At Fidelity Investments, I designed and implemented a Java backend platform that increased document-processing capacity from 1 to 10,000 documents per submission. I also extended inline validation and designed database tables for the bulk-processing workflow.

I built a mental health triage decision-support prototype using rule-based classification and clinical frameworks, integrating PHQ-9 screening to structure risk assessment. The project also includes a research design incorporating stakeholder interviews.

For my Social Media & Depression Risk Classifier project, I built a logistic regression model and achieved 90.8% recall after feature engineering, cross-validation, and threshold tuning. I also co-founded StudyBuddy Peer-Peer Mentorship, where my analysis found an average grade increase of 20% among active participants.
