PROJECTS

Customer Churn Prediction System

Duration : 20-Jun-2026 - 26-Jun-2026

<p>Built an end-to-end telecom churn prediction system using Python, XGBoost, Scikit-learn, and</p><p>Streamlit. Handled class imbalance via SMOTE, applied label encoding and data preprocessing on</p><p>the Telco dataset, and tuned hyperparameters using RandomizedSearchCV - achieving a weighted F1</p><p>score of 0.91 on a heavily imbalanced dataset. Deployed as an interactive Streamlit web app supporting</p><p>real-time predictions and customer risk assessment.</p>

PDF QnA Bot

Duration : 13-Jun-2026 - 19-Jun-2026

<p>Built an end-to-end RAG-based PDF Question Answering chatbot using Python, LangChain, Google</p><p>Gemini, and Streamlit. Implemented a full retrieval-augmented generation pipeline - loading and</p><p>chunking PDFs via PyPDFLoader and RecursiveCharacterTextSplitter, embedding chunks using Gemini</p><p>Embeddings, storing vectors in an InMemoryVectorStore, and retrieving top-k semantically similar</p><p>chunks at query time. Integrated Gemini 2.5 Flash as the LLM with a context-grounded prompt to prevent hallucination. Deployed as an interactive Streamlit web app with persistent chat history and</p><p>real-time document Q&A.</p>

Local RAG AI Agent

Duration : 06-Jun-2026 - 12-Jun-2026

<p>Built a local Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) system that answers natural language questions</p><p>about restaurant reviews using LangChain, ChromaDB, and Llama 3.2 via Ollama. Converted CSV</p><p>review data into vector embeddings using mxbai-embed-large, stored in a persistent ChromaDB vector</p><p>database. Implemented semantic retrieval to fetch top-5 relevant reviews per query, passed as context</p><p>to a locally running Llama 3.2 model to generate grounded, hallucination-guarded answers.</p>

Domain-Specific Chatbot Fine-Tuning (Qwen2.5)

Duration : 31-May-2026 - 05-Jun-2026

<p>Fine-tuned Qwen2.5-1.5B-Instruct using LoRA on a 55-conversation Hindi/Hinglish astrology chat</p><p>dataset, training under 0.3% of total parameters for efficient domain adaptation Built a data-cleaning</p><p>pipeline to parse malformed JSON conversation logs into HuggingFace Dataset format for supervised</p><p>fine-tuning via TRL’s SFTTrainer Debugged multi-GPU device conflicts, CUDA compatibility issues,</p><p>and dependency errors across Kaggle/Colab environments to get training running end-to-end</p>
