M.Tech AI & Data Science Data Scientist Machine Learning Artificial Intelligence
I build intelligent systems that turn data into decisions.
I design, build and deploy data-driven applications — from an AI business-intelligence platform and an automated data science engine running in production, to privacy-preserving federated learning research for healthcare prediction.

01 About
Working where data engineering meets applied AI.
I work at the intersection of machine learning, data analytics and applied AI — building systems that move from raw, messy data to useful insight and, eventually, to an automated decision. Most of what I build ends up deployed, not left in a notebook.
I'm currently completing an M.Tech in Artificial Intelligence & Data Science at Parul University, Vadodara, after a B.Tech in Information Technology at Silver Oak University. Alongside coursework, I've shipped two production web platforms — one for AI-assisted business intelligence, one for automated data science — and I'm running research into privacy-preserving federated learning for healthcare prediction.
The engineering half matters to me as much as the modelling. Cloud databases, environment-based configuration, serverless constraints, CI/CD — a model is only useful once somebody else can reach it, and keeping it reachable is part of the job.

04 Projects
Three systems, one trajectory.
Each project moves one step further up the stack — from analytics, to automated machine learning, to privacy-preserving AI research.
BI Copilot
AI-Powered Business Intelligence Platform
A full-stack business intelligence copilot. Users upload a business dataset and the platform runs automated analysis, visualization, prediction and anomaly detection, with an AI assistant layered on top for natural-language questions about the data.
- Automated analysis of CSV / XLSX business datasets
- AI copilot for natural-language data assistance
- Predictive analytics, anomaly detection & data-quality profiling
- Deployed on Vercel with Aiven Cloud MySQL and a custom domain
Data Scientist Agent 2.0
AI-Powered Automated Data Analysis & ML Platform
A production-deployed automated data science platform. Upload a CSV and it profiles the dataset, runs exploratory analysis and statistics, generates visualizations, and drives machine learning workflows end to end — all through the browser, with analysis history persisted.
- Automated profiling: shape, dtypes, missing values, dataset statistics
- Automated EDA and visualization with Matplotlib & Seaborn
- Model building and evaluation workflows
- Re-architected storage to survive a serverless filesystem — see case study
Privacy-Preserving Federated Learning
for Healthcare Prediction · Adaptive Differential Privacy
A federated learning platform where multiple simulated healthcare institutions collaboratively train a shared model without exchanging raw patient records. Adaptive differential privacy adjusts gradient clipping and noise during training to balance model utility against privacy cost under heterogeneous, non-IID data.
- FedAvg aggregation across simulated healthcare clients
- Adaptive gradient clipping and adaptive noise multiplier
- RDP-based privacy accounting, tracking ε at a given δ
- Explainable AI with SHAP and a four-way experimental comparison
Earlier work
- Credit Card Fraud Detection — classification on a highly imbalanced financial transaction dataset in Python.
- Exploratory Data Analysis of Car Features — EDA on a Kaggle dataset, surfacing relationships between specification, pricing and category.

Privacy-Preserving Federated Learning for Healthcare Prediction
Training a useful model on sensitive data you are never allowed to centralise — and measuring exactly what privacy costs you.
Adaptive Differential Privacy in a federated setting.
Healthcare data is exactly the kind of data that benefits most from machine learning and is least likely to be shared. Federated learning removes the need to pool it — but model updates themselves can leak information. This work adds differential privacy to federated training, and makes the privacy mechanism adaptive rather than fixed, so the noise budget responds to training rather than being set once and forgotten.
Problem
Institutions holding patient data cannot pool it, and static differentially private training tends to over-noise early rounds and under-protect later ones.
Approach
Federated training with FedAvg, per-client gradient clipping and Gaussian noise, where the clipping threshold and noise multiplier adapt across rounds.
Accounting
Rényi Differential Privacy accounting tracks the cumulative privacy budget, reporting ε at a chosen δ rather than treating privacy as qualitative.
Heterogeneity
Clients are partitioned both IID and non-IID via a Dirichlet distribution, so the method is evaluated under realistic data skew.
