An affordable wearable Android accessory to display phone notifications on a wristwatch-like device.
A device which could be placed in motor vehicles to automatically detect violation of traffic rules and report to traffic police, specifically designed for no-horn zone violations.
Optimisation of flow shop scheduling on the basis of makespan computation using natural (genetic) algorithms.
MSc project at the University of Edinburgh under the supervision of Dr. Kenneth Heafield. Implemented the Reward Augmented Maximum Likelihood method and improved the quality of translation of the University of Edinburgh’s neural machine translation system by augmenting the training objective with reinforcement learning-inspired task rewards.
EPSRC GCRF-funded project in collaboration with the University of Cape Town to build a machine translation system to facilitate communication in the medical domain between isiXhosa-speaking patients and English-speaking doctors in health centres in South Africa. I participated as a research assistant at the University of Edinburgh.
Long-term EU(CEF)-funded project to collect parallel corpora from large-scale web crawls. I participated during my time as a data engineer at one of the project partners — TAUS.

As part of a project to develop medical domain machine translation systems between isiXhosa and English (see project page for more details), the University of Cape Town hosted a workshop, where I presented the challenges of building such a system in low-resource languages, some low-resource techniques to build better MT systems, the data used for building the medical domain isiXhosa-English MT models, and some preliminary results.
