Projects
Data Science
1. Cricket
As the author of the Cricket project in my Data-Science repository, I built a Python-based analytics toolkit that turns raw match data into actionable insights. The pipeline begins by loading CSV files into Pandas DataFrames and performing thorough cleaning and transformationânormalizing team names, handling missing values, and parsing date fields. From there, I extract and compute key metrics such as season-wise match counts, win margins by runs or wickets, overall team win tallies, and âPlayer of the Matchâ award frequencies. To make these insights accessible, I wrapped the analysis in a simple Tkinter GUI that presents menu-driven options for each metric, and I use Matplotlib to generate clear visualizationsâbar charts for team comparisons, line plots for trend analysis, and histograms to show distribution of outcomes. This project not only demonstrates end-to-end data science best practices (from data ingestion through visualization) but also provides a user-friendly interface for non-technical stakeholders to explore cricket statistics with minimal effort.
2. ImageProcessing Project
As the author of this project, I developed a comprehensive workflow for leaf species detection and classification that combines advanced imageâprocessing with machine learning. I began by acquiring raw leaf images and enhancing their quality through histogram equalization, greenâpixel thresholding, and isotropic diffusion to remove noise. After segmenting each leaf from its background, I extracted a rich set of descriptorsâshape, morphological, color histogram, and texture featuresâthen calculated feature ratios to capture each speciesâ unique characteristics. For classification, I designed a twoâstage convolutional neural network (CNN) pipeline: first matching input features against a database via Euclidean distance, then refining predictions using color histogram correlation. This dualâstage approach consistently delivered over 90% accuracy, even as the dataset grew in complexity. The implementation leverages OpenCV, Matplotlib, Mahotas, and PIL for efficient processing, and the modular structure supports future enhancements like transfer learning and attentionâbased models to further improve performance.

The codebase is organized into discrete modulesânetworking (VPCs, public and private subnets, route tables, Internet and NAT gateways), security (security groups, IAM roles and policies), compute (EC2 instances, Lambda functions), data stores (RDS MySQL with credentials fetched from AWS Secrets Manager, DynamoDB tables), and integration services (API Gateway, SNS topics, S3 buckets). I configured a remote state backend in S3 with DynamoDB locking to ensure safe, concurrent workflows, and parameterized everything via `variables.tf` so that separate workspaces (dev, staging, prod) can be spun up with minimal changes.
To streamline credential management, I wrote Terraform logic that automatically retrieves database credentials from Secrets Manager and injects them into RDS and Lambda environment variables, eliminating hard-coded secrets and enforcing least-privilege access. Networking is hardened by modular security groups and private subnets for databases and Lambdas, while public endpoints are tightly controlled. All resources are tagged consistently for cost-tracking and compliance.
Beyond provisioning, I embedded best practices throughout: clear outputs for newly created ARNs and endpoints, thorough documentation in README.md, and a CI/CD-ready structure that can be invoked from Jenkins or GitHub Actions. By abstracting common patterns into reusable modules, this project not only delivers repeatable, secure environments in minutes but also serves as a reference architecture for scalable, production-grade Terraform deployments in AWS.
