LNCT Tech Savy Quiz Platform & Assessment Engine
Engineered and deployed a full-cycle automated testing system designed specifically for high-integrity academic competitions. Built for the prestigious Lakshmi Narain College of Technology (LNCT), powering the annual “Tech Savy” quiz examination under concurrent student loads.
Client-side tick with server-side validation. Auto-locks question containers and initiates instantaneous auto-submission at zero seconds.
Custom CSV/Dataframe manager dynamically ingests concurrent user inputs, calculating instant accuracy percentiles and leaderboard generation.
Decoupled DOM question state with randomized question IDs to prevent lateral peer-cheating and browser caching tampering.
Configured WSGI workers, automated session flushing, and high uptime during heavy examination bursts.
What is the asymptotic memory footprint of an in-place QuickSort partitioned array when using tail-call optimization?
// Production & Research Portfolio
Engineered Systems & AI Builds
High-impact machine learning classifiers, automated pipelines, and community platforms.
Herbs Classification Using Deep CNN
Trained and evaluated a convolutional neural network across 3,500 botanical leaf samples, achieving 90% classification accuracy. Implemented automated image pre-processing, normalization kernels, and deployed an interactive Flask prediction endpoint. Selected as a Finalist in the Bansal Group National Ideathon.
Synthetic Data Augmentation & Generation
Engineered an automated synthetic augmentation pipeline utilizing OpenCV and NumPy affine transformations to solve severe class imbalance. Expanded training datasets by 400% and propelled model accuracy upwards from 60% to 87% on edge validation sets.
Animals with Humanity Camp Platform
Architected a full desktop data-management and camp intake platform for animal welfare teams. Replaced chaotic paper logs with encrypted automated record keeping, boosting dispatch and medical triage efficiency by 90% at $0 software license overhead.
Hack The Mountains API Security Audit
While participating in Major League Hacking (MLH) Hack The Mountains, I discovered an issue with the Lemma.build API where image inputs were not being correctly sent to the server. I reported the issue to the team, and the problem was subsequently fixed.
