This is an event management project in which I am looking after security. Network security, cloud security and web application security along with information security. The project is at a very preliminary stage and I am the only Cyber security expert so had to solve all issues related to the same
This project was related to human to human distance in the covid times, we won the competition and also patented the work. I was working on a similar model before the covid times so I and some of my students participated and learned different things: business model preparation, pitching an idea, budgeting a hardware project and algorithm preparation. I also learned how a idea is patented.
This project was again with some group of cooders which was related to HR ,anagment, it was a chat bot. Coders coded and checked the cyber security and made it cyber safe after providing certain important mitigations

This project is a hardware device which checks the quality of the food as nutrition and vitamins. It is a research project. Application security was easy but the device and IOT device security was a challenge which I tried to solve.

  • The proposed solution aims to detect social distancing in a particular area. The process starts with video footage captured by the camera or the CCTV facing the area. This video is then passed to the pre-processing unit where the video is divided into frames.

Key Responsibilities: We developed an E-Learning project in which I was responsible for automating engineering problems with the help of a SME and graphic designers. We developed learning material, quiz, tests etc. needed for learning different engineering subjects.

During my career, I’ve rarely come across real professionals like Sajeeda ma'am. Someone whom I will always remember fondly. I had the opportunity of working with her on several projects at MIT. She made a huge increase in the productivity level all across the team. She definitely earns my highest recommendation not just as a thoughtful leader but as a team player as well. She never loses her cool which is one of the reasons she stands out as the best mentor ever!

Sajeeda ma'am was a wonderful teacher when I was in MIT, perusing my engineering course. She had a unique knack of explaining a difficult concept, as well as a very important ability to create a strong bond of relationship with the students. This stayed with her even after I passed out and while she was handling the alumni relations. Now, whenever I visit MIT or need any information related, she is my go to person. I've not seen a more frank and friendly, yet very knowledgeable and disciplined teacher in my technical education.
