Projects

Will It Rain on My Parade? (NASA Space Apps Challenge)

Timeline: Oct 2025

Led a hackathon team that fused NASA Earth observation data, reinforcement learning, and geospatial analytics to deliver personalised rainfall forecasts for event planners. The live demo showcases location-aware precipitation probability maps, confidence metrics, and AI-driven insights powered by Random Forest ensembles trained on IMERG rainfall archives.

The application allows users to specify dates and locations, returning interpretable summaries of the likelihood of “very wet” or other adverse weather conditions. It integrates NASA POWER datasets, Giovanni workflows, and custom reinforcement learning pipelines that optimise query planning to reduce latency. Planned extensions include mobile notifications, POWER-based thermal indicators, and advanced AI models for hyper-local forecasts.

Machine Learning Pipelines with Azure ML Studio

Timeline: Nov 2024 – May 2025

Built an Azure ML pipeline that automates real-time inference workflows using gradient boosted trees, maximizing AUC/ROC performance for production deployments.

Drowsiness Detection for Drivers using OpenCV

Timeline: Jan 2025

Achieved 92% accuracy in real-time drowsiness detection through facial landmark analysis with OpenCV, Dlib, and machine learning classifiers to enhance driver safety systems.

Real-time Semantic-Aware Image Fusion

Timeline: Jun 2021 – Jul 2021

Integrated multispectral MFNet data to reach 95% fusion accuracy, enabling reliable low-visibility object detection for perception systems.
