● Enhanced the image analysis pipeline by deploying and configuring CVAT for image labelling, incorporating GPU-enabled automatic annotation for improved performance. ● Undertook data collection and labelling specifically for training YOLO and other deep learning models, demonstrating the potential of deep learning in advancing industrial automation for Starbucks. Deployed models into a custom-built flask application, which was presented at MWC 2022.● Developed scripts to streamline the processing of image data, making it suitable for both computer vision and machine learning applications.

Auckland, New Zealand

● Developed scripts for the generation and visualisation of traffic volume screenlines for an agent-based simulation of New Zealand. This effort made it possible to benchmark traffic flow through key geographical areas, which was to be used by the client (New Zealand Transport Agency) to validate the simulation. ● Conducted an in-depth analysis of geospatial data with Python and executed the mapping for future year transport infrastructure leveraging Emme configuration files and QGIS application.● Gained proficiency in agile methodology and DevOps tools such as GitLab, contributing to the efficiency of the model development process.

Auckland, New Zealand

● Operated and performed maintenance on CNC routers to ensure that machines were running smoothly and that parts were machined to specification.● Gained an understanding of the design and manufacturing process involved in the production of custom parts.● Developed basic design and machine programming skills using CAD and CAM software (AutoCAD, Rhino3D).
