Projects

AI-Powered Heart Disease Prediction App

AI-Powered Heart Disease Prediction App

Technical project

Summary

• Developed and deployed a Random Forest Classifier model, achieving 88% accuracy and ROC-AUC of 0.91 for heart disease risk prediction. • Engineered data preprocessing pipelines (feature scaling, encoding, and hyperparameter tuning) using Scikit-learn and GridSearchCV, improving reliability by 12%. • Deployed the model via Flask web application with real-time user input and dynamic results rendering using Jinja2 templates. • Integrated CI/CD workflow with GitHub and Render for automated deployment and version control for public access.

Built a Scalable Web Infrastructure on AWS (SmartShop)

Technical project

Summary

• Architected and deployed a secure, multi-zone AWS infrastructure for a simulated e-commerce analytics platform, ensuring 99.9% uptime and high scalability. • Configured and optimized core cloud components such as VPCs, subnets, routing tables, and security groups to support distributed data processing and performance monitoring. • Reduced compute costs by 30% through efficient EC2 instance selection, load optimization, and automated scaling. • Implemented IAM policies to enforce least-privilege access and maintain data security compliance. • Documented end-to-end deployment procedures, enabling reproducibility and seamless DevOps handover.

A/B Testing on Real-Time API Data

Technical project

Summary

• Designed and executed A/B tests across 1,000+ real-world headlines to evaluate user engagement metrics • Applied hypothesis testing (t-tests) to validate statistical significance in content engagement rates, revealing 12% higher engagement for emotionally expressive headlines. • Communicated results via data visualizations and storytelling dashboards.

Analysis of the Kaggle Industry-Wide Survey

Technical project

Summary

• Analyzed 25,000+ global survey responses to identify trends in machine learning tools, salary patterns, and job satisfaction across regions. • Applied advanced data wrangling and visualization techniques to reveal correlations between experience, tool adoption, and compensation levels. • Produced reproducible analytical reports in Jupyter Notebook, translating data findings into actionable insights for workforce and skill development in the data science industry.
