Thaluri Kavya · Portfolio 2026

Hi, I'm Kavya!
I build with curiosity,
ship with care.

CS undergrad at NTU specialising in AI and Data Science, currently interning at IRAS as a Business Analyst & QE Intern. I turn fuzzy problems into useful tools — from RAG study buddies to lost-and-found platforms.

About

Hello, Kavya here!

I am a Year 3 Computer Science student at Nanyang Technological University, pursuing a double specialization in Data Science and Artificial Intelligence. With a strong foundation in Python, Java, C++, and JavaScript, I build practical applications using LLMs, RAG pipelines, and full-stack web technologies. I'm currently interning at the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore (IRAS) as a Business Analyst and QE Intern, working within an Agile Scrum team on a cloud-based enterprise system. Beyond coding, I'm deeply passionate about finance and financial literacy. I believe the intersection of AI and Finance is the next frontier, and I'm eager to contribute to that space.

Hackathon Winner

ReUnite

Coordinated and led a 5-member team to modernise NTU's outdated lost-and-found system. Built a full-stack web platform using ReactJS, Node.js, and Firebase, tested with 50+ real item listings. Integrated Gemini AI for image-to-text description and visual similarity search, boosting match accuracy by 60%. Automated notifications via Nodemailer achieve real-time alerts under 5 seconds. Currently in discussions with NTU for official campus-wide adoption.

Hackathon Winner

Snoopy Bot

Built an AI-powered system integrating email, voice recordings, and meeting transcripts for automated lead capture and classification. Developed LLM-driven workflows for lead extraction, scoring, and advisor matching using FastAPI. Designed scalable backend workflows supporting near real-time processing and dashboard integration. Delivered a full-stack prototype with CRM and Slack integration in a 4-person cross-university team.

Hackathon Winner

Dora

Dora is an AI-powered travel companion that transforms how people explore new places. By combining trip planning, local recommendations, transport support, translation, and cultural understanding into one intelligent assistant, Dora helps travellers navigate unfamiliar countries with confidence and ease.

Hackathon Finalist

Anti-Collision System

Engineered a real-time industrial safety system using Python and Arduino and reduced workplace hazard response time in simulation using a real-time detection pipeline. Developed detection logic and dual-mode audiovisual warning systems to enhance hazard response times for industrial environments. Built and demonstrated a working prototype showcasing potential accident reduction and real-time alert capabilities.

Backend Developer

FoodBudget.sg

Led a 5-member development team through the software development lifecycle for a food budgeting platform. Built backend systems using Spring Boot and Supabase to support budget tracking and data persistence. Managed system design documentation, UML workflows, and version control for core application features.
