Aspiring Applied AI & Machine Learning Student's Portfolio
Hi! I'm Saanvi, a student from Minnesota exploring computer science, machine learning, and using technology creatively to help my community. I'm also a figure skater, percussionist, and fiction writer who believes in bringing creative solutions to my software projects.
Wayzata High School, Plymouth, MN — Class of 2029
Premier public high school recognized for academic excellence and STEM rigor.
Coursework includes AP Calculus AB/BC, C++ Programming (Concurrent with Hennepin Technical College), Applied Robotics, AP Human Geography, Spanish 4, Honors English, and Earth Science. Member of the 9th Grade Honor Band as a Percussionist.
University of Minnesota Talented Youth Mathematics Program (UMTYMP), Sep 2023 – May 2025 — Algebra I & II, Geometry, and Pre-Calculus (A grades).
Mission: Making computer science acc essible by teaching "Coding through Art & Apps" to middle schoolers.
Curriculum: TurtleLabs – combining creative visual output with foundational programming concepts & C.O.R.E teaching app building using Python.
Status: First cohort of 30 students successfully recruited!
CodeUnity bridges the gap between artistic expression and computational thinking, helping young students discover that coding can be both powerful and playful. Through interactive Python Turtle projects, students learn loops, functions, and problem-solving while creating visual artwork they're proud to share.
ColoScreen is a medical AI research project designed to detect and classify blood on toilet paper using computer vision. By leveraging a hybrid pipeline of physical data acquisition, digital compositing, and generative synthetic data (500K images), the model accounts for variances in substrate texture, lighting, and blood morphology to provide accurate triage
Web-scraping and AI project that helps students find STEM camps based on interest, location, and cost. Built with Python, DuckDuckGo API, Pandas, BeautifulSoup, and Llama 3 LLM.
Deep learning model using PyTorch to classify chest X-rays into COVID and non-COVID categories. Features Grad-CAM explainability and a reproducibility framework.
Machine learning model analyzing potential bias in police searches. Combines exploratory data analysis, fairness metrics, and model comparison to predict search likelihood.
Collection of ML projects using Python, covering supervised learning, clustering, neural nets, and data visualization.
