Machine Learning Engineer building food recognition and nutrition monitoring with YOLOv8, FastAPI, and Streamlit for the PM POSHAN scheme.
What I'm looking for
For my M.Tech project, I built NutriVision AI, a food recognition and nutrition analysis system for mid-day meal monitoring under the PM POSHAN scheme. It uses YOLOv8 and deep learning for real-time food detection, nutrient estimation, and HSV-based freshness and quality assessment.
I developed a FastAPI backend and Streamlit dashboard for monitoring, reporting, and analytics, with MySQL and SQLite for meal and audit data. I also authored a research paper and technical report on the system, model comparison, implementation, and field pilot results.
For my UPI fraud detection project, I implemented Random Forest, XGBoost, and LSTM models, applying feature engineering and anomaly detection to imbalanced transaction data. I built a real-time detection pipeline with instant alerts through a Flask API, and published an IEEE research paper on the approach and model performance.
My other projects include a real-time face detection system using OpenCV and Haar Cascade classifiers, and a full-stack online birth certificate platform. I also conducted a cybersecurity risk assessment, applying network security controls and GDPR and HIPAA frameworks.
