VinayakMaharaj/README.md

👋 Hi, I'm Vinayak

I'm a software engineer with a strong foundation in computer science, statistics, and mathematics, focused on building practical systems that work end-to-end — from data and models to clean, usable products.

🎓 B.Sc. Computer Science & Statistics, University of Toronto (Math minor)
🧠 Background in ML, statistical modeling, and systems design
⚙️ Comfortable owning projects from architecture → implementation → deployment

I care about clarity, focus, and execution — shipping useful software, not hype.

🧭 What I'm Focused On

  • Applied AI systems (LLMs, RAG pipelines, anomaly detection, inference workflows)
  • Backend-leaning full-stack engineering
  • Automation & developer tooling that saves real time
  • Writing maintainable systems that scale beyond demos

I prefer deep work on fewer things over juggling many shallow projects.


🛠 Selected Work

Security Anomaly Detection Pipeline (Maritime Financial Group)

  • End-to-end firewall and VPN anomaly detection processing 100k+ log events weekly
  • Hybrid ML pipeline: rules engine + Isolation Forest + autoencoder over 5-minute windows
  • Real-time Next.js dashboard with grouped alerts, drill-down views, and trend analytics
  • Reduced manual analysis time by 70%+ through automated risk scoring

AI Mock Interview Platform

  • On-demand AI voice interviews with structured written feedback (Next.js · Vapi AI · Google Gemini · Firebase)
  • Designed objective evaluation schemas validated across 100+ sessions
  • Built and deployed end-to-end as a solo project

Inbox Copilot

  • Keyboard-first email client with real-time sync and multi-account support
  • AI copilot drafts replies and answers inbox questions using RAG over prior threads (LangChain · Pinecone)
  • Subscription SaaS with Stripe payments, feature gating, and Clerk auth

AI Developer Collaboration Platform

  • Tool for querying and understanding large GitHub repositories
  • Production-grade RAG pipeline over real codebases with source-grounded, verifiable answers
  • Multi-user workflows with access control, usage limits, and credit-based billing

Hot Hand Insight — Bayesian NBA Analysis

  • Analyzed the "Hot Hand Fallacy" across 15 NBA players using Bayesian regression in PyMC
  • Compared Multivariate Normal, Horseshoe, and Spike-and-Slab priors; reduced model divergences by 20%
  • Presented to class and the UofT Statistics department head
