01 · About
I'm a software engineer and MBA candidate at American University's Kogod School of Business, studying business analytics and strategy. Before school, I spent three years as a computer programmer at the U.S. Department of State in New Delhi — building scheduling and analytics systems used by 1,200+ diplomats and support staff.
Before that, I built enterprise backend infrastructure for Capital One through a fintech consultancy, aggregating data from 3,000+ sources and cutting legal notification time in half through automated validation pipelines.
These days I work on data pipelines, interactive dashboards, and AI tooling — anything where engineering complexity meets real human stakes. Outside of code, I'm a published author and photographer.

Autonomous analytics pipeline: any CSV → schema detection → descriptive stats → anomaly detection (Z-score + CUSUM) → Holt-Winters forecast → Claude AI narrative → self-contained HTML report. One command, zero configuration.
18-month forward forecast for US Retail & Food Services Sales using Holt-Winters triple exponential smoothing on Federal Reserve (FRED) data. Interactive dashboard with 80% and 95% predictive intervals, YoY growth analysis, and in-sample model diagnostics.
End-to-end data pipeline mining 9.7M+ grant records from IRS Form 990 XML archives. Interactive dashboard mapping $550B+ in philanthropic giving across 2019–2024, classified by category and visualized with Chart.js.
Other noteworthy projects
Three-algorithm statistical monitoring system (Z-score, IQR, CUSUM) applied to Federal Reserve macroeconomic data. Detects COVID unemployment shock, 2008 GFC deflation, and 2021–22 inflation acceleration across 26 years of FRED data.
Priority-aware resource scheduler: 180 meeting requests → 20 rooms, 150 personnel across 5 departments. Greedy constrained algorithm with multi-constraint conflict detection (capacity, clearance, attendee availability). Runs client-side.
Automated validation framework for multi-source data pipelines: 7 check categories (completeness, business rules, referential integrity, uniqueness) across 15 sources and 12K+ records. Health scoring with expandable per-check diagnostics.
Platform connecting first-generation college students in crisis with care resources and AI-powered triage. Gemini-backed routing surfaces the right intervention — counseling, housing, food — based on the student's situation.
Enterprise portal processing 217K+ rows of geospatial and financial grant data with AI-powered cleaning and interactive mapping. FastAPI backend with server-side filtering; React + Tailwind frontend.
Full-stack productivity platform for MBA students: peer matching, study groups, rendezvous scheduling, and collaborative notes. Supabase auth gated to .edu email addresses.
Intelligent Claude Code router that sends simple prompts to a local Ollama model and reserves API tokens for tasks that actually need them. Transparent cost-saving layer for Claude Code users.
AI simulation helping MBA students prepare digital transformation presentations through nine distinct executive personas — each with realistic objections, decision criteria, and communication styles.
Comparative macroeconomic dashboard contrasting Egypt and India across GDP growth, population, trade, and civilization history. Built for a graduate economics course at Kogod.
Local file organizer powered by Gemini 1.5 Flash: reads file content and auto-categorizes directories into semantic folders. FastAPI backend streams live move logs to a React frontend via Server-Sent Events.
MBA team project proposing 'Shape Your Solution' — an AI pre-RFP diagnostic tool for AT&T's declining $18.8B B2B segment. Full business case dashboard covering financials, architecture, security, and change management.
Enrollment analytics dashboard for Kogod MBA programs: tracks Started → Submitted → Completed → Admitted across MBA, Online, and Specialized Masters. Year-over-year comparison with domestic/international breakdowns and deposit pacing charts.
Interactive macro 'what-if' dashboard: adjust Fed funds rate, inflation, and unemployment to project retail growth and recession probability. Preset scenarios for Soft Landing, Stagflation, and Recession. Historical FRED data embedded.
Diplomatic logistics simulation: EOQ-based reorder optimization across 8 supply categories. Scenario controls for demand spikes, supply disruptions, and lead time delays. Real-time stockout risk and inventory value calculations.
