Hi, I'm Sifat Sadakin

A Computer Science undergraduate at BRAC University and an aspiring software engineer, currently deepening my knowledge of system design while conducting research in computer vision.

Right now →Right now I'm researching in computer vision, working on my thesis and learning system design.

About me

A little about me

I am passionate about problem-solving with interests spanning Deep Learning, Web Programming, and Algorithms. I teach programming to freshmen, mentor, and enjoy projects that challenge my logical thinking.

When I'm not doing all that, I'm probably debugging something that was working perfectly fine five minutes ago or learning French for fun. I'm interested in meaningful conversations around tech, systems design, and applied AI.

What I'm researching

Applied AI problems where model quality matters, but efficiency, robustness and real-world use matter too.

Efficient Self-Filtered PatchCore for Unsupervised Fabric Defect Detection

Memory-bank compression, cross-dataset validation & edge deployment

I work under Senior Lecturer Shahed Alam on unsupervised fabric-defect detection with PatchCore and deep visual features, using reproducible PyTorch training, evaluation and ablation pipelines.

  • Studying memory-bank compression, self-filtering and cross-dataset generalization.
  • Measuring inference latency and edge-deployment trade-offs.
  • Helping with the literature review and manuscript.

Robust Real-vs-AI Image Detection & Generator Attribution

Self-supervised representation learning, latent-space analysis & explainable AI

Can we tell a real photo from an AI-generated one, and figure out which generator made it? I'm studying representations that hold up across unseen generators and everyday image edits.

  • Using explainable AI to interpret model decisions and failure cases.
  • Visualizing class separability in latent space.
  • Testing robustness to compression, resizing and post-processing.

Projects

Things I've built

I build in two modes.

Built from the ground up. I can walk through the architecture, code and decisions in depth.

Built with AI-assisted development to explore ideas fast and turn them into working products.

Consultation Scheduler
Repo

Faculty Consultation Routine Scheduler

Consultation hours, organized

A web system for BRAC University students and faculty to manage consultation hours more efficiently.

  • Students search faculty by course or name, build a weekly routine on a 7-day grid that blocks time conflicts, download it as a PDF, and send consultation requests.
  • Faculty log in, update their info, and approve or decline requests, with email notifications to students.

CSE110 — Interactive Java Learning Lab

Browser-based Java learning for beginners

A static, browser-based lab that takes complete beginners from first principles to exam-style problem solving, one step of the learning path at a time.

Already used by 300+ students

  • Every bundled Java example is checked against a real javac/java run during development, so the outputs shown on the site match real Java behaviour.
  • Runs fully in the browser and deploys to GitHub Pages. Live demo ↗

DSA Interview Lab

120 hours to interview-ready DSA

A visual 120-hour roadmap for Python coding interviews: 23 DSA topics, 205 curated LeetCode problems and a 40-day study plan.

  • Visual algorithm explanations, Python templates and complexity cheat sheets for every topic.
  • Tracks solved problems and daily study streaks in the browser, with dark, paper and calm themes. Live demo ↗

TaskFlow API

In development

TaskFlow API

A production-style Django REST API

A backend I'm engineering phase by phase to practise real production work: PostgreSQL, authentication, testing, Docker, CI/CD and background jobs. Still under active development.

  • Roadmap: PostgreSQL models, Django REST Framework, JWT authentication with per-user data isolation, automated tests, Docker and a CI/CD pipeline.
  • Then the production layer: Redis caching, Celery background tasks, idempotent endpoints and secure webhook integrations.
