Elevvo Pathways allowed me to turn my ML theory into working, deployed systems. I joined as a Machine Learning Intern & worked across the full pipeline — from raw data & feature engineering to model training, evaluation & deployment.
My focus was never just on building models that perform well in a notebook, but on shipping products that real people can interact with.

•Built CineAI, a movie recommendation engine implementing User-Based Collaborative Filtering, Item-Based Collaborative Filtering & SVD Matrix Factorization from scratch on MovieLens 100K, achieving 15.29% Precision@10 & deploying it as a full Streamlit web application.

•Engineered Walsaler.ai, a dual-model retail forecasting system trained on 421,570 Walmart records across 45 stores, combining Random Forest & Gradient Boosting into an ensemble that hit 91.81% accuracy, with 31 custom-engineered features & a Next.js 15 dashboard for live "What-If" simulations.

•Developed ForestMind, a forest cover classification system trained on 581,012 terrain cells from Roosevelt National Forest, predicting 7 tree species using only cartographic & environmental data, with Random Forest achieving 85.0% accuracy & deployed as an interactive web app.

•Created Purrfect Grades, a student score predictor built on a Linear Regression model trained on 6,607 student records, factoring in sleep, tutoring, peer influence & resource access to predict final exam scores, deployed as a fully interactive web app with a custom HTML5 Canvas interface.

•Deployed all projects as production-ready full-stack applications using Python, FastAPI, Streamlit & Next.js 15, ensuring every model was accessible, interactive & built for real use, not just evaluation metrics.
