Garima Swami — AI Engineer

01 // About

A mind that thinks
in models & metaphors

I'm a Master's student in Artificial Intelligence at Brandenburgische Technische Universität Cottbus — where I spend my days teaching machines to see, reason, and decide. My instinct is to reach for a model before a metaphor, and then use both to explain what I built.

My journey spans research at ISRO, AI engineering at Fraunhofer IPK, and 10+ freelance and personal projects ranging from real-time computer vision systems to intelligent job-market analytics. I thrive where rigorous engineering meets genuine curiosity.

When I'm not training models or refactoring pipelines, I'm exploring the philosophical underpinnings of intelligence, slowly conquering German, and finding signal in noise — from neural activations to espresso extraction ratios.

☕ "I love coffee — most of my ideas start with it. There's something about that first sip that unlocks the best thinking."

10+ things I've built
from scratch

From real-time computer vision to intelligent RAG pipelines — a breadth of systems built with curiosity and shipped with care.

🧠

Decision Support System for Knowledge Retrieval

RAG-based system that retrieves, ranks, and synthesises domain knowledge to power AI-assisted decision-making — built with vector stores and LLM orchestration.

🔍

Explainable AI for Network Intrusion Detection

Combines ML-based threat detection with SHAP/LIME explanations so security analysts can understand exactly why traffic is flagged — bridging performance with interpretability.

😴

AI Driver Drowsiness Detection

Real-time facial landmark tracking detects eye closure patterns and fatigue signals, triggering audio-visual wake-up alerts to prevent accidents before they happen.

💬

RAG Knowledge Assistant

A conversational knowledge assistant that grounds LLM responses in your own documents — chunks, embeds, retrieves, and generates with full context awareness.

🏡

MLOps House Price Prediction

End-to-end ML pipeline with automated retraining, model versioning, and API serving — a full MLOps blueprint for production-grade regression at scale.

📊

Automated Job Market Intelligence

Scrapes, aggregates, and analyses job postings at scale — extracting skill trends, salary signals, and hiring patterns from the live market so you can navigate it with data.

🛒

Amazon Product Data Scraper

Automated pipeline that extracts product listings, pricing history, reviews, and rankings from Amazon at scale — structured for downstream analytics and price alerting.

💪

AI Push-Up Trainer

Pose estimation meets personal fitness — the system counts reps, evaluates form in real-time, and gives corrective audio feedback using body keypoint geometry.

🎤

AI Interview Coach

Simulates technical and behavioural interviews, scores responses with an LLM judge, and delivers structured feedback on clarity, depth, and confidence — your private interview sparring partner.
