- Responsible for designing and implementing automated container inspection solutions.- Using Tensorflow and PyTorch, classification and object detection models are trained to identify damages and their sizes. - Designed dashboards and automated reports to track the models’ performance and results in production.- Designed and implemented an AWS-cloud pipeline to deploy new models and re-train them.- Using Flask, designed a web tool to test models in production. Using Redis, incoming inference requests are efficiently scaled. Using automated emails & slack-bots, results are reported to the team.- Independently designed and implemented AI-assisted annotation tool to speed up the process by guiding annotators. - Independently designed and implemented ways to process data for better models by evaluating the quality of data, removing duplicates, finding annotation mistakes, identifying unique cases where model fails.

- Developed an intelligent system (medical software) to improve disease diagnosis and reduce the workload on pathologists and the bias among them.- Presented a spatial clustering algorithm with a graph-based approach; it works without requiring any prior information and parameter from users.- Proposed a deep learning method that can be trained with a limited/weak labeled dataset where only the centroid pixel of the annotation is provided; it helps to significantly reduce the workloads on pathologists for labeling.- Introduced a new tool for teaching, evaluation of trainees and quality assurance of surgical pathology using the example of breast cancer grading to compare the level of agreement between histopathologists.- Published a breast dataset to promote research in computer-aided diagnosis for breast cancer.- TA in Programming Language Python, Programming Language Java, Database Management Systems, Fundamentals of Social Network Analysis and Data Mining.
