Hello! I am

Nilavan Akilan.

MACHINE LEARNING ENGINEER,

DATA SCIENTIST

About Me

I'm a pre-final year CSE-Data Science student at VIT Vellore. As a result of my perpetual curiosity, I have practical experience with a wide range of technologies including:

Python
C/C++
Java

HTML/CSS
MySQL
MongoDB

Scikit-Learn
TensorFlow
Keras

Flask
OpenCV
Pytorch

Which I use for:

Data Science
Machine Learning
Computer Vision
Data Visualization
Web Development
And more!

When I'm not working on something ML or data science, you can find me playing football, watching Formula 1 or singing and I'm always up for a game of Mario Kart!

Experience

Computer Vision Intern, Sentics GmbH

June 2022 — December 2022

• Developed an algorithm that accurately estimated the base point of an object using pose keypoint data from TRTPose and their 2D-3D correspondence, resulting in a 100% improvement in the accuracy of object location estimation.

• Conducted extensive research and experimentation with various object and keypoint tracking methods and presented detailed findings and recommendations to the team, providing valuable insights and contributing to the project's success.

Computer Vision Intern, Artenal

September 2021 — December 2021

• Collected and annotated videos of clients' farms to use as training and validation data for a real-time apple detection and classification system.

• Trained and tested multiple deep learning models to identify the most effective approach for apple detection and successfully applied the ResNet50 model for disease classification in apples.

Student, Vellore Institute of Technology

2019 — 2024

Earning an integrated MTech in CSE with specialization in Data Science.

Research Intern, Chennai Mathematical Institute

May 2018 — May 2018
