Implemented CopyCatcher (https://github.com/nataliest/copycatch), a computer vision powered service that quickly filters almost 600GB of Open Images Dataset files to find a copy of an uploaded image

Set up a Spark cluster for running image upload and comparison scripts, AWS Elasticache/Redis for storing image tags and metadata, and S3 for storing raw image files; utilized Bash and Python libraries

Compared performance of databases (Redis vs. Neo4j) to find the best fit for cataloguing the dataset

Created a web application showing detailed image upload and comparison statistics using Flask and HTML/CSS.
