Welcome to my portfolio

Hi, I'm Jeevika

An AI enthusiast driven to create intelligent solutions that address real-world challenges.

About Me

Passionate About Innovation

Driven by curiosity and a love for problem-solving, I'm passionate about creating intelligent solutions that make a real difference in people's lives.

🎓 I'm pursuing an MS in Computer Science at the University of Southern California (USC), passionate about designing technology that has tangible impact.

🚀 I focus on building accessible, reliable, and efficient systems that solve real-world problems and enhance user experiences. My projects range from creating tools that simplify complex workflows to developing applications that empower users through intelligent, context-aware solutions. I enjoy bridging the gap between advanced technology and practical applications, turning innovative ideas into solutions people can actually use and benefit from.

💡 When I'm not coding, you'll find me exploring new technologies, I'm always excited to take on new challenges and collaborate on innovative projects. I enjoy blending problem-solving with curiosity, also while enjoying a good book with a cup of coffee ☕.

Car Theft Detection System

Car Theft Detection System

Security of parked cars against theft is a long existing concern. We present an automated way of detecting vehicle theft as it happens using moving object detection and barcode scanning for each parking entry. The detected edges of the output should give a clear image of the moving object from the video. The security personnel or the parking lot operator gets notified about the movement.
