Vivek DevappallyShivanna
Big Data & AI Developer
AI-focused Master's student specializing in intelligent systems, data visualization, and scalable software development. Transforming complex data into actionable insights.
Hello!
Building intelligent systems that bridge software engineering and machine intelligence
Currently pursuing my Master's in Big Data and Artificial Intelligence at SRH Hochschule Berlin, I'm passionate about creating AI-driven solutions that make a real impact.
As a Software Developer at IAV GmbH Berlin, I develop interactive dashboard visualizations for automotive data systems using JavaScript, TypeScript, and Three.js, while contributing to AI image understanding workflows.
My journey spans from building e-commerce platforms that generated $100k in revenue to creating food delivery applications serving 500+ orders daily—always with a focus on performance and user experience.

How Can AI Systems Be Made to Understand and Process Abstract Concepts
Alexander I. Iliev, Vivek Devappally Shivanna, Amirreza Soltani, Sanjeeth Chittyala
- →Led the experimental section by implementing five major embedding methods—t-SNE, PCA, LSA, Word2Vec, and Autoencoders—to model abstract concepts such as Freedom, Justice, Love, Happiness, and Knowledge.
- →Carried out full text-preprocessing using TF-IDF, designed numerical representations, and developed pipelines for dimensionality reduction and embedding generation.
- →Applied K-Means clustering and computed silhouette scores to quantitatively evaluate the semantic separability of different embedding models.
- →Built multiple 3D visualizations to compare embedding behaviours (cluster compactness, inter-cluster spacing, nonlinear structure retention, semantic preservation).
- →Contributed to analyzing the role of neural-symbolic reasoning, predictive coding, information geometry, and hypervector embeddings in improving conceptual reasoning in AI.
Design and Implementation of Smart Solar Panel Cleaning System
Vivek DS , Vaishali NB, V N Suraj Kumar, Devaraju D, Akshay Kumar R,
- →Developed and programmed the Arduino Uno firmware that controls the entire cleaning mechanism.
- →Implemented motor timing logic based on system calculations (rpm → linear distance → cleaning time).
- →Integrated the Arduino with the L298N motor driver to automate forward/reverse movement for complete panel sweeping.
- →Built logic for remote control of the system via a mobile app interface.
- →Participated in prototyping, testing, and refining the single-motor Locher rack mechanism for efficient dry cleaning.
An Efficient Automatic Solar Panel Cleaning System for Roof-top Solar PV System
Vivek DS , Devaraju D, V N Suraj Kumar, Akshay Kumar R, Galiveeti Hemakumar Reddy
- →Programmed the Arduino Uno for full automation of the cleaning system, including time-based scheduling, PIR-sensor analysis, and servo motor control.
- →Implemented control logic for the pump, wiper mechanism, LCD display, and relay module for system switching.
- →Integrated NodeMCU (IoT) with the Arduino using the Blynk mobile application to enable remote ON/OFF control.
- →Conducted testing and calibration of PIR sensor thresholds, servo angles, and timing to ensure reliable cleaning performance.
- →Assisted in hardware assembly, connection design, and overall prototype validation.
