Dafa M

Hi! I am Faris, an electrical engineer who specializes in robotics, and hardware-software automation. I have done projects in machine learning, competitive robotics, electrical devices, and android games/apps (Unity & Android Studio). I have taken courses in computer engineering (VLSI, FPGA, etc), Internet of Things, computer vision, signal processing, and software engineering. I also have hobbies relating to art & design, making me pursue aesthetics on top of functionality.

Experiences
Former lecturer     Web-based Cheat Detection     Software Developer     Employment
Jul 2020 - Present
Education

  • Developed a system capable of estimating user pose (skeleton) during an online exam session using machine learning and computer vision.
  • The pose can be used to detect various gestures, such as when the test takers are frequently turning their head.
  • With JavaScript, the system can run natively on browser. Thus using only the user's hardware capability for calculation (no need for centralized server for calculation).
  • Low hardware requirements means the system can run well without disrupting test takers.

Skills used: Computer vision, JavaScript, Machine learning

AI Buddy     AIBuddy     Developer     Contract
Oct 2021 - Present
Arts and Entertainment

  • Django let me made a reactive website complete with its database management without the hassle of micromanaging every other aspect a website.
  • REST (DRF) allow me to design versatile APIs for external communication with the website, from streaming webcam image, text, log user historical data, and more.
  • Using Electron, I can turn my web dev skills such as JavaScript, Fetch, and AJAX to develop a native app across different platforms. It increases my focus on the functionality rather than the OS.
  • Tensorflow library on Python gives me a lot of freedom in implementing my ideas for Machine Learning system. Here we're implementing Emotion and Posture recognition.
