Projects
A collection of projects/experiments worked on by Vikas, and likely shared out with the community as an open source project.
DermaAID
An app for AI based Skin disease diagnosis. It doesn't require any special equipment (like a dermoscope), just clinical images taken from a decent smartphone camera.
Missing person Demo
An aws/rekognition based prototype webapp for searching missing people. It was developed as a side project to showcase the use and advantages of AI based image recognition system.
Batch Torrent Downloader
A collection of scripts for batch downloading of torrents from piratebay.org. It works similar to most of the bittorrent clients, except that being command line based, these scripts can be automated and can immensely help when we have hundreds of torrents to download.
Portfolio Analysis
A collection of scripts for price data analysis and backtesting technical trading strategies.
Multicore Test Generator/Validator
A project developed and engineered for generating arm based multicore tests for Freescale's LayerScape family of SoCs
PowerPC Simulator
An experimental instruction set simulator for e500 PowerPC core. It was designed as a fun project to learn the basics of abstract level hardware modelling.
PowerPC Disassembler
A command line tool to decode powerpc opcodes to their correspondng mnemonics and vice-versa. It was actually tuned for e500 family of PowerPC cores, since that's what I used to work with.
Cmd line based OSSv4 Mixer.
A shell based audio mixer for OSSv4 Linux driver using ncurses. The project after being usable for few years was abandoned due to a lack of need.
Publications
