Beat the Bot: Real-Time AI Stock Prediction Challenge
Repo
Developed a cloud-based, gamified financial analytics platform on AWS. Users compete against an AI to predict stock prices in real time. Built ML pipelines, scalable backend (Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, EventBridge), automated CI/CD with GitHub Actions, containerized services with Docker, and deployed the frontend via Amplify. Integrated AWS SES for notifications and ensured audit-ready data integrity. -
Blockchain & Crypto Projects
- USDT-ETH Trading Smart Contract (Solidity & Chainlink Oracles)
- ETH Price Prediction ML Model

Enhancing Fairness in Open-Source AI Text Detectors
Repo
Research on reducing bias in GPT text detectors for non-native English writers. Implemented domain-adaptive fine-tuning, ensemble methods, and threshold calibration. -
Independent Study: Quantum Algorithms with Qiskit: Implemented Groverโs Search and VQE in Qiskit, validating correctness via simulation and noise models. Optimized parameterized quantum circuits using classical optimization to improve convergence and reduce errors. Designed experiments to evaluate hybrid quantum-classical algorithms for accuracy, scalability, and efficiency. Repo
