Hi, I’m Ansh!

I'm a Computational Mathematics student at the University of Waterloo, interested in software engineering, particularly ML / AI andbackend systems, as well as the intersection of software engineering and aviation + motorsport.

Outside of that, I love music, history, and soccer.

Built:
- Nuclear Challenge — Leak Probability Model
  A machine-learning research prototype that estimates leak probabilities and classifies leak types from the first two minutes of simulated nuclear plant sensor data. Won Best Final Product at the Canadian Nuclear Laboratories Innovation Challenge.
- slangify
  An always-on Discord bot serving 30+ users and 70+ lookups per day. Its right-sized Azure deployment cut hosting costs by 80%, from roughly $25 to $5 per month.
- Neural Network
  A modular C++ multilayer perceptron supporting arbitrary network depth and configurable activations. Trained with mini-batch gradient descent and backpropagation, it reached 95% accuracy on MNIST.
- ExSAMine
  An AI-powered digital forensics platform combining Gemini with Meta’s SAM 3 for automated evidence analysis. It was runner-up for Best Digital Forensics Hack at HoyaHacks 2026 and ran detection on auto-scaling Modal GPUs.
