I built and deployed CareerLens AI, a full-stack career analytics platform that’s live with real users. It includes resume analysis, ATS scoring, skill-gap analysis, learning roadmaps, job recommendations, mock interviews, and an analytics dashboard.

For CareerLens AI, I developed a machine-learning pipeline using XGBoost and TF-IDF, with cosine-similarity skill-gap analysis and OCR-based resume data extraction. I also built 56 REST API endpoints with FastAPI and JWT authentication.

I maintain the live product by troubleshooting issues across its React frontend, FastAPI backend, and MongoDB. To optimize resume parsing, I added a literal-text prefilter that skips skill regexes that cannot match.

I also built SkillForge, a course marketplace where instructors publish courses and students browse and purchase them, with an in-course quiz engine and progress tracking. I’m pursuing an MCA in AI & ML at Galgotias University and have reached Codeforces Expert, solving 500+ problems.
