Part Time Lecturer Rutgers University September 2017 – Present

Working as a part time lecturer for CS 110: Introduction to Computer Science and Applications. Responsible for recitations, lab
support and progress assessment of over 40 undergraduate students.
Software Developer Rutgers University June 2017 – September 2017
Worked at Department of Computer Science on a cooperative project with researchers from Aarhus University, Denmark.
Extracted named entities from various newspaper articles (English, Dutch and Danish) and converted articles to sets. Used
graph exploration algorithms to study the evolution of history using newspapers by looking at interesting graph structures like
articulation points and bipartite graphs. Currently part of the project in support/advisory role.
(Python, MongoDB, C++, Flask, Git, Pandas, NLTK, Amazon EC2)
Academic Associate Endeavor Careers June 2015 – December 2016
Taught Advanced Mathematics to undergraduate students numbering over 50. Also responsible for grading and mentoring.

Data Analysis on Yelp Data (Rating Prediction, Discerning Social and Cultural trends) Spark Notebook| Scala | Python
Conducted an extensive amount of data exploration on a rich Yelp dataset (over 4 GB text data and 9GB images) for Yelp Dataset
Challenge. Predicted user ratings from reviews using Naive Bayes and Perceptron.
Fast Trajectory Re-planning C++
Implemented Forward A*, Backward A* and Adaptive A* for agent navigation in grid-world of different sizes and with obstacles.
Face and Handwritten Digit recognition Python
Implemented Perceptron, MIRA and Naïve Bayes classifiers to recognize and identify digits and human faces from datasets.
Distributed Resource Allocation in Small Cell Network (Novel Scheme) MATLAB 2013 | Simulink
Devised a resource allocation scheme for small cell networks and tested it in MATLAB 2013 environment. Algorithm performs
better than fixed allocation and partial techniques in following two parameters:
1. Doesn’t discriminate based on the amount of frequency resources demanded and resources follow users.
2. Offers data rates closer to the demanded rates at similar amount of bandwidth utilization (for data rates above 1.4 Mbps).
Quad Copter UAV for Surveillance and Outdoor Navigation Arduino – C++
Designed a control system for collision avoidance and autonomous navigation of the Quadrotor. Worked on PixHawk Flight
Controller – PID Tuning and GoPro Hero camera – continual frame capture and analysis. Used Horn-Schunck for Real Time
Obstacle Avoidance by determining optical flow.
