• Hi there, I'm Arka Datta ! 👋

I am a third-year B.Tech student at University School of Automation and Robotics (USAR), GGSIPU. I bridge the gap between hardware concepts and modern software engineering. My passion lies in building complex, scalable web systems and exploring AI/ML solutions.

• 🔭 Currently working on: FogBot — an autonomous leading rover & IoT command center for NMDC's Smart India Hackathon 2026 problem statement (SIH26007), plus preparing for GATE CSE 2027.
• 💼 Experience: AI/ML Intern at IIT Kanpur · Big Data Management Intern at IBM.
• 🤝 Community: Core Member of AWS Cloud Club & Abhivyakti (Literary Club).
• ⚡ Fun fact: When I'm not coding or studying for backups, I'm grinding Valorant or re-watching Blade Runner 2049 for the aesthetic.

Smart India Hackathon 2026 — NMDC Problem Statement SIH26007

An autonomous leading pilot rover and IoT command center that drives ahead of mine trucks to enable safe operation in dense fog and low-visibility open-cast iron ore mines.

• Hardware: Raspberry Pi 5, LiDAR, vision + 3D depth cameras, IR/ultrasonic sensors, GPS, STM32 motor controller.
• Software: Command dashboard and landing page with a Three.js/React digital-twin visualization of the rover (real-time risk states, hazard lighting).
• Comms: LoRaWAN as the backup communication channel.

Multi-module Streamlit dashboard for sales and workforce analytics

A data science pipeline covering sales prediction, demand forecasting, worker performance analysis, an early-warning system, product recommendations, and sales trend analysis — built on trained scikit-learn models.

A high-performance, full-stack web application designed for complex data management.

This project was built without relying on heavy frontend frameworks, demonstrating deep knowledge of Vanilla JavaScript and DOM architecture.

• Architecture: Built using Class-based OOP in JavaScript for modularity and scalability.
• Performance: Implemented efficient DOM manipulation (Map caching), passive scroll listeners, and requestAnimationFrame for buttery smooth 60fps animations.
• Accessibility (A11y): Fully compliant with ARIA standards, ensuring screen reader compatibility and keyboard navigation.
• Backend: RESTful API built with Node.js, Express, and MongoDB handling complex schemas and nested data structures.
• Key Features: Custom overlay navigation system, debounced search algorithms, and SVG turbulence filters.

Built during Internship at IIT Kanpur A FastAPI backend that answers natural-language questions against a movie-review dataset using TF-IDF and cosine similarity matching.

• Tech: Python, FastAPI, scikit-learn.
• Outcome: Deployed API endpoint for querying reviews with relevance-ranked responses.

Personal portfolio site built with HTML, CSS, and vanilla JS.
