LIVE 2026 Voice AI / Banking

miniVoxSetu

Real-Time Multimodal Voice AI Agent for Indian Banking
  • Engineered an ultra-low latency multimodal voice AI agent combining streaming STT/TTS, semantic analysis, acoustic emotion detection, and asynchronous processing; reduced end-to-end latency from 1,250ms to ~390ms.
  • Built and evaluated a hybrid RAG engine combining BM25 and vector search with Reciprocal Rank Fusion (RRF); improved retrieval Hit@1 from 68.4% to 93.8% and achieved 100% Hit@3.
  • Designed a 7-layer barge-in system using AudioWorklet VAD, client queue flushing, WebSocket interruption signals, generation-ID gating, and stale-task pruning with <280ms interrupt-to-silence latency.
  • Built automated evaluation harness covering RAG retrieval, acoustic inference, latency benchmarking, and 1.000 F1 PII redaction on synthetic banking transcripts.

LIVE 2026 Model Context Protocol (MCP)

GitHub Analyzer

MCP Server & Agentic Code Review Tool
  • Built a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server from scratch using official MCP Python SDK v2, exposing a typed analyze_repo tool over JSON-RPC/stdio for Claude Desktop, Cursor, Kiro, and MCP Inspector.
  • Designed a two-model analysis pipeline using Gemini 2.5 Flash for deep repository code analysis and Groq LLaMA 3 8B for fast structured scoring across 8 weighted engineering categories.
  • Engineered asynchronous, rate-limit-aware GitHub ingestion with httpx and pydantic, generating severity-ranked issue reports and prioritized refactoring recommendations.
  • Implemented Streamable HTTP transport and Docker containerization, transforming local subprocess execution into a remotely deployed service.

HireReady

Multi-Modal AI Interview & Placement Readiness Platform
  • Architected an end-to-end placement readiness engine combining ATS resume scanning, GitHub codebase code analysis, semantic role matching, and computer-vision proctored mock interviews into a unified PlaceScore™.
  • Designed a 6-factor deterministic + neural ATS engine (0–100) combining algorithmic Porter suffix-stripping keyword extraction with dense semantic cosine similarity against target Job Descriptions.
  • Implemented real-time MediaPipe FaceMesh for gaze, eye-contact, and attention tracking, paired with Whisper speech-to-text with noise hallucination rejection.
  • Integrated GitHub codebase code verification to cross-check claimed resume skills against actual repository commits and code evidence to generate interview talking points.
