Projects

  • AI Integrated Elevator
    • Analyzed optimal floor levels for elevators at specific times to reduce passenger wait times using machine learning techniques, such as Logistic Regression and KNN. Utilized data-driven approaches to enhance elevator efficiency and passenger experience.
    • Establishing a connection between Raspberry Pi embedded boards and elevators through the CAN bus protocol for the real-time data transfer of elevators to a Linux-powered IoT. Building ETL pipelines by using Apache airflow to extract, ingest, and load elevator traffic data to an OLAP storage.
    • Performing Data visualization, big data analytics and statistical modeling on elevators traffic data.
    • We decreased hotels passengers’ waiting time by 27%, equating to a time savings of 11 seconds per passenger.

    File Sharing Market Based on Ethereum Network
    • Deployed a web3 application for a file-sharing marketplace, leveraging the IPFS and Ethereum smart contracts.
    • Implemented a decentralized dispute resolution mechanism to effectively address conflicts between users within the marketplace.View project.

    Secure Microchip Microcontrollers Remote Programmer Application
    • Developed and designed a QT/QML application for Paar Lift Company along with a server API using Node.js to enable secure programming of Microchip microcontrollers.
    • Hex files were stored securely on the server using AES256 encryption, and a robust authentication process was implemented to ensure access to these files.

    GPS Tracker Module
    • Utilized STM32 and Arduino for the hardware implementation. Additionally, Node.js was employed for the server API.
    • One of our challenges in this project was to control the power consumption of ESP8266 module to increase battery life of the embedded system.

  • Android Java based Game
    • Designed and developed an online Android game (Footxam) by using Java and it's API with Node.js.
