HELLO, I'M
Final-year B.Tech student at IIT Bhubaneswar passionate about machine learning, statistical analysis, predictive modelling and building data-driven solutions.
GET TO KNOW ME
I am a final-year B.Tech student in Metallurgical and Materials Engineering at IIT Bhubaneswar with a strong interest in Data Science, Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence.
My interests include exploratory data analysis, statistical modelling, predictive modelling, machine learning and deep learning. I enjoy working with real-world datasets and transforming data into meaningful insights and practical solutions.
Alongside academics, I have worked on machine learning, deep learning, analytics and time-series forecasting projects. I have also contributed to open-source machine learning and deep learning projects through GirlScript Summer of Code.
MY PROFESSIONAL JOURNEY
WHAT I'VE BUILT
An end-to-end Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) system that answers questions from user-provided documents using semantic retrieval, FAISS vector search, and grounded text generation.
Time-series forecasting project using LSTM to predict food delivery demand and identify demand patterns.
Developed a custom U-Net for pixel-level binary segmentation of dermoscopic skin lesions on 900 ISIC 2016 images, implementing encoder-decoder architecture, skip connections, image preprocessing, and BCE + Dice loss optimization.
Deep learning-based image classification system for detecting and classifying common solar panel defects.
End-to-end e-commerce customer churn analysis and prediction using SQL, Python, statistical analysis, machine learning, Power BI, and Streamlit.
Image-based fashion recommendation system using VGG16 embeddings and cosine similarity for visual search.
