University Projects at RIT
Lockheed Martin IoT Pipeline and Anomaly Detection
Graduation Project
Year-long project completed through the RIT Capstone program, where corporations partner with teams of RIT Software Engineering seniors to solve their company’s’ industrial problems. Our team worked with government contractor Lockheed Martin, the world’s largest military, aerospace and info security company.
Built a streaming data pipeline which ingested and processed real time IoT sensor data from factory floor using AWS tooling.
Developed anomaly detection model for the prediction and notification of machine failures using rolling and lagging time series features.
Data pipeline and anomaly detection model were then used by the team to create desktop/iOS dashboards to monitor health and performance of factory machinery using AWS services for hosting, serverless backend, NoSQL databases, and CI/CD & IAC.
AWS: Kinesis, SQS, Greengrass, MTConnect, Amplify, Lambda, APIGateway, DynamoDB, Neptune, CI/CD & IAC, CDK
JetBrains Research Model deployment
Independent Research Project in Software Engineering
Completed as an Independent Study under the supervision of Professor Dr. Mohamed Wiem Mkaouer at RIT SmileLab Research Group for JetBrains Research, a leading data science research lab dedicated to improving modern software engineering tools.
Prototyped random forrest and XGBoost models for AntiCopyPaster, a JetBrains IntelliJ IDE plugin, which detects and suggests Java code fragments for method refactoring using software testing features, such as cyclomatic complexity and per line connectivity. Tracked down bug in initial data collection and model validation scheme using permutation feature importance and adversarial validation.
Optimized final scikit-learn Random Forest and Keras CNN models for deployment in Java based, IntelliJ IDE plugin runtime. Replaced TensorFlow for JVM and Deeplearning4j with ONNX Runtime which led to faster load times, reduced plugin size, and lowered inference latency.
