Check out my latest work

I've worked on a variety of projects, from simple websites to complex iOS applications. Here are a few of my favorites.

Watt-IF – Electricity Data Mining and Grid Resilience Research

Conducted large-scale electricity consumption and generation mining using XGBoost, TFT, and deep learning models, achieving improved demand forecasting through advanced feature engineering. Modeled the U.S. power grid as a weighted directed graph and applied max-flow min-cut analysis to identify critical transmission bottlenecks and simulate cascading failure scenarios for Efficient Resource Allocation.

Distributed Log Analyzer using Parallel Computing

Implemented a distributed system using MPI (Message Passing Interface) in C++ to parallelize log file parsing and anomaly detection across multiple nodes, reducing analysis time by 70% for large-scale server logs. Integrated parallel reduction techniques for aggregating metrics like error rates and response times, enabling real-time monitoring and scalable debugging in cloud environments.

Stock Price Prediction using LSTM

Implemented a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) neural network to predict stock prices based on historical data. The model leverages time-series forecasting techniques, processes real-time stock data using yfinance, and scales data with MinMaxScaler for improved performance. It predicts the next day's stock price and visualizes results against actual market data. The architecture consists of stacked LSTM layers with dropout regularization to enhance prediction accuracy while preventing overfitting.

CIFAR-10 Image Classification using CNN

Developed a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) to classify images from the CIFAR-10 dataset, which contains 60,000 images across 10 categories (airplanes, cars, birds, etc.). The model was trained using TensorFlow and Keras, achieving an accuracy of approximately 72%. The architecture includes 3 convolutional layers with MaxPooling for feature extraction.

Hackathons

I like hacking things (a lot)

During my time in university, I attended 4+ hackathons. It was eye-opening to see the endless possibilities brought to life by a group of motivated and passionate individuals within 2-3 days. I have made some of my best friends and memories at these hackathons :)
