EXPERIENCE

Research Co-Coordinator | The Sound of AI OSR, Remote | Dec 2020 - Present

Initiated the application of transformers in automatic speech to text module of NeuralNet music synthesizer which is an open-source research project with team of voluntary researchers and software professionals around the world, achieved decrease in error rates of output text from model by 20% by fine tuning, applying data augmentation and adding decoding algorithms to model output. - Python | Pytorch | HuggingFace Transformers | Async programming | Git | librosa

Academic Research | Kumaun University, Nainital | Jan 2020 - Nov 2020

Created a cheap alert system for monkey theft detection, accomplished low error rates by using state of art detection algorithms at that time, increased detection fps from 1 to 24 by converting trained model to tensorflow lite which enabled the system to be deployed in a raspberry pi, also provided software solution for previously installed ip cameras - Python | Keras | TensorFlow | OpenCV | Multithreading | YOLO | SSD | Git | Web Scraping | Raspberry PI | TF Object Detection API

The Gamer Studio | Co-Founder and Developer, Nainital | Apr 2017 - Oct 2019
