Ex- SDE Intern at The Internet Folks
Actively looking for new opportunities!
Second Prize in ACM ASSETS 2019 Student Research Competition!
• Built an affordable glove-based keyboard to enable blind users to type accurately into computers using Arduino.
• Participants achieve entry rates of up to 6.0 Words per minute and have an average Character Error Rate of 3.58% with up to 100 minutes of practice, which is more accurate than all other input mechanisms reviewed in the study.
Note: I have unfortunately made a typo in my camera-ready submission, which I cannot fix in the online document. Reference #9 in the paper is: [9] Deep Speech: Scaling up end-to-end speech recognition Awi Hannun et al. Please find the corrected document in 'Files submitted to ASSETS'. Sorry for the issue!

A Patent pending application I've filed, which proposes a new method of detecting touch, utilizing the optical sensing properties and displays element arrangement properties of special displays made up of OLEDs or LEDs. I have studied various display mechanisms and light detection mechanisms to arrive at this new implementation. I have also studied various touchscreen technologies and analyzed their behavior, practically and theoretically. This invention can make the touchscreen more adjustable to user preferences. It also allows the system to detect interactions independent of the electrical nature of the interacting devices, which has not been possible before with existing capacitive touchscreen technology. This implementation enables the system to work despite any damage to the cover screen, which would have otherwise affected the touch detection abilities of existing mechanisms.

This is a project I worked on with Shivam Saboo And Chinmay Rane, students at IIIT Vadodara and IIIT Gwalior.
We love Table Tennis so this is something we're building to help make TT a fun game to learn
Our project identifies the minute details which differentiate between different players using IMU sensors to track minute differences in Accelerometer And Gyroscope readings caused by variations in Wrist movement.
This project would enable learners of sports such as Table tennis to learn methods to imitate their favorite players and play certain shots in a similar style to the professionals!
Generated a dataset for good and bad complex table tennis shots and then used Catboost classifier in sklearn to attain an 81% accurate classifier which can help beginners learn complex shots such as ’looping forehand’.
