I'm happy to share that I won 2nd place at the University of Pittsburgh's 2024 SteelHacks hackathon! This was my first hackathon ever. I think my teammates, Morgan Engel and Austin Gohn, and I make a dream team. 🙌 Our project, called One Call Away, aims to help elderly people at risk of falling and injuring themselves by using motion detection to determine if someone has suffered a dangerous fall, and autonomously call emergency contacts if so. I was responsible for coding the webcam to recognize whether a human body is upright or horizontal, and make a decision whether to contact emergency authorities. This included YOLOv8, an A.I. software trained on identifying and tracking human bodies. From this project, I learned how to work well with a team under pressure. We envision One Call Away will expand current home healthcare technologies with A.I. and ultimately save lives. I'm so grateful for this learning experience, and I look forward to (hopefully) winning my next hackathon! 🎉 #universityofpittsburgh #pitt #steelhacks #hackathon #computerscience #ai #machinelearning #falldetection #poseestimation #computervision

I won my second hackathon! 🏆 (after losing 5 times in a row) I'm super excited to share that my teammate Ashu J. and I won the Summer Hack 1.0 hackathon organized by IOSC BVP. We worked in the health tech domain. Our project is designed to make life easier for people with low vision. "Drishyam" uses machine learning to turn the things around them into audio descriptions. We're proud of creating something that could make a difference for those facing vision challenges. Thanks for reading! #hackathon #learninpublic #buildinpublic #machinelearning

🏆 Exciting News! 🏆 I'm thrilled to announce that my team won 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐳𝐞 at the 𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥-𝐥𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥 Hack For Good hackathon hosted by BMSCE ACM Student Chapter! 🥇💰 Out of 114 teams, we emerged as the top choice in the final round, even though it was my first hackathon experience. 🚀 I led a fantastic team including JEET NANDIGRAMI, Rohit Kumar Dey, Ankan Das, and Dyuti Dasgupta. Our project, Forest Watch AI, addresses illegal poaching, forest fires, and floods. 🌿🔥💧 What we achieved: 🔍 Custom ML Model: Detects poachers in stop-motion camera images. 📧 Email Alerts: Notifies authorities of suspicious activity via email. 📊 Sensor Alerts: Analyzes sensor data for temperature and water levels. We faced challenges with data retrieval and image preprocessing but overcame them through teamwork. We won ₹5,000! 💪🎉 Thanks to BMSCE ACM Student Chapter and TechGig for this amazing event! 🙏 #hackathon #hackathon2023 #HackForGood #HackathonChampions #FirstPrizeWinners

Super excited to share our recent Hackathon project! . We took a task: using computer vision to find potholes and the awesome Midas model to figure out how bad they are.   Working on this project has been a fantastic learning experience for me. With our system, we can spot potholes on roads, making it easier to keep them in good shape. The Midas model helps us not only find potholes but also understand how serious they are—like giving our roads a checkup! Midas, or "Monocular Depth Estimation in Real-time with a Single RGB Image," is a smart computer vision model. It's like giving eyes to computers, helping them understand how far away things are in a photo. It uses deep learning to learn from lots of pictures, making it really good at figuring out distances   Thrilled about our progress and the valuable lessons I've gained. Would love to hear your thoughts. #hackathon #computervision #roadsafety #innovation #techforgood #MidasModel #PotholeDetection

Would you believe that 6 kids, aged 13-17, are working on a pitch titled: “FusionAI: Our mission? Optimizing fusion parameters through quantum simulation AI.” 🤯 I spent some time on Sunday as a judge at The Knowledge Society (TKS) hackathon, and was blown away by the quality of thought, research, and ambition all the teams demonstrated. This is #GenZ - Mission driven. Creative. Not going to accept the status quo and just fall in line “for the way it’s always been done”. Not just tech or digital native, AI will be an everyday tool for them, much like calculators and Microsoft office were for prior generations. From AI use to diagnose cardiovascular disease, to handheld devices to help kids with autism overcome speech impediments, to regenerating coral reefs…my fellow judges Lucas Playford and Kashyap (Kash) Balakrishnan were equally blown away by all of the ideas pitched. I look forward to this cohort being old enough to officially be “hired” into organizations that are willing to embrace #innovation. #AI #FutureOfWork
