  • The project focuses on enhancing Machine Learning Operations (MLOps) at KPN. The core of the thesis
  • revolves around a Machine Learning code quality framework we've developed, which assesses various aspects of Python code. This framework integrates with Dataiku, our enterprise machine learning platform, and assists Data Scientists in evaluating their Python recipes within Dataiku projects.
  • The primary goal of my thesis is to calibrate the scoring system used by this framework. This involves modifying the scoring mechanism, if necessary, to effectively aid Data Scientists in improving their coding skills. Key research questions include understanding the impact of different score levels on maintenance costs and productivity, and identifying specific areas of code improvement to enhance these scores.

  • I utilized my learning in action by designing a working prototype of a Biometric Authenticated & Voice Operated mobile robot. It was primarily intended to replace and assist front-line workers by interactively welcoming visitors in real-time utilizing an AI-conversational interface that can be modified as needed. It also included authentication by facial recognition and security screening at the backend and guided visitors to the desired location in the building by using floor maps. While the prototype achieved basic interactions, authentication and routing, it has more comprehensive applications by incorporating thermal scanning, facial pattern recognition and behavior pattern analysis and utilizing the robots in Hospitality Industry, Hospitals and Retail Outlets.
