis and random forest in scikit-learn and TensorFlow to
predict global mean sea level rise.
• Created detailed projection reports using data visualization tools like matplotlib and geoplotlib.
Data Science Intern June 2023 – August 2023
ReNew | Certificate Gurgaon, Haryana
• Created a soiling loss simulation algorithm that increased power efficiency by 20% while reducing the cleaning costs
of solar panels.
• Achieved this result by working on Azure Databricks using Python libraries such as PySpark and Pandas.
• Worked on approximately 40 datasets, each containing 50,000 data points, while collaborating with a team of 15.
Projects
IPL Match Prediction | Git
• Developed a machine learning model using Decision Trees in scikit-learn and TensorFlow to predict scores and the
winner of an IPL match.
• Used Pandas to preprocess the data for model training and testing.
• Created a GUI with ipywidgets for the prediction model, allowing users to enter teams and see results. Also
visualized model losses with matplotlib.
Intrusion Detection System | Git
• Developed an intrusion detection system that captures a live camera feed and detects any activity through
background subtraction and contour detection using OpenCV.
• Automatically sends an SMS alert to the user using Twilio API when an intrusion is detected.
URL Shortening Web App | Git
• Developed a web app to shorten URLs and implemented a REST API for interaction.
• Utilized SQLite for database management and Uvicorn for ASGI server implementation.
