Selected Work

Engineering problems I've enjoyed solving.

An engineering story for each problem.

“How do you turn epidemiological data into actionable spatial intelligence?”

OutbreakIQ

Built a full-stack GIS platform using React, Node.js, MongoDB, and Leaflet, integrating Gemma AI for a context-aware chat assistant and grounded prevention guidance. Features interactive outbreak hotspot mapping, global epidemiological trend visualization, JWT role-based access, voice queries, and PDF generation.

“How do you keep multiple users synchronized in real time?”

SyncSpace

Built a real-time collaborative workspace with Socket.IO-based synchronization, shared notes, real-time chat, presence tracking, and debounced autosave for concurrent editing.

“How do you stop an LLM from hallucinating numerical answers?”

DataSpeak

Built a natural-language CSV analytics platform where deterministic computation handles the actual mathematics while the LLM explains pre-computed results in plain English.

ReactNode.jsLLMPandasChart.js

“How do you extract sentiment from noisy social-media text?”

TweetNLP

Developed an end-to-end PyTorch sentiment classifier using LSTM and BiLSTM + attention architectures, with evaluation through Macro F1 and confusion-matrix analysis.

PythonPyTorchLSTMBiLSTMAttentionNumPy

“How do you aggregate votes while users are voting simultaneously?”

QuickPoll

Built a real-time polling platform using Socket.IO for live vote aggregation, with JWT + bcrypt authentication and protected API routes.
