Projects
Card Classifier using a Pre-trained Model
Implemented an end-to-end card classification system by leveraging transfer
learning with a pre-trained PyTorch model.
Engineered a data pipeline to process the Kaggle Card image dataset,
which included splitting the data into training, validation, and test sets and applying
crucial image transformations and augmentations with
torchvision.Fine-tuned the model and implemented a python script capable of loading the fine-tuned model to accurately classify card images.
Insider Threat Detection System
To combat the growing risk of internal data breaches, this dynamic web application was built using a Flask backend to proactively identify insider threats. The system analyzes user activity logs, such as login times, off-hour access, and browser usage, etc. with a pre-trained machine learning model. It applies both the Decision Tree and Random Forest algorithms to classify behavior, presenting the results through a user-friendly interface to effectively flag potential risks.
Document Scanner and OCR App
Developed a cross-platform mobile document scanner using Flutter that performs real-time Optical Character Recognition (OCR). The application integrates Google's ML Kit Text Recognition package to create a seamless user experience where the camera opens on launch, allowing for instant capture of any image containing text. The system then processes the image on-device to accurately extract and display the recognized text.
Forex Converter App
Designed and Developed a cross-platform currency converter using Flutter that provides up-to-the-minute exchange rates by integrating a live REST API. The app’s standout feature is its unique multi-currency comparison view, allowing users to seamlessly track a single base currency against a list of several others simultaneously. The entire application was designed with a strong focus on a clean and intuitive UI/UX to ensure a frictionless and user-friendly conversion experience.
Image Background Remover App
Developed a streamlined, cross-platform mobile application using Flutter designed for instant image background removal. The app features a simple interface for users to upload an image, which is then processed through a powerful third-party REST API for background segmentation. This integration provides a fast and automated solution, delivering a high-quality image with a transparent background back to the user in seconds.
Event Management App
Developed a full-featured, cross-platform event management application using Flutter and Appwrite as the backend-as-a-service (BaaS). The app enables users to create new events, browse and register for existing ones, and invite others to participate. This project demonstrates proficiency in building interactive, multi-user applications with secure backend integration for data management and user authentication.
Kharcha App
Created a personal expense tracking application named 'Kharcha' using Flutter and Sqflite for local data persistence. The app allows users to log their daily transactions and provides full CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) functionality. To offer clear financial insights, it features a dynamic chart that visualizes spending patterns over the last seven days, showcasing skills in both on-device database management and data visualization.
Music App
Built a feature-rich, offline music player using Flutter, designed to access and play audio files directly from the user's device storage. The application handles device permissions, automatically scans for audio files to create a complete library, and includes a 'favorites' feature for personalized playlists. This demonstrates skills in media playback, file system interaction, and state management.
Note App
Developed a robust note-taking and task management application using Flutter and the Bloc pattern for predictable state management. The app leverages an Sqflite database for efficient local storage of notes and to-do items. It features a clean interface with a grid layout for at-a-glance note previews, showcasing the ability to build scalable and well-architected mobile applications.
