Amazon ML Challenge
Cyber Titans reached Rank 83 with a 45.35 SMAPE final submission after repeated model and evaluation iterations.
Evidence, not noise
The work has receipts.
Awards matter. Working prototypes, merged PRs, and repeatable technical decisions matter more.
TECHgium finalist teams
SmartOps reached the national final stage after a nine-month innovation journey.
Problems solved
Knight level. 2,570 submissions across 351 active days.
Selected systems
Built where the constraints are real.
Each story starts with the problem, keeps the hard parts visible, and avoids claims the evidence cannot support.
01 / AIOps prototype
SmartOps: turn an incident into an answer.
Designed a human-reviewed AI operations loop that observes failures, diagnoses the likely cause, proposes a fix, and learns from the SRE team’s feedback.

02 / Machine learning
Rank 900 was only the start.
A price-prediction system refined through leaderboard drops, better pooling, outlier control, and a final Rank 83.

03 / Edge AI accessibility
A smarter pair of glasses should protect privacy too.
An offline assistive prototype pairing wearable visual input with a Flutter app for object, text, and face assistance.

Open source
Maintainer-reviewed, not just published.
Small, precise fixes across mature Python libraries — the kind of work where the details actually matter.
Keras — Made IoU metric validation safer around out-of-bounds class IDs.
#22844SciPy — Suppressed an unknown pytest marker warning through safer backend handling.
#25209Matplotlib — Prevented a violinplot crash when an input dataset is empty.
#31707Statsmodels — Corrected residual behavior for UECM results.
#9812Optional detour
Prefer a guided tour?
Take the RR Signal Route: a light, keyboard-friendly interactive map of the work, timeline, and proof points. It opens separately, so this page stays exactly where you left it.
Voice Surrogate
On-device bilingual smart replies for non-speaking individuals. Speech in, a considered response out — without handing a conversation to the cloud.
Raki Chat
A Kotlin and Jetpack Compose chat app built around Firebase authentication, real-time messaging, MVVM, and a deliberately maintainable structure.
Biometric Voting
A controlled voting-system prototype exploring Solidity auditability alongside biometric verification, a Next.js interface, Flask services, and Arduino hardware.
Independent work / names respectfully withheld
Quiet builds. Real constraints.
A few projects were delivered privately, so the portfolio shows the problem space and the engineering work — never a client name, dataset, or claim that should stay confidential.
Job-signal verification
A workflow for classifying suspicious job listings and matching opportunities to a supplied résumé, with structured extraction from public job links.
Breast-cancer decision-support prototype
A research prototype combining tabular classification and image-led signals with nearby-care discovery. It is not a diagnostic product or medical advice.
Farm conditions, on a phone
A mobile view of wirelessly collected Arduino sensor readings so growers can check humidity and related field conditions without standing beside the hardware.
Encrypted smart-grid prediction
An ML research workflow exploring predictions over protected smart-grid data, designed around the requirement that sensitive data should not be exposed just to make a model useful.
Contact / no forms of ceremony required
Let’s make something useful.
A product idea, an AI system that needs a sanity check, or a film recommendation — Rahul reads every thoughtful note.
