Education

Experience

• Channel Estimation and Machine Learning Python MATLAB Implemented Least-squares and Minimum Mean-squared error and other various Channel estimation techniques for Wireless access in Vehicular environments using Tensoflow and Pytorch. Used GPU for batched algorithm implementation and parallel code execution.

• Smart Sensing and Analytics Python MATLAB SketchUp Oktal-SE SE-NAV MSc. Internship, built a Scikit-Learn and TensorFlow based Machine-Learning pipeline for classification of LOS/NLOS 5G and GNSS signal to further enhance positioning algorithm accuracy. Created Jupyter notebooks for ML-pipeline and documented data preprocessing. Performed ANOVA testing and PCA for feature selection. Migrated code for Kalman filter from MATLAB into python and ran unit-tests to verify and debug code execution.
• Sensor Fusion and Localization Matlab C++ SketchUp Designed a new Positioning Referece Signal for 5G (3GPP Release 16) and compared the positioning accuracy of state of the art with LTE-based OTDOA multilateration. Implemented a MATLAB simulation using a statistical Channel modeland Ray-tracing model of Indoor Office environment.Added PRS module to the company codebase using CI/CD pipeline. Built a GUI to visualize real-time TDOA simulation with mobile base stations.
• Smart Sensing and Analytics Python MATLAB SketchUp Blender Spirent SimGEN Oktal-SE SE-NAV Assisted a team in developing a testbed for 5G - New Radio signalling. Preprocessed Bayern state survey data to generate a 3D model of the city for channel modelling. Executed moving and coverage simulations for 5G and GNSS networks. Performed remote-controlled tests using Sim-Gen via python scripts over TCP/IP for GNSS and 5G hybrid positioning.

• Monte-Carlo Simulations MATLAB Developed and debugged a series of Monte-Carlo simulations in MATLAB for psychology experiments: MAAS model and Multi-stage sequential sampling models with finite or infinite horizon and variable boundaries. Implemented tests to verify the correct logic of developed simulations.

Projects

IoT Remote Lab JavaScript nodejs JSON MySQL

Created a smart weather monitor for automated gardening sprinklers using web of things standard from W3C. Incorporated APIs to fetch hourly weather forecast, store it in a 48 hour database and based on self-built weather model predict the rain to attain optimal plant growth.

Enterpreneurship Python OpenCV C++

Lead role head of technology in a diverse team. Engineered Anti-poaching startup to combat illegal Rhino poaching in South Africa. Designed innovative solutions using drones, ML, and CV to assist rangers. Collaborated with drone manufactorers and and space agency to devise a surveillance plan for tracking poaching incidents.

Embedded Systems Lab C++ Embedded C

Designed a light-Seeker Robot. Built a sensor using photo-resistors to determine direction of incoming light. Constructed a H-bridge that turns a Servo DC motor towards the light source. Researched a method to ramp the motor’s acceleration to create a critically damped system.

Advanced Digital Design VHDL C

Created a VHDL based Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (UART) using XILINX Synthesis tool on Spartan-3 Starter Kit Board. Built a driver for 7 Segmend LED to display hexadecimal codes.
