Machine Learning
NCAA March Madness Cinderella Anomaly Detection
NCAA Anomaly Detection

Developed a Logistic Regression model using Scikit-learn to predict March Madness "Cinderella" upsets, achieving a 187% F1-score improvement over the baseline and 62.5% recall through SMOTE oversampling and PCA feature reduction.

Engineered a robust machine learning pipeline in Python to prevent data leakage, ensuring strict chronological evaluation across hold-out test years through StratifiedGroupKFold cross-validation.

Deployed a serverless web application on Vercel using JavaScript and HTML/CSS to visualize model diagnostics, delivering real-time predictions with zero backend latency by executing 100% client-side ML inference.
