Building a strong portfolio through various certifications, I have demonstrated expertise in multiple domains, particularly Machine Learning, Cloud Computing, Web Development, and Data Science. Here is a detailed breakdown of my certifications, highlighting technical skills, projects, and key learning outcomes:
In September 2024, I enrolled in several advanced courses to further enhance my skills in cutting-edge technologies and industry practices. These courses cover a range of topics from deep learning and system design to backend communication and machine learning. Here’s a brief overview of the certificates I’m pursuing:
Deep Learning Specialization by Andrew Ng: A comprehensive program focusing on deep neural networks, convolutional and recurrent networks, and transformers using TensorFlow and HuggingFace. This specialization provides hands-on experience with real-world projects and advanced optimization techniques.
Cohort 1 to 100 by Harkirat Singh: An intensive course that delves into advanced backend communication, system design, and DevOps practices. It covers technologies such as Redis, Kafka, Docker, Kubernetes, and serverless computing, with practical projects and real-world applications.
Machine Learning A-Z: AI, Python & R + ChatGPT Prize [2024]: This course offers in-depth knowledge of machine learning algorithms, dimensionality reduction, and natural language processing. It provides hands-on experience with Python, R, and ChatGPT, and includes real-life case studies and practical exercises.

As part of a collaborative research initiative, I worked on the development of a cutting-edge AI-powered translation tool aimed at translating resource materials and other texts from English into various Indian regional languages. The project addressed the need to overcome language barriers in India, a country with a vast linguistic diversity, for sectors such as education, healthcare, e-governance, and regional content dissemination.
The tool leverages Neural Machine Translation (NMT), a modern AI technique that uses deep learning models to translate languages efficiently and accurately. Our implementation focused on using the MarianMT model, a transformer-based architecture known for its exceptional performance in machine translation. The MarianTokenizer was employed to preprocess and tokenize the input text, preparing it for translation. This approach ensures that the translations maintain the cultural and contextual relevance of the target language.
In the dynamic world of open-source software, my journey as the Executive Director & Maintainer at TCET Open Source has been both challenging and rewarding. From June 2023 to December 2023, I had the opportunity to significantly contribute to the TCET Open Source community, an organization with a robust user base of over 2,000 daily active users. My role evolved from an intern in the Documentation Team to a leadership position, where I took charge of enhancing documentation quality, leading critical projects, and fostering educational initiatives. This blog post delves into my experiences, achievements, and the impactful contributions I made during this period.
