Welcome to my technical portfolio! My name is Rahul Suresh. I am a graduate student pursuing a Master of Science in Computer Science at Northeastern University, Boston. My specialty lies in Web Development and Cloud Computing. Recently, I have also taken a liking to Android Development.
I completed my bachelor's in Computer Science and Engineering at PES University, Bangalore. As a Core Member of the Google Developer Student Club here, I helped organize several hackathons and technical events for my peers.
I started working as a Software Engineer at General Aeronautics after graduating in 2020, quickly progressing to the role of Web Team Lead. Additionally, I managed and trained interns, helping them achieve their goals and those of the organization. After working for two years, I decided to expand my horizon and pursue a Master's degree in 2022, aiming to develop skills to build secure, scalable, and feature-rich internet systems.
Beyond my technical background, I am a musician and have been one for about ten years. I love to compose music in my free time. I am also an avid traveler and a photographer.

Emotion Recognition from Facial Expressions in Children and Adults using Deep Neural Network
Emotion Recognition from Facial Expressions in Children and Adults using Deep Neural Network
Through this research study, my colleagues and I experimented with various datasets and Deep Learning techniques to identify the critical facial features required for Facial Emotion Recognition (FER). We also drew out the differences in using these techniques for FER in children versus adults. This work was presented at the 5th International ACN Symposium on Intelligent Systems Technologies and Applications (ISTA 2019).
Early diagnosis of Intellectual Disability (ID) in children
Early diagnosis of Intellectual Disability (ID) in children
Intellectual disability (ID) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that causes significant impairments in learning and adaptive functioning. My team and I developed a software tool to aid in the early diagnosis of ID based on extensive literature reviews, on-field data collection, and collaboration with domain experts. In addition, we worked with psychiatrists at Victoria Hospital Bangalore to conduct clinical trials and present the product's viability at various medical and technical conferences.
Deep Learning based Audio Tagging using Image Processing
Deep Learning based Audio Tagging using Image Processing
As a part of the final-year project for my bachelor's degree, I led our 4-student team in researching general-purpose Audio Tagging and its applications. We used diverse audio datasets in this study, training our models on urban sounds, animal sounds, etc. We also experimented with various audio pre-processing and data augmentation techniques to improve the efficiency of the multi-label classification task. Finally, we customized multiple Convolution Neural Network (CNN) architectures such as MobileNet and VGGNet and compared their results in performing content-based recognition of real-time sounds.
IoT-enabled Hydroponics Farm
IoT-enabled Hydroponics Farm
Conducting extensive research on the viability/feasibility of an IoT-enabled smart-farm, my team and I explored farming practices through Hydroponics and LED growth lights. We further presented the research project at several hackathons nationwide. Finally, we published our work in the International Journal of Scientific Research in Science and Technology 2018.
