About Me
Hi, I’m Amratya Saraswat — a software engineer and graduate student at the University of Illinois at Chicago, passionate about building intelligent systems that solve real-world problems. With industry experience at HERE Technologies, I’ve developed algorithms powering 3D navigation maps and autonomous driving. My academic journey is rooted in both research and teaching, from fine-tuning large language models for healthcare to guiding students in foundational computing concepts. I enjoy blending applied machine learning, NLP, and system design to create impactful tools. Welcome to my digital space — where code meets creativity.
Projects
Dynamic Querying & Visualization System
LangChain | LangGraph | OpenAI & Llama | Flask | JavaScript
- Designed an NLP-driven system enabling non-technical users to query databases and generate visualizations via natural language.
- Developed a modular backend using LangChain and LangGraph to convert queries into executable SQL dynamically.
- Integrated Flask and JavaScript to create an intuitive web app for real-time user interaction and visualization.
- Enabled flexible data dictionary support and dynamic chart generation with labeled, user-friendly graphs.
Fine Tuning LLM with LoRA (Low-Rank Adaptation)
Using Pytorch
- Fine-tuned the 110M parameter ‘BERT-base-uncased’ model using LoRA on the IMDB dataset from Hugging Face.
- Efficiently fine-tuned 4M parameters with LoRA, increasing classification accuracy by 50% on handcrafted reviews.
PhotoApp – Real-time Gesture controlled Image Filter Application
Python | OpenCV | Computer Vision
- Developed a real-time computer vision pipeline for gesture-driven image filtering using OpenCV and MediaPipe.
- Attained >95% classification accuracy by integrating hand landmark detection with custom filter modules.
- Collaborated in a 3-person team, leveraging modular design, Git, and documentation for reproducibility.
