Hackathon - Winner

Combating Food Poverty with FareShare

In the Peak x Manchester University Data Science Society hackathon, my team and I focused on reducing vegetable waste due to expiry in FareShare Greater Manchester's warehouse.

During data exploration, we identified fruits and vegetables lost due to expiry as a major inefficiency in FareShare's system. Our solution predicted future donations and identified charities with capacity to accept more produce in advance. Minimizing the time fruits and vegetables spent idle, which is crucial to prevent spoilage.

This project was a great success, ending the year on a high note with a victory and valuable insights from industry experts.

Palantir Energy Crisis Management System

During GreatUniHack 2022, my team and I developed an Energy Crisis Management System using Palantir's Foundry platform, earning second place in the Real Impact challenge.

The project aimed to reduce energy blackouts in India's national grid by creating a live visual heatmap of overconsuming states using GeoJSON and a prediction model to proactivley indentify near-future overconsumers. It included an alert system to flag overconsuming states and allowed officials to model potential changes using Foundry's Scenario tools.

This was an enriching experience, going from no prior platform knowledge to building impactful applications within 24 hours.

House Sale Price Prediction

In this project my aim is to build a machine learning model able to predict the sale price of houses.

First we Pre-Processed a large dataset containing 89 columns to make sure all data was numeric, normalised, and Null values were replaced.

We then Built a combined model using Extreme Gradient Boosting and Lasso

After optimisation our model could predict the sale price of the houses with an RMSError of just 0.1159 based on evaluation using a separate test dataset.

Eventlite

Created an MVC web application for event management and discovery using the Java Spring framework. EventLite used Role Based Access Control to enable organizers to publish events and users to find events based on popularity or proximity. The project featured a dual-view user interface with both map (powered by Mapbox) and list views for enhanced usability and navigation. This project showcased expertise in Java Spring, MVC architecture, and Multi-Tenant Applcations.
