Featured Projects

Led a group of 7 members to make an Automatic speech recognition system for the Amharic language. Layed out the MLOps pipeline using CML and DVC which had GPU runners integrated within Pull requests to allow easy training on AWS server. Layed out Deployment pipeline utilizing Github actions, Docker hub, and Azure app service. Built and evaluated RNN architectures for Automatic Speech Recognition.

Leveraged the power of transfer learning to evaluate existing architectures and build accurate models to aid the diagnosis of COVID-19 using chest X-ray images.. Multiclass classification models which distinguish between Bacterial pneumonia, viral pneumonia, Tuberculosis, COVID-19, and healthy images. Generated Saliency maps to help identify areas containing salient information about the disorders. Layed out flask API to expose inference model.

Built sales forecasting time-series models using Facebook's prophet, and Random Forest Regressor to predict incoming sales for Rossmann pharmaceuticals for the next 6 weeks. Built analysis dashboard for existing data using power BI and prediction dashboard using plotly JS.


Data Science practice notebooks including malware detection, Breast cancer detection, A/B testing, Animal recognition and more.
