Experience
Capstone Project — FairLend
Built a fairness validation and audit platform for education-loan risk models, enabling transparent and accountable AI decision-making.
- •Designed a GenAI-powered validation pipeline to evaluate bias across 3,000+ synthetic user profiles covering diverse demographic scenarios.
- •Identified hidden algorithmic biases across five key dimensions: geographic, income, gender, credit, and edge cases
- •Developed policy-driven mitigation checks with before/after score comparisons to ensure auditability and compliance.
- •Introduced a Human-in-the-Loop feedback system, allowing auditors to iteratively refine model behavior and improve fairness metrics.
- •Delivered a dashboard for non-technical stakeholders, translating complex fairness signals into concise, actionable insights.
Software Engineering Intern
Worked on production-grade backend systems and internal platforms in a high-scale telecom environment.
- •Engineered a Voicebot Onboarding platform, reducing customer integration time by 27%.
- •Fine-tuned Speech-to-Text models for Indian languages, improving transcription accuracy in real-world scenarios.
- •Built scalable architectures (Next.js, Spring Boot, MongoDB) supporting 10,000+ concurrent requests with sub-200ms latency.
- •Integrated REST APIs with LLM fallback handling, reducing manual intervention by 40% and improving intent recognition by 25%.
- •Strengthened system reliability through robust validation and request/response optimization.
Head of Projects & Treasurer
Led technical initiatives and operations for a university-wide AI/tech community.
- •Mentored student teams on project design, ML implementation, and technical storytelling.
- •Spearheaded hackathons and workshops, framing problem statements and managing end-to-end execution for 500+ participants.
- •Oversaw budgeting, sponsorships, and financial planning to sustain large-scale community programs.
- •Conducted core team recruitment, evaluating both technical and leadership potential.
