3D Hand Model Analysis System

Python data processing pipeline and AWS-hosted FastAPI backend for automated 3D hand model analysis in a production-grade healthcare research application.

Overview

At Iowa State University's NextGen PPT Lab, I work on software for automated 3D hand model measurement and analysis. The system supports healthcare research workflows where consistency, data accuracy, and faster measurement turnaround are central goals.

What I Built

Developed an automated 3D hand model analysis system in Python.
Created a data processing pipeline that eliminated manual measurement errors and increased measurement speed by 400%.
Maintain an AWS-hosted FastAPI backend with integrated AI processing.
Manage PostgreSQL-backed data workflows and cloud operations for a production-grade healthcare research application.
Collaborate with the research team to standardize measurement protocols and improve data accuracy.
