sCredIQ

AI system for credit risk assessment

Built a credit risk prediction system to estimate the likelihood of customer loan default. Preprocessed highly imbalanced financial data, trained and evaluated an XGBoost classifier with ROC-AUC and early stopping, and used SHAP to explain individual risk scores.

StockSense

ML model for generating stock trading signals

Developed a machine learning strategy to predict short-term market movements from historical stock data. Engineered RSI, MACD, and Bollinger Bands, trained a Random Forest classifier with time-series cross-validation and ROC-AUC, and backtested it against the S&P 500 while avoiding data leakage.
