## Projects

- [Redspot](https://github.com/ninadnaik10/redspot) (June 2026): A real-time website click analytics platform. A FastAPI ingestion server, Kafka message queue and ClickHouse storage pipeline capture interactions via a lightweight JavaScript tracking script; a React dashboard renders the target site in an iframe and overlays a colour-coded canvas heatmap of click density from live ClickHouse queries.
  - Stack: FastAPI, React.js, ClickHouse, Kafka, PostgreSQL, Docker
- [SpeakSure](https://github.com/ninadnaik10/speaksure) (October 2025): An automated AI behavioural interview system that quantifies confidence in a candidate's speech and surfaces insights to the hiring manager. Trained an MLP and a Fuzzy Hypersphere Neural Network on a custom dataset of 751 thirty-second samples using Wav2Vec2 features, reaching 96% relaxed testing accuracy. Presented as a research paper at ICCIS 2025.
  - Stack: Python, Flask, TensorFlow, React.js, MongoDB
- [Shortomega](https://shortomega.ninadnaik.me/) (November 2024): A full-stack URL shortener built with a focus on system design, with a dashboard, analytics aggregation and rate limiting, Dockerised. Redis runs as the primary database. I published a technical blog on the approach.
  - Stack: React.js, Next.js, Node.js, NestJS, TypeScript, Redis, Docker
  - Source: https://github.com/ninadnaik10/shortomega
- [CodeIt](https://codeit-web.onrender.com/): A specialised online coding platform for instructors to create groups, post coding challenges, and review learners' solution submissions.
  - Stack: React, Firebase, AWS
  - Source: https://github.com/ninadnaik10/codeit
- [PassVault](https://github.com/ninadnaik10/PassVault): A desktop password generator and vault storing credentials locally, secured with SHA-256 hashing and AES encryption.
  - Stack: Java, Swing, SQLite
- [News Forecast](https://github.com/ninadnaik10/news-forecast): An Android app for weather and news updates: temperature, conditions, wind speed, humidity, visibility and news previews.
