About Me
Hi, my name’s Akshay and I’m a senior data scientist with 4 years of industrial experience in building solutions for Computer Vision as well as Natural Language problems. Proven success in creating and deploying machine learning solutions.
I am most skilled in: Python, Data Science, Machine Learning and Capturing Nature through lens
Projects
MS Course Project
NEURAL NETWORK FOR CLASSIFICATION OF STARS AND GALAXIES.
- Created a pipeline to download FITS files from Sloan Digital Sky Survey(SDSS) sky observatory and converted files into images (numpy array).
- Developed a star-galaxy classification framework that uses a Neural Network model on these images.
- Trained model using Convolution Neural Network with the help of TensorFlow library.
Google Cloud Platform implementation for text detection and recognition.
- I started this project as a way to learn GCP and it has since grown into a fully end-to-end python project.
- I have learned many skills after this and been I’m very proud of having this in my profile.
Freelance
Few freelacing projects done by me.
- Developed a machine learning based python program to detect mobile manufacturer names using mobile images.
- Applied statistical method for image generation in multiple NFT projects.
- Created a neural network project which can classify currency notes.
- Applied Deep Learning method for Character Recognition in Devanagari Languages.
