◦ Developed an AI/ML-based predictive model to optimize fantasy cricket team selection for the Indian Premier League 2025, leveraging historical player data, pitch conditions, and weather to maximize fantasy points across 15+ matches.
◦ Implemented Gradient Boosted Regressor and constraint optimization algorithms using PuLP to ensure adherence to fantasy sports rules, including a 100-credit budget and team composition constraints.
◦ Processed and analyzed large-scale cricket ball-by-ball datasets from Cricsheet, Kaggle, and ESPNcricinfo, performing feature engineering to create batting and bowling feature sets for player performance prediction.

◦ Architected a zero-knowledge vault using envelope encryption (AES-256-GCM) with a master/data key hierarchy and automatic rotation. Optimized decryption performance via Redis caching and enforced database security using Supabase RLS and immutable audit logs.
◦ Developed a CLI for secret synchronization, engineering automated safeguards like git-tracked file blocking and pre-commit hooks to prevent credential leaks. Implemented the RBAC and Just-in-Time (JIT) GitHub integration to dynamically provision access to repository collaborators.

◦ Worked on a Vision Transformer (ViT-B/16) model fine-tuned on the CIFAKE dataset (100k+ images) to classify real vs AI-generated images.
◦ Achieved 98.5% accuracy and a 98.2% F1-score in the standard test set and maintained robustness against adversarial examples.
◦ Optimized training with GPU acceleration (CUDA), reducing training time by 85%.

◦ Designed the application interface using Figma and Adobe Photoshop, which was later developed in Android Studio.
◦ Built an RFID-based system in Python to track hospital facilities availability in real time.
◦ Integrated Google Maps API to discover nearby hospital facilities to users.

◦ Engineered a ticketing platform that reduces manual booking effort by 70%, enabling seamless booking options.
◦ Redesigned and optimized the website to align with the brand identity, resulting in a 79% increase in website clicks.

◦ Organised and managed the backend operations for Techwiz 2024, an event presented by Coding Ninjas and GDG ITER, attended by 200+ students.
◦ Served as a key anchor for the Google Solution Challenge 2025, along with Google Tech Winter Break.

• Secured First Prize (Rs. 10 Lakhs) in Dream11 Gameathon 2.0, competing against 40+ teams from Tier-1 universities across India, as part of a Rs. 25 Lakh prize pool.
• Finished 7th in Pravaah ML Hackathon, organized by IIT Bhubaneswar.
• Achieved 1st Rank in the Science Olympiad organized by the Science Olympiad Foundation and also qualified for the state level.
• Qualified in the internals of the Smart India Hackathon 2024 conducted by the college with a rank of 11 out of 800+ participants.
