Project Work

Projects that show how I break down problems and ship.

2026

Resume Optimizer

Next.jsTypeScriptTailwind CSS

An AI-powered web application that analyzes and optimizes resumes against job descriptions to improve applicant tracking system (ATS) compatibility.

Problem

Job seekers struggle to tailor their resumes for specific job descriptions, often resulting in rejection by automated ATS filters.

Outcome

Developed a tool that provides actionable feedback and keyword optimization suggestions, increasing the likelihood of passing initial resume screenings.

Why I built it

This project demonstrates my ability to integrate AI capabilities into a practical, user-facing application that solves a real-world problem.

2026

Job Application Tracker

Next.jsTypeScriptTailwind CSS

A full-stack job application tracking platform with a responsive dashboard for monitoring recruiting pipelines. Integrated secure Gmail OAuth 2.0 authentication and multi-agent classification workflows to categorize recruiting emails.

Problem

Manual organization of job applications and recruiting emails is time-consuming and lacks visibility across pipelines.

Outcome

Automated status tracking and progress visualization, reducing manual effort and improving visibility across applications via email ingestion and pre-filtering.

Why I built it

This project highlights my ability to integrate third-party APIs and design intelligent workflows to solve practical organizational problems.

2026

Real-Time Full-Stack Knowledge Graph System

FastAPIPythonNode.js

A high-concurrency FastAPI backend with Server-Sent Events (SSE) to stream AI-generated responses token-by-token. Containerized a polyglot stack (Python, Node.js, Neo4j) via Docker Compose with isolated service networking.

Problem

LLM inference delays the HTTP request-response cycle, causing poor user experience due to slow time-to-first-token.

Outcome

Decoupled LLM inference from HTTP requests, reducing time-to-first-token from ~5s to <100ms. Enabled single-command reproducible deployments.

Why I built it

I built this to explore high-concurrency streaming and container orchestration, ensuring type safety and persistent volumes across a polyglot stack.

2026

Healthcare & Behavioral Insights App

SwiftCareKitiOS

A native iOS health analytics application built with CareKit to capture longitudinal patient data, support adherence tracking, and surface actionable behavioral insights.

Problem

Health-tracking experiences often split task scheduling, outcome capture, secure storage, and patient feedback into disconnected systems.

Outcome

Built an integrated iOS and backend workflow with structured persistence and visualization loops that improved engagement by 25%.

Why I built it

I wanted a project where product quality, sensitive data handling, and meaningful user behavior all mattered at once. It was a strong fit for both my engineering instincts and my interest in practical health technology.

2025

Design Space Exploration with GEM5

GEM5SimulationArchitecture

A microarchitectural exploration project evaluating cache hierarchy, issue width, and reorder buffer tradeoffs using GEM5 workloads.

Problem

Architecture decisions are often discussed qualitatively, but meaningful tradeoffs show up only when you simulate performance under changing constraints.

Outcome

Benchmarked architectural modifications and compared how different hardware choices changed performance across workloads.

Why I built it

This was a good example of the kind of technical work I enjoy: careful, evidence-driven, and rooted in tradeoff analysis rather than intuition alone.

2024

RISC-V Processor Design Using RTL

VerilogRISC-VRTL

Designed and verified a 5-stage pipelined RISC-V processor with forwarding, hazard detection, and simulation-driven validation.

Problem

Pipeline correctness depends on handling dependencies, hazards, and control flow without sacrificing throughput or observability.

Outcome

Implemented a working pipelined design with forwarding and hazard mitigation, then validated behavior through testbench-driven simulation.

Why I built it

I like architecture projects because they make performance, correctness, and design tradeoffs concrete in a way that is hard to ignore.

2021

AadharVision

FlaskOpenCVOCR

A computer-vision driven access management platform combining OCR, QR verification, occupancy monitoring, and compliance workflows.

Problem

Manual access validation and occupancy control are slow, error-prone, and hard to scale during compliance-heavy situations.

Outcome

Created a low-latency verification pipeline with automated identity validation and monitoring workflows for operational decision making.

Why I built it

This project let me combine real-time input processing, backend logic, and practical workflow design into something operationally useful instead of just technically interesting.

2020 - 2021

Smart Mirror IoT Automation Platform

IoTMQTTNode-RED

A distributed IoT automation platform using MQTT, Raspberry Pi, ESP8266, Node-RED, and Python for telemetry, orchestration, and responsive interfaces.

Problem

Edge-device systems become fragile quickly when messaging, telemetry, device coordination, and UI updates are designed independently.

Outcome

Designed an event-driven architecture that supported live telemetry, automation workflows, and real-time interface updates across connected devices.

Why I built it

I enjoy the hardware-software boundary because it forces you to think about systems end to end, not just one layer in isolation.

2018

Automation and Web Scraping Suite

PythonSeleniumAutomation

A collection of Selenium-based test suites, data extraction tools, and workflow automations built to reduce repetitive manual work.

Problem

Teams and individuals waste time when repetitive form entry, legacy data extraction, and validation work remain fully manual.

Outcome

Built automation tools that dramatically reduced repetitive effort, including one form-submission workflow that cut time by 98%.

Why I built it

Automation is one of the most direct ways to turn technical effort into time back for real people, which makes it consistently satisfying work.
