Fraud Detection System
Random Forest model trained on a 108K-sample balanced dataset. Only 84 false positives against 2,016 correctly flagged fraud cases. SHAP explanations provide both global feature importance and individual prediction transparency.

Amazon Review Semantic Search
Replaced keyword search with SBERT-based semantic retrieval over 210K+ product reviews. Cleaner, curated datasets outperformed larger unfiltered corpora. Deployed as a Flask API for real-time semantic queries.
