Sensor selection, supply chain design, resource allocation — all of it was about taking a real-world decision and encoding it as a mathematical model that a solver could handle. Then I took a data engineering job. And for the first time, I was building the plumbing — the pipelines, the orchestration, the monitoring — rather than the brain. /project/demandforecasting/ Mon, 04 Nov 2019 00:00:00 +0000 /project/demandforecasting/ The objective of this project is to minimize wastage of meal kits in retail stores. Currently, this is being done by tracking each individual item from the source until the point of sale. This is a cumbersome process and is labor intensive. In order to realize the objective using machine learning the first step in the process is to have an accurate forecast of the demand. This project focuses on generating accurate forecast for each individual item (46 unique items) for each store (47 unique stores). /project/mousedesign/ Mon, 04 Nov 2019 00:00:00 +0000 /project/mousedesign/ Computers are ubiquitously used in a number of jobs and even at home as an aid to facilitate various tasks. Operation devices are used to transfer information to machine and adjust or change the state of machine [1]. Most interaction with a computer involve using either mouse or a keyboard. People most often maintain static, unnatural posture for long hours. Using the mouse means repetitive movements which may cause physiological problems in the arm, wrist and shoulder [2].
