I am an aspiring software developer who is extremely passionate to learn and innovate.
About Me
I'm Div,
A fifth-year Combined Software Engineering and Business major at the University of Calgary. I have honed both my programming and professional abilities through various personal, academic, and professional endeavors. With a passion for solving real-world problems, I am always looking to grow my skills and expand my knowledge horizon.
I really enjoy playing basketball and tennis with my friends and exploring the Rockies through a pleasant hike. I have a keen interest in nature photography as I love to capture the various landscapes I encounter through my travel adventures. Keep scrolling to see some of my best shots!
Education
Skills
Technical Experience
Technology Analyst Intern
BMO
- Leveraged Power BI to develop an executive-level dashboard showcasing DORA metrics, KPIs, workload distribution, and development progress across multiple products. Automated real-time data retrieval and refreshes, empowering data-driven decision-making and strategic planning.
- Implemented dynamic and selective unit testing, based on development source changes, within non-production and production pipelines. Reduced deployment time by over 50% and reduced UAT and production defects by 30%.
DevOps Developer Intern
IBM
- Designed and deployed automated solutions to optimize the development of IBM Cloud Pak documentation using Python, Batch, and Shell scripts running on Jenkins servers.
- Engineered versatile scripts to streamline mass updates, file creation, and data consolidation of thousands of XML-based DITA source files, conserving over 400 hours of manual work.
Undergraduate Student Researcher
Biometric Technologies Laboratory
- Designed a robust deep learning model using PyTorch (Python) to perform person re-identification based on attribute classification.
- First author of the scientific publication in the IEEE Symposium Series on Computational Intelligence (SSCI) 2021, outlining our proposition to shift the focus of research towards developing more applicable models.
Featured Projects
The following are some of my technical projects, more can be found on my GitHub.
Real-Time Weather Event Monitoring System
A prototype created for RBC as our final-year capstone project. The comprehensive software suite aggregates, processes, and visualizes real-time weather event data, designed to facilitate swift and informed decision-making for RBC on a national scale.
Achieved processing speeds of under 10 minutes to process the impact of thousands of climate events on millions of locations of interest in real-time and on-demand.
BlockPortal
A prototype student portal service that integrates blockchain technology with a seamless student experience. It allows for secure, decentralized transactions which can be tracked and easily viewed within BlockPortal.
This solution earned "Best Blockchain Project Using Hedera" at the MakeUC 2022 Hackathon.
AccuVision
A program which uses computer vision and uploads live statistics of the number of people in an establishment onto a user-friendly dashboard available to the public. Designed to limit the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic.
This prototype solution earned first place at the HackTogether 2021 Hackathon.
Person Re-Idenfication Deep Learning Model
A practical deep-learning model intended to perform person re-identification through attribute recognition (soft biometrics). This model proposes a shift in ongoing research surrounding this area towards creating more explainable and transparent models whilst maintaining accuracy and performance.
The model is featured in our scientific paper, Towards Explainable Person Re-Identification
