One of my most exciting work experiences was an independent neural network programming project led by MIT graduate Ryan Sander. We have developed a prototype and a program for a fingerprint scanning device using Python and the Keras API. The goal was to create a neural network that could compare scanned and stored fingerprints. I also created a software testing device that displayed a “Congratulations” message if the comparison was successful. This project was my first deep dive into machine learning and neural networks, and it was challenging from an intellectual and creative point of view. The demanding nature of problem solving gave me great satisfaction, and this prompted me to further study these technologies. I am fascinated by how neural networks reproduce brain processes and improve over time, and I am eager to be part of the cutting-edge developments in this field.
