Projects

DocuQuery AI Assistant

A production-ready RAG assistant that lets users query complex documents and get fast, low-latency, context-aware answers.

Stack: LangGraph · Gemini · FAISS/Pinecone · RAG · Hybrid search · Hugging Face Spaces

Key Features:

  • Built and deployed a production RAG system (LangGraph + Gemini + FAISS/Pinecone) that reduced document analysis time by ~75% while maintaining low-latency inference (1.5–4.0s).
  • Improved retrieval precision by ~30% by architecting a hybrid search pipeline (semantic + BM25 + TF-IDF + cross-encoder reranking), decreasing irrelevant context and increasing answer relevance consistency.
  • Delivered end-to-end user workflows with document preview (full-text and chunk-level), cross-document comparison, and one-click export (TXT/PDF/DOCX), increasing task completion efficiency by ~40%.
  • Stabilized and productionized deployment on Hugging Face Spaces by implementing robust error handling and fallback logic, reducing startup crashes and runtime failures by ~90%.

Amazon Stock Forecasting Dashboard

An interactive dashboard using LSTM models and technical indicators to forecast Amazon stock trends.

Stack: Streamlit · Python · LSTM/Seq2Seq · RSI · MACD · Bollinger Bands

Key Features:

  • Developed a real-time stock forecasting dashboard using Linear Regression, LSTM, and Seq2Seq LSTM models to assist traders in analyzing Amazon (AMZN) stock trends.
  • Integrated technical indicators (RSI, MACD, Bollinger Bands) across 6,300+ daily records (2000–2025), enhancing visibility into trading signals.
  • Reduced forecasting error by 49% over baseline (MAPE improved from 17.45% to 8.86%) using Seq2Seq LSTM.
  • Incorporated sentiment analysis from Yahoo Finance and implemented backtesting to evaluate model effectiveness in real-time environments.

Human Action Recognition Using CNN Models
