As part of a team of 6, I contributed to the development of a scalable POS system for Panda Express, leveraging Python, React, and PostgreSQL with a cloud-hosted AWS database. The system featured real-time updates across Manager, Cashier, and Kitchen views, enabling seamless order processing and inventory management. I implemented WebSocket-based real-time updates, which reduced network usage by 60% and improved responsiveness by 80%, replacing inefficient polling methods. Throughout the project, we followed Agile practices, conducting weekly sprints and daily standups to ensure continuous improvement and delivery. The project repository is currently private; however, the final PowerPoint presentation is available via the following OneDrive link:

SoundBytes is an AI-driven platform designed to quickly and accurately summarize news articles and convert them into easy-to-understand audio clips. The project utilizes ChatGPT to extract relevant information and generate summaries, which are then transformed into audio through Microsoft Azure's Cognitive Services. Built using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Python with Flask, our team successfully navigated challenges related to API limitations and article formatting to create a dynamic, functional website.

This project is developed as part of a paper accepted for EnergyVis at VIS 2024, a leading workshop on energy data visualization. Similar Day Analytics utilizes the Frobenius Norm to identify days with comparable weather patterns. The project processes spatiotemporal data, such as temperature and wind speed, creating matrices to represent daily weather characteristics. The Frobenius Norm is then employed to calculate distances between these matrices, enabling the identification of similar days and enhancing meteorological analysis. The project is implemented in Python and incorporates matrix normalization along with k-nearest neighbors for accurate pattern matching.

Led a team at a Texas A&M Datathon to develop a Convolutional Neural Network for classifying hand-drawn images into 15 major categories in real-time, achieving a top 5 placement and a 55% validation accuracy. Post-competition, independently redesigned the model architecture and trained it on a selected subset of the Google Quick, Draw! dataset, boosting validation accuracy to 86%.

The Java-SQL Management System was created to assist businesses in managing their operations efficiently by providing a robust system to handle their data needs. The idea behind the project is to offer a practical, easy-to-use application for small to medium-sized enterprises that require reliable data management but may not have the resources for expensive, complex systems. By integrating Java with MySQL, the system provides a cost-effective solution that can be customized and expanded as the business grows.
