Key Projects
• IoT-based Smart Classroom Environment:
Our project focused on two of the most pressing issues—attendance and unsolicited energy consumption. Our goal
was to overhaul the manual system, without compromising its integrity. We developed a portable RFID finger-print
scanner that uses capacitance to gauge the depth of the finger and collect the fingerprint that must be activated by
the professor, thereby making our system fail proof.
• Tweet Scraping and Sentiment Analysis Using Python, Kafka & MongoDB:
Developed a system designed to scrape Twitter tweets based on user-defined keywords and analyze the sentiment
around specific topics. This project was aimed to gather both historical and live-feed tweets within a defined time
range, and it was implemented using Python, Kafka, and MongoDB followed by subsequent sentiment analysis
• Extensive Functional Banking System on both MSSQL and MySQL:
Built the system from scratch, immersing myself in the intricacies of banking operations and understanding the core
processes that needed to be represented in the system. This involved designing and structuring various database
tables, defining columns, and establishing the relationships between different entities within the system. I
meticulously charted out these components to ensure the system’s functionality and data integrity.
• Knowledge Repository Website using PHP:
This project aimed to create a centralized platform where users could store, access, and manage information on
various topics. I was responsible for designing and developing the backend of the system, ensuring that it could
handle user data securely and efficiently.
• 16 bit shift adder and 16 bit barrel shifter using Verilog:
Built 16 bit shift adder and 16 bit barrel shifter which was one of the key project tasks in the for Digital Design and
Computer Organization course. Although the project topics were pre-assigned, I took full ownership of designing and
implementing both components from scratch. The shift adder was designed to perform efficient binary addition with
shifting operations, while the barrel shifter allowed for the rotation of bits, both essential for optimizing
computational processes in digital systems.
• JavaScript Mini-Compiler using Yacc and Lex:
Built a mini-Javascript compiler using yacc and lex along with a team. My primary responsibility in the team was
writing the Yacc definitions for parsing the JavaScript-like syntax. I carefully defined the grammar rules for various
expressions and statements, ensuring the proper syntactic structure of the language. Additionally, I was involved in
the debugging process, where I helped identify and resolve issues related to the parser and token generation
