smaller builds

  • ML & NLP from scratch — linear/logistic/softmax regression, KNN, k-means, MLP, bag-of-words, TF-IDF, CBOW, skip-gram, byte-pair encoding, naïve Bayes and an LSTM sentiment classifier, all in pure NumPy/PyTorch with no black boxes. github ↗
  • Abler — real-time multimodal accessibility assistant for the visually impaired: object detection, depth estimation, speech and gesture recognition. Won eXabyte; Best Design at Hacknoware. github ↗ demo ↗
  • IPL 2025 predictor — decision trees, random forests, MLP classifiers and Monte Carlo simulation over a full EDA pipeline, plus a score-based statistical query system. Won Brain Dead 2025. github ↗
  • Vidvaan — research-paper aggregator unifying DBLP, arXiv, OpenLibrary and OpenAlex, with Gemini summarisation.
  • Thomas Raw — agentic travel planner on Gemini + LangChain; plans itineraries, budgets, and identifies locations from photos. github ↗
  • MentL — mental wellness assistant; Best Design Award, Hacknoware 2025.
  • Where Am I? — browser-based geography guessing game.
  • Model frontends — PPG encoder and SMS spam classifier interfaces built to make the underlying models usable; awarded at Tensor Quest, Instruo 2025.
