• Clever AI and Machine Learning

An 8-week course on the principles of machine learning and AI, learning about cleaning and organizing big data, converting them into a form understood by computers, using random forest algorithms to create decisions and testing the machine learning model.

• SIEMENS Virtual Work Experience

Focus on IoT and automation (in progress)

1. Web Scraping Tool (Python)

Used Selenium Library to automate Chrome browser to extract information from Instagram.com to show statistics not originally provided by the website.

2. WhatsApp Point System

Used Selenium Library and WhatsApp to create a point system where users can interact with the program using predetermined commands that are entered into the chat (similar to discord bots).

3. ADAS Prototype with Arduino

Recreated a simple ADAS prototype using Lego proximity sensors programmed using their proprietary block programming to understand the foundation on which all obstacle-avoidance systems are built.

Explored my passion for embedded systems through personal projects involving the Arduino Uno microcontroller, learning to integrate sensors, motors and programming in C to create automatic systems, and recently improving my initial ADAS project by using the microcontroller and an ultrasound module.

4. Game Automation

Used OpenCV library and PyAutoGUI library to handle keyboard and mouse functions based on what is on the screen (used to automate tedious tasks in videogames).

5. Custom PC Assembly

Researched and built a high-performance desktop, gaining hands-on knowledge of hardware compatibility and optimization.

6. Woodworking Table Project

Designed and built a wooden table using CAD software, considering material strength and ideal joinery methods. Successfully tested the table to withstand up to 100kg.
