About

Yo, I’m Advait, a VST Developer, AI/ML Expert and Research Engineer, working upon transorming business challenges into intelligent, technical solutions driving real growth. I’m currently pursuing my B.Tech from IIT Delhi with a CS minor, and have cutting-edge academic knowledge and hands-on industry experience with developing VST plugins and providing working AI solutions to solve real problems.

I specialize in Machine Learning, Deep Learning, Natural Language Processing and Audio Data Processing; but more importantly, I know how to apply these technologies to specific business needs. Whether it’s a recommendation system to increase engagement, a voice agent to handle customer queries, custom VST development for commercial purposes or ML/DL model development, I provide robust solutions.

My expertise spans from idea to deployment to iteration and polish. I’ve built sophisticated audio intelligence platforms using CNN-LSTM models, real-time VST plugins for multiple clients, cross-platform desktop apps managing rich metadata systems, and full-stack web apps with clean, modern interfaces. My toolkit includes Python, TensorFlow, PyTorch, OpenCV, FastAPI, Next.js, and specialized frameworks like JUCE for audio plugin development.

Focused on delivering practical and measurable outcomes. But I don’t just implement features, I take time to understand your business goals, break down technical concepts and deliver scalable, maintainable solutions aligned with your long-term vision. From automating workflows to powering your products, I can build impact making systems.

LyricsAnalyzer is a powerful tool that leverages Natural Language Processing (NLP) to analyze song lyrics. The project focuses on extracting valuable insights from lyrics, including sentiment analysis, genre prediction, and thematic categorization. By applying machine learning algorithms, the tool can classify songs based on mood, style, and genre, making it ideal for music classification, recommendation systems, and music analysis projects.

Key Features:
Sentiment Analysis: Understand the emotional tone of the lyrics (positive, negative, neutral).
Genre Prediction: Classify songs into various genres based on their lyrics.
Theme Detection: Identify common themes like love, social issues, etc., from lyrics.
Data Visualization: Visualize analysis results through charts and graphs for easy interpretation.
The project is built using Python and libraries like NLTK, Scikit-learn, and TensorFlow. It combines the power of text processing and deep learning techniques to provide accurate and insightful predictions.

LyricsAnalyzer is ideal for music-related businesses, content creators, and researchers who need to gain deeper insights into song lyrics or develop recommendation systems based on lyrics.

As part of my work with InspireAI, I integrated a comprehensive end-to-end recommendation system designed to deliver personalized content based on users’ web-scraped LinkedIn profiles. The system was built to help users discover articles and insights aligned with their professional interests and career goals.

Key Contributions:
LinkedIn Profile Scraping: Developed a system to scrape and extract relevant data from LinkedIn profiles, ensuring rich user information for recommendations.
NLP Pre-processing & Word2Vec: Created a robust NLP pipeline to process user profile data, followed by Word2Vec vectorization for converting textual data into meaningful word embeddings.
Clustering & Recommendations: Applied K-Means clustering to categorize similar posts and articles, enabling the system to recommend personalized, contextually relevant content to users.

Key Features:
Personalized Content: Recommends articles, posts, and insights based on users’ professional background and interests.
Scalable Model: Built for scalability, capable of handling large datasets and evolving user preferences.

This recommendation engine effectively uses advanced NLP techniques and machine learning to enhance the user experience, providing tailored recommendations for career growth and industry insights.
