Introduction
Hello, My name is Shivam Shah and I am a software engineer from India. I am a fairly good coder and even better problem solver. I did my fair share of if-then-else-while-for before I dived into the ocean of Computer Science. I am deeply interested in Machine Learning and Data Mining. The rest of my interest is shared among Artificial Intelligence(CV), NLP, Snooker and Travelling.

Education
I am currently pursuing a Bachelors Degree in Computer Science from Uttaranchal Institute of Technology, Dehradun. I am in my final semester and working hard on a project - System Navigation using Gestures - In this project my aim is to allow the user to navigate through his computer, starting with images and music files, with a gesture made via his hand. There are 2 major challenges in the project -
 * 1) Efficiently recognizing the skin(hand) of the user.
 * 2) Efficient tracking and matching of the gesture.

I have published few technical papers:
 * Motion Detection Algorithm using background Subtraction, 2013. International Journal of Scientific and Educational Research (IJSER) e-ISSN:2229-5518
 * Differential Drive Backhoe Loader, 2013. IOSR Journal of Mechanical and Civil Engineering (IOSR-JMCE) e-ISSN: 2278-1684,p-ISSN: 2320-334X

Experience
I've been working in a small startup company named OpenLifeCycle since August 2012 as UI designer/developer. Since my joining I have completed 2 major projects - Task Management and Event Management. Currently I am working on a notification layer and Mail Management.

As fate would have, I'll be joining Amazon IDC from this June as Software Development Engineer 1

Projects
I've done a lot of coding in my early days before I got pulled into the field of Machine Learning, Data Mining and Artificial Intelligence. I've had a diverse experience with technologies. Some of them are:


 * Android Applications – Flames(Relationship Calc), Sketcher(Drawing Application)
 * Flames: A simple Android application was created that, using a simple algorithm, computes the relationship between two people, taking their names as inputs. – Sketcher: Android application was created that allows you to draw and then save the image created. Sketcher had many open-source brushes incorporated inside it and an open-source Color Chooser.


 * Web Projects - Life And Orange, AccessXperia, SketcherWEB (Online drawing)
 * Computer Vision - Devnagiri-Z (Gesture Recognition, Java & C#)
 * A gesture recognition software that identifies a single strike gesture, built on k-NN along with GSS algorithm to find the closest match of the drawn gesture.


 * Computer Vision - Motionizer (Motion and Color Detection, C#), Facial Recognition
 * A new algorithm is designed and implemented for motion detection – weighted ∆. It is an efficient background estimation algorithm used for detecting relevant motions. It also include luminance and RGB color detection.


 * IMConnect (Chat Application, XMPP & Java), IMConnectWeb
 * An IM client was developed that uses XMPP protocol to interface with the server. In IMConnectWeb, a chat application having broadcast, groupchat and private conversations was developed.
