Things I've built

SwiftPredict

I got tired of copying and pasting preprocessing and model training loops for every new dataset, so I built SwiftPredict. It's a single-command AutoML library that handles imputation, encoding, and training end-to-end. I rewrote v2 to make the CLI deterministic and published it to PyPI.

  • Reduced ML experimentation time by ~90% and boilerplate code by ~95%
  • Published to PyPI — pip install swiftpredict-v2
Python Scikit-learn FastAPI PyPI

MindHaven

My submission for the Google GenAI Hackathon 2025. I built a production-grade RAG pipeline from scratch. It features user-isolated database encryption using Fernet, multi-turn conversation memory, and streaming audio support. I also ran LLM evaluation scripts to benchmark Gemini's empathy metrics.

LangChain ChromaDB Gemini Celery FastAPI

Keiro

An adaptive RAG gateway proxy and query router service. Written in Golang (router proxy and semantic cache gateway) and Python (gRPC intelligence service classifying query complexity). Minimizes LLM usage costs and query latency.

  • Low latency gRPC orchestration between Go gateway and Python services
  • Embedded LRU semantic cache resulting in 0.8ms average query response times on hits

Multi-Agent Refiner

I designed a multi-agent system where five specialized LangChain agents (Writer, Syntax Fixer, Optimizer, Doc Generator, and Reviewer) peer-review and optimize code. By orchestrating their communication using FastAPI, I observed a 40% improvement in complexity metrics.

LangChain FastAPI MongoDB OpenAI

DCGAN Digit Generator

To deeply understand GAN dynamics, I built a DCGAN from scratch using PyTorch. I ran into mode collapse early on, which I resolved by implementing one-sided label smoothing and mini-batch discrimination. I tracked FID scores over 200 epochs to measure visual quality.

PyTorch GANs MNIST

Samudra Sachet

I was the Team Lead and Backend/AI Engineer for this Smart India Hackathon 2025 project. We built a disaster response platform. I combined computer vision (OpenCV) and NLP pipelines for hazard classification, and mapped live disaster hotspots using DBSCAN spatial clustering with PostGIS.
