Personal Projects

Open-Source Contribution: TensorFlow

• Contributed a new feature to the TensorFlow library that allows users to visualize the activations of convolutional neural networks. I contributed this because I have a passion for the open-source community, I've learned a lot from other open-source projects, and wanted to give back.
• This feature helps developers better understand how their models are learning and identify potential issues.
• I created several unit tests to ensure that the new feature worked as expected.

Personal Project: Smart Home Automation System

• Developed a smart home automation system using Raspberry Pi and various sensors and actuators.
• The system allows users to control lights, temperature, and appliances remotely.
• I used Python and the Flask web framework to create a user-friendly interface for the system.

Gaps in Resume

• There is a 3-month gap between my internship at Nvidia and the start of my full-time role at Google. During this time, I was traveling in Southeast Asia.

I believe my experiences and projects have provided me with a solid foundation in software engineering principles and technologies. I am confident that I have the skills and abilities to succeed in this role. Thank you for your time and consideration.
