Data science & machine learningMultiple Karting Championship WinsFounder of IPR Racing Team
I build machine learning and data systems, and also race karts. Both come down to the same job: get clean data, find where the time is going and fix it.
Long-term target: performance and strategy analysis.
Profile
Nashik, IndiaI finished a Bachelor of Business Administration with Computer Application at Savitribai Phule Pune University in 2025 with a 9.61 CGPA, then went all in on Data Science.
That meant the Data Science Mastery Program by IIT Madras Pravartak with GUVI and HCL, Imperial College London's mathematics for machine learning courses and two internships. At Siam Computing I worked on a unified healthcare platform: five separately built projects merged into one backend, one frontend and one role-based login.
I learn by shipping things: computer vision pipelines, fine-tuned CNNs, an analytical SQL database. Each one is linked below with its code.
Off the screen I race rental karts and run "It's Part of Racing", a karting team I founded. One of its formats is a lap-time Consistency Championship, which is really a statistics problem wearing a helmet.

Selected work
4 projects · newest first001RGB-Thermal Alignment & Change DetectionTwo computer vision pipelines in Python and OpenCV2 pipelinesFully batch-automatedDec 25 → Jan 26
Two separate problems, both solved as automated batch pipelines that run over whole folders of images.
- RGB to thermal alignment: SIFT features and a RANSAC-estimated homography warp each thermal image onto its RGB pair.
- Scene change detection: image differencing, then morphological processing and connected-component analysis to isolate objects that went missing between frames.
002Food Image Classification10-class classifier, three architectures compared≈0.94F1 scoreNov 25 → Dec 25
A full PyTorch pipeline, from data splits to an exported model.
- Stratified train, validation and test splits, image augmentation and ImageNet normalisation.
- Fine-tuned ResNet-50, ResNet-101 and EfficientNet-B0 with AdamW and a cosine learning-rate schedule, then compared them.
- Checked what the models actually learned with confusion matrices and Grad-CAM heatmaps.
- Exported the best model with TorchScript.
003Aerial Object ClassificationBird or drone, with a live web app98.6%AccuracyOct 25 → Nov 25
An end-to-end binary image classifier, built twice and compared: a custom CNN against a fine-tuned EfficientNetB0.
- Handled class imbalance in the training data.
- Built in TensorFlow and Keras, then fine-tuned the transfer-learning model.
- Deployed as a cloud-hosted Streamlit app that returns a prediction with its confidence score.
004Nutrition Paradox: Global ViewObesity and malnutrition, side by side, from WHO data25+SQL queriesAug 25 → Sep 25
Why do some countries face rising obesity and persistent malnutrition at the same time? This project builds the data to look at that question.
- ETL and feature engineering on WHO nutrition datasets.
- A SQLite analytical database with 25+ queries for trends over time and across demographics.
- Power BI dashboards that put the two sides of the paradox next to each other.
In the garage: an open Formula 1 data site with a race archive, telemetry views, driver and team comparisons, and lap-time predictors. Early stage.

Newest firstInternships 2
AI/ML Intern · Siam Computing
Three solo builds: an F1 RAG chatbot, an AI patient-intake system that writes triage reports, and an insurance navigator. The internship was then extended so I could merge five healthcare AI modules, built separately by different interns, into one platform with a single backend, a single frontend and one role-based login for doctors and patients. Free-tier APIs only.
Machine Learning Intern · MyDailyWork
Built machine learning pipelines for a credit card fraud detection system, a customer churn predictor and a text generator.

Reaction test
Five red lights, then lights out. Tap the gantry (or press Space) to arm it, then react the moment the lights go out. Go early and it is a jump start. Do five and the panel beside it scores how consistent you were.
