Hi, I'm Aishrica

Learner.
Builder.Data Scientist.

I'm an M.Sc. Data Science candidate at IIIT Lucknow, and I build production ML systems — from an LSTM heatwave-forecasting pipeline for the Uttar Pradesh government to RAG-based learning tools. This is my work, one project at a time.

My journey

How I got here.

From an integrated B.Ed. classroom to government climate models — every step looked unrelated to the last, until I could see the thread running through all of it: turning raw data and complex systems into something people can actually use.

01 2021 – 2025

Foundations

I did my B.Sc. B.Ed. (Integrated) at DAV University, Jalandhar (GPA 8.35) — building the grounding in math, statistics, and how people actually learn that later shaped how I approach modeling and teaching alike.

02 2025 – 2027

The Pivot to Data Science

I began my M.Sc. in Data Science at IIIT Lucknow (GPA 8.45), specializing in predictive modeling, NLP, and time-series forecasting — trading the classroom for end-to-end ML pipelines.

03 Sep 2025 – Jun 2026

Climate Resilient Observatory

As a Data Scientist Intern, I built a multivariate LSTM pipeline for heatwave forecasting on live UP government climate data, achieving 0.82 recall on extreme heat event detection, with XGBoost residual correction and SQL-based data quality validation.

04 Jan 2026 – May 2026

Teaching Assistant

I conducted PyTorch labs on CNNs, RNNs, and backpropagation, and delivered BERT fine-tuning sessions for sentiment analysis and text classification — supporting 10+ students' NLP projects end-to-end at IIIT Lucknow.

Shipping in Public

ReInsureSight, SmartPlate, Saarthi-AI, and an AI Learning Assistant — I ship real, working projects on GitHub and Hugging Face, public and checkable, not just listed on a resume.

Right now

What I'm building.

Since September 2025, I've been building climate forecasting models and teaching the next batch of ML students at IIIT Lucknow — here's the actual work behind that.

01

Climate Time-Series Forecasting

A multivariate LSTM pipeline for heatwave forecasting on live CRO climate monitoring data across Uttar Pradesh — 0.82 recall on extreme heat event detection.

02

Residual Correction & Data Quality

XGBoost-based residual correction layered on LSTM forecasts, validated against real-time government data, plus automated SQL data-quality checks on historical climate observations.

03

RAG & Agentic Systems

Retrieval-augmented learning assistants and commute-planning agents — LangChain, ChromaDB, vector search, and LLM orchestration built end-to-end and shipped on GitHub and Hugging Face.

04

Teaching & Mentorship

PyTorch labs on CNNs, RNNs, and backpropagation, plus BERT fine-tuning sessions for sentiment analysis and text classification — supporting 10+ students' NLP projects end-to-end.

Things I've built

From idea to shipped code.

Public, checkable projects — not just claimed on a page, but live on GitHub and Hugging Face.

01 Flood Risk Modeling

ReInsureSight

A geospatial flood loss estimation engine using LightGBM and Google Earth Engine across 1,202 NatCat events in 131 countries, with MAPIE conformal prediction achieving 87.1% empirical coverage on held-out test data.

02 Live Demo

SmartPlate

A fine-tuned Vision Transformer (ViT-Base) over 4,000 images across 80 Indian food categories (75.19% test accuracy), wired to a FastAPI inference pipeline returning serving-size-adjusted calorie estimates.

03 RAG System

AI Learning Assistant

A retrieval-augmented learning assistant for ML/DL concepts — LangChain, ChromaDB, Groq Llama-3.3-70B, and HuggingFace embeddings, with source-cited, page-referenced answers instead of generic responses.

04 Agentic AI

Saarthi-AI

A predictive commute-planning agent for Lucknow that fuses traffic, weather, festival, and event signals into a deterministic risk score, then narrates optimal departure windows via an LLM.

05 NLP Classifier

Cyberbullying Classifier

A multi-category (6-class) cyberbullying detection system for social media tweets — TF-IDF, spaCy preprocessing, and a Naive Bayes / Logistic Regression / Random Forest / XGBoost comparison with hyperparameter tuning.

06 Practice Archive

LeetCode Solutions

A running archive of solved Data Structures, Algorithms, and SQL problems — the working record behind the 150+ problems solved on LeetCode.

Deep dives

The story behind the code.

Six full write-ups — what I researched, what already existed, why it wasn't enough, and exactly how I built mine instead. Not a changelog, the actual reasoning.

01 Flood Risk Modeling

ReInsureSight

Why most catastrophe models are confidently wrong in the countries that need them most — and how I built one that admits its own uncertainty instead.

02 Climate Forecasting

Forecasting Heatwaves at CRO

Why "95% accurate" is the wrong goal for an early-warning system, and how an LSTM + XGBoost pipeline got tuned to actually catch the days that matter.

Read the case study →
03 Computer Vision

SmartPlate

Why mainstream calorie apps can't tell dal from sambar, and how a fine-tuned Vision Transformer fixed that for 80 Indian food categories.

Read the case study →
04 RAG Systems

AI Learning Assistant

What happens when a TA gets tired of answering the same question a hundred times, and builds a RAG system that cites its sources instead of guessing.

Read the case study →
05 Agentic AI

Saarthi-AI

Why deterministic math should come before the LLM in an agent, not after — and how that design choice shaped a commute-planning agent for Lucknow.

Read the case study →
06 NLP Classification

Cyberbullying Classifier

Why "is this bullying, yes or no" is the wrong question for real moderation, and how a 6-class model answers the one that actually matters.
