Machine Learning Intern

Create and teach a curriculum for the machine learning stream at Funtrench. This includes an introduction to python course, an advanced python course, introduction to machine learning using TensorFlow, and an OpenCV course

Create the following classroom example projects:
i. Tensorflow and OpenCV object detection application
A Python 3 application that takes an image or video stream as input and detects objects within bounding boxes. The system uses both Tensorflow and OpenCV and compares accuracy internally. The model should have the possibility of learning new objects.
ii. Tensorflow image dataset inspired by fashion-mnist
A Python 3 application based on the Tensorflow fashion-mnist classifier that can undergo supervised learning to create a new dataset with custom images and labels.

In addition to this, I work on the following commercial project:
i. Machine-learning enhancement for Odoo 10 ERP Community Edition
ML extensions to Odoo accounting, HR and inventory modules to flag common mistakes and point out potential fraud by learning from historical data.

Software Developer

Create a robust control system for a fully autonomous sailboat using the Model Predictive Control Toolbox in MATLAB.

Get the boat's equations of motion from its fluid dynamics in air and water and then to linearize these equations.

Simulate the weather and boat dynamics using Gazebo Simulation Software's physics engines and a Robot Operating System(ROS) communication framework.

The end goal is to create a robust sailboat control system that will control a fully autonomous sailboat through 2300 nautical miles of the Pacific ocean in the Victoria-Maui Yacht race.
