Ritik Verma

I'm a Backend Engineer

About

Welcome! I'm Ritik Verma, a Master's student in Computer Science at the University at Buffalo, with close to 2 years of industry experience as a Backend Engineer. My journey blends strong academic grounding with hands-on engineering, having worked extensively with backend technologies and frameworks like AWS, Kafka, Redis, Docker, Hive, and Kubernetes, along with SQL and NoSQL databases.

This portfolio is a curated collection of the work I’m most proud of—where research meets real-world impact. From developing large-scale data tools in the industry to designing emotion recognition models using biosignals, raw audio, and video, each project reflects my drive to explore what’s possible with machine learning, deep learning, and backend systems. Thanks for stopping by—let’s build something meaningful together.

Projects

Here is a list of projects I have developed!

AFairDNet: Actively Empowering Fair Multisensor Emotion Recognition with Chain-of-Thought on Diffused Biosignals

Python, PyTorch, LLMs, COT, DiffusionModel

Co-authored a paper on emotion prediction using biosignals.Independently worked on Chain-Of-Thought model and fine-tuning LLM's to reduce bias in the synthesized signals as well as worked on attribute prediction.

Object detection in traffic

Python, Pytorch, BDD100K dataset, uvicorn

Implemented a object detection model for detecting multiple items in traffic(cars, bicycles, pedestrian).Did a comparitive study between 3 state-of-the art models and finally deployed it to a local server for real-time inference

Resource scheduling in cloud using prediction by Regression model.

Python, NeuralNetworks, TensorFlow

Implemented RNN with LSTM for forward/backward propogation.The project presented a prediction model for forecasting computing resources such as CPU and memory utilisation.The entire project was written in python with TensorFlow, Keras, Matplotlib Libraries.We were able to achieve an accuracy of ~76%

Movie Recommendation Model

Python, Databricks Cluster, 100k Movielens dataset

Implemented a movie recommendation model and did a comparitive study between Collaborative Filtering, Content-based Filtering, Graph Convolutional Network and a Hybrid model that I implemented

Music suggestion app

Python, Keras, OpenCV, Flask

Implemented a facial expression recognition software that gave music suggestions according to the expression(mood)recorded. The whole project was written in python and the frameworks used were Keras and OpenCV in backend while using Flask on the frontend.

MEAN stack To-Do List

JavaScript, Angular, Express JS, Node JS

The whole project was written using java script and the frameworks used were angular and Express Js .The project was run on a Node Js server . The application was later hosted at AWS and it was linked to a domain name.

Review website for “Avengers:End game” using Microservice architecture

Python, Docker, Docker Compose, PostgreSQL

The project was divided into four services:- Frontend service,Backend service,PostgreSQL database service and Adminer database admin servie.The whole project was written in python and the technologies used were docker and docker compose.
