Nice To Meet You

Hey, I'm Dev Shah

Hey, I'm Dev Shah and I'm a 20 year old Machine Learning researcher based in Toronto. I’m currently a ML researcher working in Medical Imaging x AI lab under Dr. Tyrrell; looking to integrate Artificial Intelligence into a clinical setting to improve the diagnosis process. I’m also studying Computer Science at the University of Toronto. My ultimate aspiration is to make a significant and lasting positive impact on the world, with the hope of touching the lives of billions. While I acknowledge that achieving this goal may be a long and challenging journey, it is one that I am wholeheartedly committed to pursuing. Check out my portfolio and skills below! I will be posting updates on my website and throughout my newsletters, make sure to subscribe below! Stay tuned :)

Featured Projects.

Featured Project 1

LLM Driven Avatar

Developed a LLM driven avatar using NVIDIA’s Omniverse platform and Audio2Face interface, integrating cutting-edge Machine Learning libraries. This solution significantly improved installation-related customer service, resulting in a 47% reduction in support ticket escalation and a 32% decrease in installation process duration. Leveraged a tech stack including Python, PyTorch, AWS, Docker, GRPC, Hugging Face, and NVIDIA Audio2Face to create a state-of-the-art avatar for enhancing customer service. Successfully delivered a robust system that demonstrated its efficiency by achieving a 92% customer satisfaction rate based on post-implementation surveys.

Featured Project 2

EyeSpy; multimodal AI-model to help the visually impaired.

Developed a multi-model AI system to help the visually impaired navigate through crowded spaces. The program uses the user’s iPhone camera (ideally, this would be a set of glasses with a camera for ease of use) to scan their surroundings; sampling images every couple of seconds and passing them to the Detectron2 model. This model analyzes the image, performs object detection, and creates bounding boxes of the objects near the visually impaired individual. The bounding boxes are processed in the backend and converted into simple English descriptions (i.e. there is a chair on the left) by splitting the image into a grid with 5x5 pixel boxes. This English description is fed to Cohere’s LLM and the model provides an in-depth description of how to navigate/proceed forward. This description is fed to the individual in an audio format using Whisper from OpenAI.
