Projects

Resume-backed AI and data projects

Selected work from my AI, data engineering, analytics, backend, and systems resumes. The common thread: take a hard data problem, design the workflow around trust and scale, and make the result usable.

Explainable Vision

DermAI

Engineered a three-class dermoscopy classifier using EfficientNet, Grad-CAM overlays, SMOTE, class weighting, and augmentation for lesion interpretation.

PyTorch EfficientNet 89.6% macro F1
Database Systems

PostgreSQL B-Tree Index Optimization

Optimized PostgreSQL B-Tree index prefetching and scan behavior for OLAP benchmark queries using C, Docker, GDB, and JOB/IMDB workloads.

C PostgreSQL 15% lower latency
Graph Analytics

Customer Knowledge Graph

Migrated RDF/SPARQL graph logic to Neo4j for customer microsegmentation, KOL identification, and graph-based feature analysis.

Neo4j PageRank K-means
Analytics

Site Diversity Proposal

Used PySpark, AWS, EDA, statistical analysis, and Tableau to identify outliers and propose top diversity-rich clinical sites for trial planning.

PySpark AWS Top 10 sites
Machine Learning

Flight Price Prediction

Led a Flask-based predictive analytics app with preprocessing and feature engineering to forecast flight price fluctuations.

Flask Pandas 85%+ accuracy
Fraud Analytics

Credit Card Fraud Analysis

Built and evaluated a logistic regression model for fraudulent transaction detection with data cleaning and feature engineering.

Logistic Regression EDA 80% accuracy
Computer Vision

Social Distancing Detector

Converted video to images, isolated human objects with TensorFlow, measured distances, and highlighted social distancing violations.

TensorFlow Video Processing Python
API Product

Bulk Upload Module

Developed Angular and Flask API flows for Excel uploads, using SQL and Python microservices to improve data-heavy planner workflows.

Flask Angular PostgreSQL
REST API

Role Predictor

Deployed a Java-based AWS REST API to generate keyword weightings from submitted text and tested reliability with Postman on 500+ samples.

Java AWS Postman
Real-time Systems

Ambulance Tracking System

Led a real-time geolocation system with Firebase portals for drivers and traffic police, automating proximity alerts for emergency response.
