Industry-Grade Capstone Projects
Every project mirrors a real production problem from a real company vertical. You ship code that could go live — not a Titanic CSV with 90% accuracy.
RAG Chatbot for Enterprise Knowledge Base
Build a production-grade RAG chatbot that ingests company documents — PDFs, Confluence pages, Notion exports — chunks and embeds them into a vector store, retrieves relevant context, and generates accurate answers with source citations. Handle multi-turn conversations, hallucination guardrails, and a simple eval pipeline to measure answer quality.
Deployed chatbot with source citations, eval metrics, and a live Streamlit demo — portfolio ready.
Satellite Imagery Object Detection
Detect and classify objects — buildings, vehicles, ships, aircraft — from satellite imagery using deep learning. Fine-tune a pre-trained detection model on geospatial data, handle large tile images with a sliding window approach, and output geo-referenced bounding boxes that can be visualized on a map.
Object detection pipeline on satellite tiles with map visualization — a rare, high-impact portfolio piece.
Personal AI Assistant Agent
Build an autonomous AI assistant that manages your calendar, drafts emails, summarizes meeting notes, and executes multi-step tasks using tool calling. Wire up function calling with real APIs — Google Calendar, Gmail, Notion — and implement memory so the agent remembers context across sessions.
Multi-tool AI agent with persistent memory — demonstrates agentic AI skills interviewers are hiring for.
Text-to-Image Generation Platform
Build an image generation app using Stable Diffusion and diffusion model APIs. Implement prompt engineering techniques, negative prompts, style transfer, and image-to-image workflows. Add a web UI where users type a prompt and get styled outputs — with safety filters and cost controls for API usage.
Working image generation app with prompt controls and style presets — visual, shareable, impressive.
AI Travel Agent — Flights, Hotels & Itineraries
Build an AI-powered travel planner that takes a natural language trip request — "5 days in Bali, budget ₹80k, adventure + relaxation" — and autonomously searches flights, compares hotels, and generates a day-by-day itinerary. Uses tool calling to hit real travel APIs and returns structured, bookable recommendations.
End-to-end AI agent that plans trips with real data — a demo that wows in any interview.
AI Resume Screening & Ranking System
Build an intelligent resume screener that parses PDFs, extracts skills and experience using NLP, matches candidates against a job description using semantic similarity, and ranks them with explainable scores. Handle edge cases — career gaps, non-standard formats, multilingual CVs — and output a recruiter-ready shortlist.
Automated screening pipeline with ranking dashboard — solves a real hiring bottleneck.
Real-Time Transaction Fraud Detection
Build a fraud detection system that scores transactions in real-time. Engineer behavioral features from transaction sequences, handle extreme class imbalance, train an ensemble model, and serve predictions via API with sub-100ms latency. Add an LLM layer that generates human-readable fraud explanations for the ops team.
Real-time scoring API with explainability — classic ML + GenAI in one production system.
