Led a 6-person team to build an AI-powered forgery detection system for Indian identity documents (Aadhaar, PAN, Driving License), reaching 85–90% detection accuracy across a multi-layer forensic verification pipeline. Co-authored a research paper on the methodology, published in JETIR (Vol. 11, Issue 11, Nov 2024).
- Architected a 3-tier microservice system — React frontend, orchestration API, independent ML service — so the AI pipeline scales separately from the core app
- Built an ensemble verification engine: ResNet-50 layout embeddings, EasyOCR with custom character-correction, ORB copy-move detection, Error Level Analysis, EXIF forensics, and Verhoeff checksum validation
- Designed a weighted scoring engine combining all module outputs into Authentic / Suspicious / Forged classifications
- Containerized the full stack with Docker for reproducible deployment
