LAKSHIT MALHOTRA
AI/ML Learning Intern
I'm an AI/ML Learning Intern with 2 months at Xtragrad Pvt. Ltd., where I boosted model accuracy by 18% through advanced feature engineering and cross-validated hyperparameter tuning. I've developed FloodSense, a real-time flood risk prediction platform, achieving 91% precision with a Random Forest ensemble, showcasing my ability to build impactful machine learning solutions. I'm now building toward a career as an ML/AI Engineer, focusing on creating innovative solutions at the intersection of AI, fintech, and big data.
Skills
Projects
FloodSense
Built an end-to-end ML + full-stack app ingesting live environmental data to predict district-level flood risk via a React.js dashboard, REST API, and MongoDB time-series schema. Developed a Random Forest ensemble with lag features, rolling averages, and geospatial encoding achieving 91% precision.
ShieldAI
Built a fraud detection system on a highly imbalanced dataset using Isolation Forest, SMOTE, and GridSearchCV-optimised XGBoost — boosting F1-score by 38% and reducing false negatives by 22%. Applied velocity checks, transaction-hour encoding, and merchant-risk scoring to model fraud patterns at scale.
Experience
Xtragrad Pvt. Ltd.
Feb 2026 – April 2026
Designed and deployed supervised ML pipelines using Scikit-learn and Pandas, improving model accuracy by 18% through feature engineering, SMOTE-based class balancing, and cross-validated hyperparameter tuning. Contributed to Agile sprint workflows; reduced pipeline processing time by 25% through optimised data preprocessing.
