PLAYER PROFILE

Hey, it's Suchitra...

I'm a computer science master's student at Illinois Tech who loves building things from my imagination. If I think about something, I'll probably try coding it. My background is in software engineering, but I've fallen down the AI rabbit hole, and it's pretty fun here. I'm all about Python, cloud tech, and figuring out how to make machines a little more helpful. When I'm not at my desk, I'm probably drowned in a novel, exploring the city or looking for the best coffee in Chicago. Let's build the future (or just chat about it).

MISSION LOG

MAY 2026 — PRESENT
ACTIVE MISSION

Fulcrum Defense Inc.

Technical Intern — Solution Architecture & Platform Engineering

Supporting live client demos of the Fulcrum AI Platform to DoD program offices and prime contractors, translating customer feedback into actionable product requirements. Contributing to solution architecture, testing, and documentation for the DARC (Defense Agent Runtime & Coordination) runtime in Agile sprint cadence with the CTO and engineering team. Collaborating on vendor/partner ecosystems to advance platform certifications including DoD IL5 accreditation pathway.

FEB 2025 — JUL 2025
MISSION COMPLETE

PwC

Cyber Risk and Regulatory Intern

During my time at PwC, I was part of the development team building a dedicated financial risk application for Capital One. I spent my days in the codebase, building out internal Angular dashboards and automating reporting systems to streamline how the team handled regulatory data. To keep the project moving fast, I managed our cloud infrastructure using AWS and set up GitHub Actions for CI/CD, ensuring our deployments were stable and secure. It was a great experience balancing quantitative framework analysis with real-world software engineering for a high-profile client.

JUL 2024
MISSION COMPLETE

vTitan Corporation Pvt Ltd (Zoho)

Full Stack Development Intern

During my full-stack internship at vTitan, I focused on building and maintaining a robust application using the Spring Boot and React ecosystem. I spent a lot of my time in the backend, designing RESTful APIs that could handle complex data queries without slowing down. Besides just writing code, I was responsible for the full lifecycle, from architecting the MySQL database models to running integration tests and managing the deployment.

JUL — AUG 2024
MISSION COMPLETE

Bluestock Fintech

Software Developer Intern

I worked on building a responsive financial dashboard that needed to handle data dynamically. I used Django to manage the backend, leveraging its ORM to implement CRUD features that felt seamless for the user. A big part of the project was figuring out how to visualize complex financial data in a way that made sense, so I used Bootstrap and HTML to keep the layout clean and accessible.

FEB — JUL 2024
MISSION COMPLETE

PwC — Trainee

Cyber Risk and Regulatory Launchpad Program

I spent six months in the Launchpad program diving deep into the intersection of software development and cybersecurity. My focus was split between mastering OOP principles in Python and Java and learning how to manage complex data structures within Oracle SQL. Beyond the coding, I gained a practical understanding of threat analysis and secure coding practices.

JUL — AUG 2023
MISSION COMPLETE

Cognifyz Technologies

Python Development Intern

I focused on the core development of Python-based applications, using various libraries to build out essential features and logic. I spent a lot of time debugging and testing my code to make sure everything was reliable, focusing on making the scripts more efficient and ensuring the final product performed exactly as intended.

JUL — AUG 2023
MISSION COMPLETE

LetsGrowMore

Java Development Intern

At LetsGrowMore, I worked on enhancing Java-based modules by applying core OOP principles to write cleaner, more efficient code. I used Git for version control to manage my updates and collaborated with the team to integrate new features into the existing system.

COMPLETED QUESTS

QUEST

DischargeIQ

Multi-Agent AI Healthcare AI Claude API

Built agents 3 & 4 of a 5-agent pipeline that transforms hospital discharge PDFs into plain-language patient education — covering diagnoses, medications, follow-up care, and warning signs. Also owned the testing suite and contributed to the Streamlit frontend. Includes an LLM-as-Judge layer scoring outputs for clinical accuracy and Flesch-Kincaid readability.

QUEST

RuralReach

DNN Contextual AI

Built a deep learning system that doesn't just look at raw data, but also considers the "why" and "where" — environmental and situational cues — to predict behaviors more accurately. Handled the entire pipeline from feature engineering to neural network training.

QUEST

NBA Match Tracker

Data Viz API Integration

Tired of clunky sports sites, I built this dashboard to be a snappy, minimal way to check NBA scores. Hits the balldontlie API for live game data and uses Recharts to turn raw box scores into visual trends.

► VIEW
QUEST

Semantic Talent Indexer

NLP Ollama RAG

Built a RAG system that uses semantic search to find the best talent, moving beyond keyword matching. Set up a local inference pipeline using Ollama so all sensitive candidate data stays private and on-premises.

► VIEW
QUEST

HealthPredict

Healthcare AI Predictive Analytics

Uses machine learning to predict if a patient is likely to miss their medical appointment. Built a random forest model prioritizing recall — missing a patient who needs help is a bigger deal than a false alarm.

► VIEW
QUEST

Weather Analysis

EDA

Started with a massive pile of atmospheric data and built a Python pipeline to clean everything up for time-series analysis. Visualized using Matplotlib and Seaborn to spot seasonal trends and atmospheric anomalies.

QUEST

Explain

AI EdTech

Math shouldn't be intimidating. Built a universal translator for complex science — takes scary formulas like Navier-Stokes or Schrödinger and breaks them into plain English with AI-driven explanations and animated visualizations.

QUEST

Amigo

AI Assistant F-1 Compliance Gemini

Built this for international students drowning in F-1 compliance rules. Tracks work authorization hours, OPT unemployment days, and tax deadlines — all in the browser with no account needed. The AI assistant is trained on F-1-specific topics so it actually gives useful answers instead of generic ones.

QUEST

Student Application

REST API Full Stack

Full-stack student management system showing how a Spring Boot API and React UI can work together perfectly on a single port. Built from scratch — RESTful architecture, component-based UI, smooth state management.

► FRONTEND ► BACKEND
QUEST

B+-Tree Index Manager

File I/O Memory Mgmt

Built a fully functional B+-tree index manager in C, mapping tree nodes to disk pages and implementing all core logic — splits, merges, and range scans. Integrated with a custom buffer manager for speed and persistence.

QUEST

Record Manager

File I/O Data Structures

Built a record manager in C from the ground up to handle data tables with fixed schemas. Implemented insert, delete, and scan logic with custom data structures, page layouts, and a buffer manager for fast data access.
