LearnEx

Completed

Aug 2026

A full-stack e-learning platform where students can browse, buy, and take courses online, and admins can manage everything from a separate dashboard. LearnEx has three parts: a student-facing site, an admin dashboard (deployed as a separate application), and a backend server.

Engineering highlights

  • Course creation wizard with support for videos and images via Cloudinary
  • Secure payment processing integrated through Stripe SDK
  • Live notifications powered by Socket.io for real-time updates
  • Analytics dashboard showing user, order, and revenue trends over 12 months using Chart.js
  • CMS-like admin panel to update homepage hero, FAQs, and categories without touching code
  • Multi-provider authentication with email, Google, and GitHub (NextAuth + JWT)
  • Redis caching layer for API responses to improve performance
  • Centralized error handling so failed requests don't crash the app
  • Auth tokens stored in HTTP-only cookies with bcrypt password hashing for security

CampusGuard

Completed

Sep 2025 - Jun 2026

A smart campus safety and inquiry management platform engineered as my final-year capstone (awarded A+). Built around a custom 9,000+ image dataset and a 91% accurate hybrid ResNet50 + CBAM + custom head computer vision model, backed by FastAPI, AWS RDS PostgreSQL, Amazon S3, and role-based workflows for Admins, Guards, and CSA.

Engineering highlights

  • Built and labeled a custom university suspicious activity dataset of 9,000+ images across 7 activity classes (2 research papers currently under review)
  • Trained a hybrid ResNet50 + CBAM + custom head deep learning architecture achieving 91% accuracy for automated incident detection
  • Architected a complete digital inquiry management system replacing manual paper workflows with role-based access for Admin, Security Guards, and CSA
  • Engineered end-to-end incident pipeline spanning automated detection, instant real-time alerts, guard dispatch, evidence collection, and CSA departmental inquiry tracking
  • Built FastAPI backend service integrated with AWS RDS PostgreSQL for relational case histories and Amazon S3 for secure snapshot storage

A full-stack AI-powered technical interview platform that generates contextual interview questions, enables voice-based answers via speech-to-text, and delivers automated AI evaluation with detailed analytics.

Engineering highlights

  • Integrated Google Gemini AI (gemini-2.5-flash) for contextual technical question generation and automated performance evaluation
  • Integrated native Web Speech API for real-time speech-to-text voice answer input
  • Implemented OTP email verification, JWT authentication with HTTP-only cookies, and bcrypt password hashing
  • Built comprehensive performance analytics dashboards with score tracking and interview history using Recharts
  • Applied rate-limiting caps (3 interviews/day) on RESTful endpoints to optimize AI token consumption and prevent abuse
