Haraks Kaur Duggal

This is not your average portfolio. You are about to go on a short adventure — 5 chapters, one person, zero boring bullet points.

✦ Chapter 1 — The Origin Story

You have just landed on
Haraks's world.

Somewhere in the world, a girl is simultaneously training a deep learning model, editing campus event videos, and mentally rewriting her LinkedIn bio to sound more like herself. That is Haraks Kaur Duggal — 3rd year B.Tech CSE student at Amity University, with a minor at IIT Mandi. A researcher by day, creative by night, and quietly building something big the entire time.

✦ Chapter 2 — The Lab
✦ Current Role
AI / ML Intern · Tynor Orthotics
Working directly with the Managing Director · Building AI assistants

Tynor Orthotics is India's largest manufacturer and exporter of orthopedic appliances and fracture aids, founded in the early 1990s near Chandigarh. It runs one of Asia's largest orthopedic R&D facilities (TORNADO), produces over 250 products across 20 categories, and exports to more than 60 countries. Here, Haraks works hands-on with the MD to design and build AI assistants for the business.

✦ Research Internship
ML Research Intern · IIT Ropar
Summer 2025 · Agricultural ML Research

At IIT Ropar, Haraks built ML pipelines to understand agriculture through sound and sight — processing over 1,000 audio samples, extracting Mel Spectrograms, training and comparing CNNs, and pushing model accuracy to ~85% under real-world noisy conditions. The research was selected for Ministry-level review.

✦ Chapter 3 — The Builder

She does not just study.
She ships.

Six projects, six wildly different domains — bees, video, nutrition, art, energy systems, and QR verification. Each one a full system built from scratch, because Haraks does not do halfway.

01
🐝 Bee Audio Analysis
Jun to Aug 2025 · Machine Learning
End-to-end bioacoustic ML system for bee health monitoring. Mel Spectrogram extraction paired with CNN training and noise robustness testing. Bees matter, and the model learned that.

🎮 Quick Quiz — Were you paying attention?
What accuracy did Haraks achieve on her IIT Ropar ML model?
✓ Nailed it! ~85% under real-world noisy conditions. Genuinely impressive for bioacoustic classification.
Close! It was ~85%, achieved under noisy real-world conditions too, which makes it even more impressive.

She is also just
really doing it
in real life.
