Fraud Monitoring Transaction Dashboard

Our MSU capstone for Ally Financial: a real-time fraud monitoring dashboard that helps analysts spot, investigate, and understand suspicious transactions.

  1. • Collaborated with a team of 6 to design and deliver a full-stack real-time fraud detection dashboard for Ally Financial, featuring risk scoring, AI-powered explanations (LLM-generated with Ollama and LangChain), analytics, and geolocation visualization (MapLibre GL, PostGIS)
  2. • Engineered a React/TypeScript/Tailwind frontend with TanStack Table, infinite scroll, live polling, and Recharts analytics for monitoring fraud trends
  3. • Architected a Python/Flask REST API backed by PostgreSQL with cursor-based pagination and a synthetic transaction data generator used to create 3,000+ realistic synthetic transactions for testing risk scoring performance
  4. • Spearheaded database integration, establishing PostgreSQL schema and connectivity to the Flask REST API, and led development of the analytics page, building Recharts graphs of fraud trends

Volunteer Matchmaker

Volunteer Matchmaker is a swipe-based volunteer discovery platform built at SpartaHack XI that connects individuals with opportunities they can realistically follow through on. It won third place in the Blockchain category.

  1. • Collaborated with a team of 4 to build a full-stack platform with a Next.js/TypeScript frontend and a Django REST Framework + PostgreSQL backend, containerized with Docker Compose
  2. • Designed and implemented the matching algorithm, a weighted 100-point score combining distance (Haversine), skill overlap, urgency of need, and volunteer reliability, with an accessibility filter that excludes roles conflicting with a volunteer's limitations
  3. • Built the Django data models, REST endpoints, and database seeding command that power the swipe-based job feed
  4. • Integrated the Google Gemini API to turn a one-sentence request into a structured, inclusive job posting with skill tags and accessibility flags, with response caching to limit API calls
  5. • Developed a gamified badge system with four Bronze/Silver/Gold tracks rewarding urgent, skill-based, and accessibility-focused volunteering
  6. • We also added an Ethereum donation leaderboard, a Solidity smart contract on the Sepolia testnet that tracks donations to organizations and rewards the top organization each round
  7. • Won third place in the Blockchain category at SpartaHack XI for our Ethereum donation leaderboard
