Technology Consulting Intern

About

A startup based out of Texas, Zilker is an expert digital Consultancy and Systems Integrator that combines the agility of a startup with the experience and expertise of a global consulting firm. Zilker offers digital experiences, cloud integration and managed processes using emerging technologies.

My Work

As an intern, my undergraduate capstone involved enhancing the conventional test-based examination portal of IBM by developing a fuzzy model to generate adaptive assesments and establishing Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to monitor the feature effectiveness post-deployment. I was also responsible for destructuring the monolithic architecture using microservices to function on Docker and improving the overall UI/UX of the portal.

The feature was launched in the IBM recruitment suite and it led to an 18% decrease in overall crash reports and a 20% increase in question customization.

Additionally, I volunteered to tap my web development expertise to build a business value dashboard for the accounting division and an internal platform for training employees for certifications to experiment my MVC skills using modern tech stack.

Data Science Research Intern

My Work

Working under the tutelage of Dr. Harish Guruprasad and under an experienced Carnatic vocalist, I researched modeling musical attributes to characterize Carnatic ragas and built a Smart-music Tutor to provide real-time recommendations for user/instrument voice.

My work involved developing a GUI with Tkinter to detect user/instrument audio and pre-processing it using Music21 toolkit to provide recommendations for improvement or alternate phrases in the event of a mistake. The pre-processed audio was fed into Music Information Retrieval (MIR) toolbox, written in MATLAB, which extracts the pitch, tonality, rythm etc.

I experimented with several Machine Learning classification algorithms such as C4.5, Bayesian, Random Forest and K*. Ultimately, K* model achieved the highest accuracy of 94.72% and a Kappa statistic value of 0.91.

It was followed by Random Forest with 92.64%, then C4.5 with 89.70%, and then Bayesian classifier with accuracy of 86.76%. I observed that Random Forest classifier gives better accuracy as compared to K* when instances were less. But when the number of instances gets increased, K* performs better than Random Forest!

I developed the website and launched Nutrus Hub, an online platform to connect nonprofits with restaurants for collecting and distributing edible food to the needy households. When there is surplus food available, the operator can notify a near-by NGO with a click of a button! We're working on launching a mobile app for the same.

A few other initiatives we're working on:

• Nutrus NewsLetter - Public awareness on hunger problems and its associated impacts worldwide.
• Nutrus Conversations - Interviews with activists and domain leaders who have overcome hunger problems and have helped others in doing so.

Additionally, we've initiated an entrepreneurship boot camp to equip high school students with skills to explore starting up through technical projects. We're looking to scale to newer regions to expand our solutions and initiatives!
