  • My team and I built a Smart Dustbin using the Internet of Things (IoT). The Bin senses body movements and automatically opens up its lid.

  • For my final year dissertation, I worked on a Text-to-Speech (TTS) model using Machine Learning and Natural Language Processing (NLP). The project aimed to design a TTS model for people with speech impairments. The coding was done in Python programming language and the model operated on top of the in-built Python libraries instead of Google Translate or other online translators. I scored 98/100 (Distinction) for the dissertation project.
