Industry Experience

Software & Internet, Computers & Electronics, Professional Services, Media & Entertainment
    NoteDrop – Cross-Platform File and Tab Sharing Ecosystem

    ● Developed a cross-platform ecosystem (mobile, desktop, and Chrome extension) enabling seamless file and tab sharing between devices under the same Wi-Fi network — without relying on third-party apps like WhatsApp or Drive.
    ● Implemented real-time communication using Redis Pub/Sub and WebSockets for instant tab synchronization and file transfer.
    ● Designed secure drag-and-drop file sharing between laptop and mobile, with automatic downloads and progress tracking.
    ● Built mobile and desktop apps in React Native with responsive UI and native API integration for local device access.
    ● Engineered backend APIs using FastAPI and PostgreSQL to manage user sessions, file metadata, and transfer logs.
    ● Focused on privacy-first architecture — ensuring no external logins or data storage beyond local and peer devices.

    Deepfake Detection (AI vs. Real Image Classification)

    ● Curated and unified a multi-source dataset (~391K images) from CIFAKE, CelebDF v2, and Deepfake datasets for AI-generated vs. real image classification.
    ● Performed in-depth dataset analysis including image size, aspect ratio, RGB distributions, and t-SNE embeddings to detect feature overlaps and domain shifts.
    ● Standardized preprocessing (224×224 resizing, normalization, augmentation) achieving 100% label consistency across datasets.
