Hi there!

My name is Akash Sharma.

I'm a programmer, a developer and a research-enthusiast.

Recently, I completed my bachelors from IIIT - Delhi in Computer Science.

I truly believe that programs can have deep beauty and elegance, just like poems.

In a typical day of my life, I usually participate in programming contests & hackathons, study how a computer & related systems function, work on cutting edge research, develop small application-based projects, do some open source contributions at Github, and hack on random stuff.



Places I've worked at:

You can find details here.

What I do

Development

I've worked with

Programming Languages: C++, C, Java, Python

Web Languages: Javascript, Typescript, HTML, CSS

Frontend Frameworks: Angular, Vue, React

Backend Frameworks: Node, Flask, PHP

DataBase Technologies: MongoDB, MySQL, Redis, DynamoDB

Domain-Specific Languages: R, MATLAB, Latex

Open source

I working with people in developing open source technologies. I have contributed to several open source projects and manage a few of my own.

Few OSS that I have contributed and collaborated with:

Competitive Programming

I am a passionate Algorithmist. Hence, engaging in this game of algorithms interests me a lot. I regularly participate in programming contests at Codechef and Codeforces etc. where I solve problems through designing cool algorithm based solutions.

Research

My research interests spans across Deep Learning, Natural Language Processing, Program Analysis and Software Engineering.
I to work in interdisciplinary domains like Computational Linguistics , ML + Software Analysis etc.

Research Labs that I have worked with:

Writing

I also write blogs on software engineering, development and research at

User-Based Development Projects

COVID-19 REALTIME ANALYTICS PORTAL

A Real-Time Analytics portal for the CoronaVirus showcasing live updates of the disease outbreak on global as well as national scale geospatially as well as analytically. It also features live news updates along with some useful information essential for COVID-19 awareness.

TWEEPY MODI (Twitter Archive)

This project was done in association with Oxford University and IIM Kozhikode. This platform is an advanced scrapper which scraps the desired tweet archives from twitter for political figures can do further processing and analysis.

CHAT-HOUSE

A secured open communication Chat Room which efficiently handles 300-400 people (tested) using an optimized socket communication network.

REMINI-CHAIR

An advanced personalized health monitoring wheelchair for elderly. We designed Reminichair (a smart wheelchair) which would establish a sort of connect between the elderly and their relatives by sending automated regular updates about their whereabouts and well-being.

S.A.H.A

An IOT based lighting solution for homes and offices. This project was a functional prototype of an IOT based smart lamp providing many modern facilities like surround sound and light based brightness adjustment, motion detection, all controlled through the android app.

DASH COLLEGE

A web-based portal catering to the needs of college students by facilitating services like cab, food sharing and item exchanges allowing students to share/ contribute to pool together to save fares or ordering food/items together in bulk for discounts.

SLITHERING.IO

An endless and exciting game made in advanced JavaFX playable by any machine running Java.

SPEC AUTH

Special authentication mechanisms to address the problem of having specialised authentication and identity verification for various special groups. These mechanisms can be incorporated by other applications for e-authorizing special groups of people
