As the founder of an app development company, I have successfully conceptualized, constructed, and nurtured two iOS applications within the productivity and social media sectors, both experiencing rapid growth and widespread adoption. I orchestrated the entire execution process, transforming initial concepts into tangible realities through self-directed learning and leveraging online resources.To ensure cost-effectiveness and mitigate project risks, I diligently researched and implemented cutting-edge technologies and resource optimization strategies. My proactive approach extended to collaborating with prominent platforms such as Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, and Google, strategically targeting potential app users and customers.Furthermore, I achieved a series of successful app deployments on the App Store, marking a testament to my proficiency in overseeing multiple iterations of the application development process.

“Acoustic Analysis of Speech for Different Emotional Conditions in Hindi language”It aims to verify whether emotions are conveyed by certain specific pitch intervals. This is done by carrying out acoustic analysis on recorded speech samples uttered under different emotional conditions. Computational models like Audacity and Praat are adopted to study the pitch patterns
