Soumi Das

Computer Science & Electronic Systems Student

Profile

I am a dual-degree student pursuing a B.Tech in Computer Science and a BS in Electronic Systems. Through personal projects, I have gained experience in embedded systems, electronics, and machine learning. I am fascinated by the intersection of software and hardware, and I enjoy building practical systems that solve real problems.

Projects

Home Security System

Arduino Nano-based, multi-module home security system · Arduino Nano, C/C++, RFID, I²C, SPI, sensors
  • Built RFID-based authorization using an MFRC522 module over SPI.
  • Displayed real-time system status on an LCD1602 screen over I²C, with a buzzer alert for intrusions.
  • Implemented a relay-driven solenoid door lock, laser tripwire window security, and flame-sensor fire safety with emergency door release.

Interactive LED Animation System

Touch-controlled animations on an 8×8 LED matrix · Arduino Uno, Embedded C/C++, MAX7219, SPI
  • Designed an interactive display system to render custom animations on an 8×8 LED dot matrix.
  • Integrated a TTP223 capacitive touch sensor as the user interface.
  • Programmed dynamic cycles so users can rotate through three distinct animations with a touch.

PRISM — Severity Prediction & Response Strategies

Predicting disaster severity to inform response · Python, supervised learning, linear regression
  • Analyzed casualties, economic losses, and emergency-response data from the Global Disaster Response Analysis dataset.
  • Used supervised linear regression to predict a severity index for global disasters.
  • Achieved 97.51% accuracy and an RMSE of 0.4432 to support resource allocation and proactive disaster recovery.

Global Disaster Severity Prediction Model

Natural-disaster severity prediction and model evaluation · Python, scikit-learn, NumPy, Pandas
  • Predicts disaster severity using factors including casualties and economic loss.
  • Applied linear regression for prediction and KNN to visualize results.
  • Evaluated tolerance and accuracy using MAE, MSE, and RMSE metrics.

Fitsphere Model

Personalized exercise recommendations from health metrics · FastAPI, Python, scikit-learn, Joblib, Uvicorn
  • Created an app feature that recommends personalized exercises by analyzing user health metrics, including BMI, height, and calorie intake.
  • Used ensemble learning to train a Random Forest classifier for recommendations.
  • Built a FastAPI service to handle user data and deliver exercise suggestions.
