Built an XGBoost loan approval classifier achieving ~85% accuracy; integrated SHAP for transparent, explainable fintech risk decisions — deployed as a full-stack FastAPI + React app with JWT auth on Render and Vercel. Performed large-scale EDA on 307,511 Home Credit loan applications across 122 features, identifying default risk drivers through correlation analysis, behavioral flags, and strategic missing-value imputation. Developed a TF-IDF + SMOTE NLP pipeline on 24,000+ records for imbalanced hate speech classification; benchmarked multiple models and selected the best by F1-score.

Jaipur, Rajasthan, India

Built ML classifiers for hate speech and spam detection using Scikit-learn pipelines with TF-IDF vectorisation, achieving 90%+ precision across both tasks. Performed EDA on 10,000+ records using Pandas, NumPy, Matplotlib, and Seaborn; reduced model error rate by 15% through systematic feature engineering and hyperparameter tuning. Delivered weekly analysis reports translating model outputs into actionable insights for internal stakeholders.

About

I built and deployed a full-stack AI credit scoring system — alone, as an undergrad — that predicts loan approvals at ~85% accuracy and explains every decision using SHAP. I'm a final-year B.Tech AI/ML student at NIMS University, Jaipur, building end-to-end ML systems at the intersection of financial risk, fraud detection, and explainable AI. My work spans the full pipeline: data wrangling on 300,000+ record datasets, feature engineering, model training with XGBoost, and production deployment on Render and Vercel. At Onestop.AI, I built NLP classifiers for hate speech and spam detection that crossed 90% precision — and reduced model error by 15% through systematic feature engineering and hyperparameter tuning across 10,000+ records. Right now I'm deepening my work in GenAI, LangChain orchestration, and LLM-powered financial applications — and building ChhatisPaisa, a finance + AI education brand that documents real money decisions for Indian students.
