Problems, approaches, results.

Three case studies in depth, then the rest of the lab.

Case 01

LoanLens

Credit risk decision intelligence · Capstone

1.1M

loan records

problem: Lenders need default predictions that are accurate on imbalanced data and explainable to borrowers.
approach: Trained XGBoost, LightGBM and Random Forest on 1.1M LendingClub records with class weighting for a 4:1 imbalance. Added SHAP per-applicant explanations and live FRED macro data at inference.
result: AUC-ROC 0.703 · 0.67 recall on held-out data, served via FastAPI + React dashboard with a GPT plain-language explainer.

Case 02

Industrial 3D Digital Twin

1st place · HackAZona, Cognite track

50+

assets modelled

Code ↗Live ↗

problem: Plant operators lack a single live view of assets, sensor health and maintenance history.
approach: Modelled 50+ assets from 2D SVG diagrams into a real-time React Three Fiber scene, wired 20+ sensor streams with anomaly alerts, and added a Gemini/Groq agent with RAG over maintenance logs and SOPs.
result: Won 1st of 25+ teams. Explainable answers with citations, plus voice-AI callouts to field staff on critical events.

Case 03

Retail Sales Analytics Platform

BigQuery warehouse + Power BI

4 yrs

of sales data

Code ↗

problem: Four years of retail data with no reliable view of performance, segments or margins.
approach: Designed a star-schema warehouse in BigQuery with partitioning and clustering, a SQL analytics layer, and DAX-driven Power BI dashboards with forecasting and MoM growth.
result: Lower scan costs, faster queries, and surfaced high-revenue / low-margin anomalies for KPI tracking.
