At Johnson & Johnson, I lead the effort to build a deep learning and computer vision based defect detection system that identifies and highlights defects and impurities present in products produced in J&J manufacturing plants to prevent defective products from reaching consumers.As part of the defect detection system, I built unsupervised visual anomaly.

At Safeo, I lead the effort to build a computer vision based platform that helps companies get insights about employee and customer safety at their workplaces.Mask detection (face detection and object detection), Social Distancing Monitor (object detection and depth estimation from a single image), and a state of the art face recognition based attendance.

At SIO, I worked with Marine Biologists to build a vision system that continuously monitors the ocean for poisonous algae presence and alerts the concerned authorities when there are lots of them.I worked with the biologists to curate the dataset of poisonous and benign algae images. I also built the neural net classifier that takes in underwater images of.

Locbit is an IOT company that aims to optimize energy consumption in buildings. At Locbit, I built machine learning models that predict the client buildings’ energy usage for any given day.At Locbit, I also worked on another initiative whose goal was to drive all of the energy-usage optimizations in the client buildings through a reinforcement learning.
