Personal Projects
Smart ambulance System using IoT, 05/17 – 05/18
Patent number: November 2017, 201721031950A
Research paper: ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/8336593/
Developed a smart ambulance system to minimize the delay in the treatment of the patient in emergency situations. Worked
in developing data pipeline and monitoring system using Python, C++, MySQL, and Arduino, and also improved exception
handling and debugging skills by overcoming external factors that might intercept the operation of medical IoT sensors.

Face Verification, github.com/omkarudawant/Face-Verification, 07/20

A facial verification API built with Google’s Facenet model embeddings. Developed an API using FastAPI and Docker which
can be deployed to verify faces by uploading images or providing URL of the images. Gained experience in developing
REST API with FastAPI framework.

ML Service, github.com/omkarudawant/ML-Service, 04/20

A machine learning web service using Scikit-Learn and Django. Developed an API using Django, REST, and Docker-
Compose to host classical machine learning models. Improved debugging, unit testing, and Dockerizing skills.

Sentiment Prediction with BERT, github.com/omkarudawant/Sentiment-Prediction-with-BERT, 04/20

A Deep Learning based sentiment prediction with BERT Transformers using IMDB dataset. Developed an API using Flask
which can be deployed to predict the sentiment of the given sentence. Gained experience of developing NLP solutions using
transformers framework.

Winning Team Prediction API, github.com/omkarudawant/Winning-Team-Prediction-API, 09/19

Demo: predict-winner.herokuapp.com
