Portfolio

Data Scientist - Soccer Field Registration and Broadcast Analysis
Data Scientist - Soccer Field Registration and Broadcast Analysis

Designed and implemented a pipeline that broadcasts and performs specific field and broadcast analysis tasks on the project. The solution handles the following: soccer edge detection, player detection and tracking (with occlusion handling), jersey number recognition, homography extraction (player mapping on a minimap), team classification, ball detection and mapping and homography sequence stutter removal using convex optimization. Developed and implemented the solution with Python and free custom-made datasets.

Data Scientist - EDA on Gun Usage Data Along with Census Data in the US
Data Scientist - EDA on Gun Usage Data Along with Census Data in the US

Led an exploratory data analysis project to study the relationship between census data and the proportion of the population in the US with gun usage to get insights about them and try to prevent or reduce the usage of guns in the future.
