Who I am

I'm a Computer Science undergraduate specialising in Data Science, with a strong focus on turning raw data into actionable insight and practical solutions. I work with Python, SQL, Pandas, NumPy, Power BI, and data visualisation tools.

My experience spans AI-based speech systems, data preprocessing pipelines, analytics workflows, and ML model deployment. I focus on understanding data deeply and solving real business problems.

Actively preparing for Data Analyst, Data Science, and Software roles. Open to internships and entry-level opportunities. Also learning German 🇩🇪 on the side.

Featured work

Project 01 · Live on Streamlit
Cost-Sensitive Real-Time Fraud Detection System
Situation
Financial fraud causes billions in losses. Standard models ignore cost asymmetry between missed fraud and false alarms.
Action
Cost-sensitive ML pipeline weighting false negatives higher, with real-time dashboard and SHAP explainability.
Result
Deployed live app with measurable risk reduction vs standard classifiers.
PythonScikit-learnStreamlitXAI
Project 02 · Live on Streamlit
Domain-Agnostic Explainable Recommendation Engine
Situation
Most recommendation systems fail cold-start scenarios and give zero explanation for why something is recommended.
Action
TF-IDF + semantic similarity engine with cold-start support and human-readable explanations per recommendation.
Result
Live drag-and-drop app. Works across movies, jobs, products and more.
NLPTF-IDFSemantic SimilarityStreamlit
Project 03 · Live on Streamlit
Explainable HR Attrition Risk System
Situation
HR teams lack early warning systems — companies lose top talent without knowing why until too late.
Action
ML classification model with SHAP-based explainability identifying at-risk employees via interactive dashboard.
Result
Live app bridging ML output and business decision-making with plain-English explanations.
MLSHAPXAIHR Analytics
Project 04 · Live on Streamlit
Explainable Job Scam Risk Detection System
Situation
Millions of fake job postings target students globally with no reliable detection tool available.
Action
NLP + ML pipeline classifying job postings with confidence scores and SHAP feature attribution.
Result
Paste any job description — get instant fraud risk score with transparent reasoning.

Project 05 · Internship Deliverable
Speech-to-Text — Indian Languages (Flask)
Situation
Hostingsignal required a working ASR app for multilingual Indian users — a highly underserved NLP domain.
Action
Flask-based web app using SpeechRecognition API supporting multiple Indian languages with real-time processing.
Result
Fully functional deployed web application — direct production deliverable.
FlaskPythonNLPASR
Project 06 · Analytics
Data Dashboard Visualisation
Situation
Raw datasets rarely tell a story — decision-makers need visual dashboards to identify trends fast.
Action
Interactive Python dashboard using Plotly and Pandas transforming raw datasets into narrative-driven reports.
Result
End-to-end analytics pipeline: data storytelling from ingestion to insight.
