Projects

Projects

Below are my projects mainly on Software development, Machine Learning, Data Analytics, and Artificial Intelligence

Real-Estate Management System | Full-Stack, DBMS

Full-stack deployed production level real-estate management application that has clients, agents, and admin; Agent can add properties, manage viewings, sales, and transactions; Client can view properties, schedule viewings, write reviews on properties and agents, start a transaction for a property; Admin can manage the entire application and has an overall view.

RoadSense - Predict the Severity of Road Accidents | ML, XGBoost

A machine learning system that classifies accidents as Lethal vs Non-Lethal using rich road, vehicle, user and environment data. XGBoost demonstrated the best sensitivity to Lethal cases while maintaining stable performance across folds. Ended up in the 14th position amongst 980 teams in the Kaggle competition.


Commercial Property Valuation Prediction | ML, Random Forest

A comparative analysis of regression-based machine learning models for predicting property market valuation using the New York City Property Valuation and Assessment dataset. The study evaluates three regression models—Linear Regression, Random Forest Regressor, and Gradient Boosting Regressor—to determine their predictive effectiveness. The tuned Random Forest model achieved the strongest overall balance between bias, variance, and interpretability.

Guardians Gambit | AI, Reinforcement Learning

A RL-based multi-agent game that represents a heist scenario where a thief attempts to steal a cash bag from one of the rooms in the bank without being detected by the security camera or the security guard.


Image Manipulation and Enhancement | Java, Swing

Using design patterns in Java, created an MVC model with 3 modes (GUI, text-based, and script file ) where an image can be loaded, and various operations like save, blur, sharpen, sepia, etc. can be performed on an image.
