Independent and team projects
These projects are separate from my employment. Each report includes interactive charts, implementation details and limitations.
Team hackathon project
Our team placed third nationally at Zomato Hackanoodle and presented the prototype to Deepinder Goyal. The report explores synthetic demand, supply trade-offs and the limits of the archived model.
Android, Django, SQLite and a Keras LSTM experiment.
GPS analysis and prediction
Six hours of GPS observations from 6,065 buses reveal differences in road speeds and service gaps. Arrival-model comparisons show what this short collection window can support.
GTFS-Realtime, pandas and LightGBM.
Retrieval prototype
A contract-aware retrieval pipeline uses 644 documents and a ten-question diagnostic evaluation. The report examines retrieval and answer quality. The year refers to the benchmark's publication.
LangChain, Chroma, OpenAI and Ragas.
Exploratory data analysis
A 0.75% sample from 38.3 million records supports an analysis of demand, geography, speed and fares. The report also explains the limits of interpreting recorded tips.
Python, pandas and GeoPandas.
