about me

I am a graduate student at Indiana University Bloomington pursuing M.S. in Data Science
and have completed my B.Tech. in Bio-Engineeering
with Minor in Computer Science Engineering
from IIT Mandi in 2023.

My interests lie in the field of Data Science, Machine Learning and AI
..... and Game Development :)

Talk to me about AI, Rationality and EA, and I'd be happy!

Projects


Deep Learning, CNN


  • to predict and classify the type of skin cancer using dermatoscopic images uploaded by users.
  • CNN model trained on the HAM10000 dataset, which includes 10,015 dermatoscopic images spanning 7 diagnostic categories.
  • This application enables users to upload images of their skin for analysis, providing reliable disease identification and aiding users in understanding their skin health and promoting timely medical consultations and interventions.



    • NoSQL, MongoDB, PowerBI, React, Node.js


  • Designed and deployed a full-stack MERN for event booking, with role-based access control enabling organizers to list events and attendees to book tickets.
  • Utilized MongoDB as the primary database, implementing indexed schemas across three collections (events, users, and tickets) to reduce data retrieval time through efficient NoSQL document structuring, and integrated it with Power BI to for real-time data visualization.
  • Built an interactive React interface with four main components and a Node.js backend, hosted on Render.



    • Python, Flask


  • Anime Recommender .
  • Implemented Collaborative Filtering based Recommendation System for finding similar anime to user's preference.
  • Also implemented Popularity based Recommendation System for finding top 100 anime based on user ratings.



    • Machine Learning, NLP


  • Sentiment Analysis done on tweets mentioning ChatGPT shortly after its market release to identify public sentiment.
  • Data trained on different models, and hyperparameter tuned SVM resulted in the best model accuracy.



    • R, ANOVA


  • Analyzed a cholesterol level LDL measurement dataset in R using two-way ANOVA and linear regression.
  • Conducted a post-hoc test and created a scatter plot of residuals to investigate the effects of medical drugs and lifestyle factors.
