Mental Health Meme Classification

Classifies depression and anxiety symptoms from internet memes by combining OCR text, Qwen2.5-VL-7B-generated figurative reasoning, and ResNet-50 visual features, fused through a MentalBART encoder with retrieval-augmented context.

  • Multimodal fusion combining OCR text, Qwen2.5-VL figurative reasoning, and ResNet-50 visual features
  • MentalBART encoder fine-tuned for single-label anxiety and multi-label depression symptoms

Microservices Benchmarking with DeathStarBench

Deployed DeathStarBench's 20+ service social network across Docker Compose, k3s, and GKE to benchmark latency and resource utilization under three replica/node topologies. Because Prometheus had nothing to scrape and Jaeger shipped broken, I rebuilt observability on eBPF-based Pixie and repaired Jaeger by hand.

  • 20+ microservices orchestrated on GKE with wrk2 load generation and tail latency profiling
  • Repaired Jaeger tracing pipeline and deployed Pixie eBPF telemetry for kernel-level observability

Advanced ANPR & Face Recognition

Pairs YOLOv8 license plate detection with a Siamese few-shot face recognizer to cross-verify driver identity against vehicle registration. The system was trained on real CCTV footage obtained under NDA from the Ahmedabad West traffic police, and placed as a national finalist at the KAVACH-2023 hackathon.

  • Sub-50ms plate localization with YOLOv8 and character OCR under varying glare and motion blur
  • Siamese few-shot network matching in-cabin driver face against registered vehicle owner records

Student Dropout Analysis

A two-sided platform, EduDropX, pairs a Flask school administration portal with a React government analytics dashboard, using regression models to project dropout rates by gender, caste, and school tier from UDISE+ and school-submitted data, plus a rule-based per-student attendance alert. Winner of SSIP 2022 state-level hackathon, published at IEEE I2CT 2024.

  • Linear and polynomial regression models projecting categorical dropout rates across gender, caste, and tier
  • Rule-based 60% attendance threshold alerts paired with Gujarat district Leaflet choropleth and Highcharts 3D
