Hello, my name is Syeda Areesha Najam, and I recently graduated from Habib University with a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science.

• 🌿 I work full-time as a Software Engineer at Spursol, a company whose mission is to improve people's lives through simple, elegant, and innovative solutions.

• 🌟 While I've undertaken numerous research endeavors, here are a couple of captivating highlights from my undergrad journey:

  • Nutrify - Your Personal Virtual Nutrionist 🍏 (Final Year Project)

    • 🧐 What's it all about? Nutrify isn't your ordinary diet app; it's a personalized food guru! We crafted 4600 authentic South Asian recipes, and then used that data to create a smart recommendation engine. Nutrify caters to your food preferences and health goals, making a balanced diet as easy as pie (or salad). 🥗
    • 🛠️ Skills I Put to Use: Python, Django, Deep Learning, Project Management, Machine Learning, Data Science
    • 🏆 Achievements:
      • Research abstract approved by SNEB (Society for Nutrition Education and Behavior) conference, reaffirming the impact of our research in the field of nutrition education.
      • Research poster, "Crafting a Healthier Desi Diet: Personalized And Balanced Recipe Recommendations through a Hybrid Recommendation System," won 2nd prize at the Dhanani School of Science & Engineering Undergraduate Research Symposium (DURS2023).
    • Dive into Nutrify

  • Drowsiness Detection System - A Lifesaver on the Road 🚗 (Deep Learning)

    • 😴 Tackling a critical issue - drowsy driving! We dove into the realm of artificial intelligence and deep learning to make roads safer. This project explored machine learning techniques to predict a driver's mental state, while looking at everything from facial expressions to bio-indicators. This research also included investigating data augmentation and the magic of transfer learning in (CNNs). 🧠
    • 🛠️ Skills I Put to Use: Python, Data Modeling, Data Analysis, Graphics Processing Unit, Deep Learning
    • 🏆 Achievements:
      • Research Paper accepted by IJSER (International Journal of Scientific Engineering and Research).
    • Discover Drowsiness Detection

• 💬 Brainstorm with me over tech, AI, Machine Learning, Data Science, and life.
