Automatic Reporting Office (VBA coding in EXCEL)Intern at ATOS private limited, Pune in the field of data analysis. Worked on Excel VBA coding to generate a Power
Point Presentation from the data in excel workbook. This project involved computation of certain parameters,
generation of charts based on input dataset and analyzing the weekly updates. With the annual dataset input, prediction
of future requirement of employees for different practices was achieved..

IOT based Automatic Street lighting systemWinter Internship conducted by ExpertsHub at Smt.Kashibai Navale College of Engineering, Pune. Here, we worked
on IOT applications and developed an app based Smart Automatic street lighting system using Raspberry Pi and
ESP8266 WiFi Module. In case of automatic mode, the output of street lights was controlled depending upon LDR
input. Further street light glows only when there is human intervention. For this proximity sensors were used. In case
of manual mode, we can modify the output as per our requirement..
