Tejas Waghere AI & ML Engineer

I'm 21, from Pune, and in my final year of a B.Tech in Computer Science (AI & ML) at Pimpri Chinchwad University.

Career so far

Each peak is a stretch of the climb. Pick a flag to see what happened there.

A snowy mountain range: three flagged peaks for B.Tech, Arvanta Governance and GreenCashX, and a tiny climber heading up a taller summit hidden in mist

The summit is still out of sight. More adventures coming soon.

Projects

Speech emotion and stress detection

Shipped

Classifies eight emotions from a voice clip with an SVM over 182 handcrafted acoustic features, then turns the prediction into a stress level. It's live on Hugging Face, and there's a lighter version that runs in the browser.

Data
RAVDESS, 1,440 clips
Model
SVM (RBF kernel)
Result
~68% accuracy, 8 classes, 5‑fold CV

In progress

An eligibility engine and benchmark for Indian welfare schemes. An LLM reads messy, code-mixed input; deterministic code decides eligibility and cites the exact Government Resolution clause behind every verdict.

Started
September 2026, no results yet
Scope
12–15 Central and Maharashtra schemes
First milestone
How often LLMs wrongly tell eligible people they don't qualify

AI-based crop yield prediction

Hackathon build

An AI-driven system that forecasts crop yields at district level from weather, soil and satellite data. I processed and integrated the multi-source agricultural datasets and engineered features to make the predictions more robust, then built a dashboard and an SMS alert system that sends farmers real-time, actionable advisories for crop planning and resource use.

Data
Weather, soil and satellite
Output
District-level yield forecasts
Delivery
Dashboard and SMS alerts for farmers

I'm a final-year B.Tech CSE (AI & ML) student at Pimpri Chinchwad University in Pune. I got hooked on building things that work on messy, real data, like a model that hears stress in someone's voice.

I like the whole ML system, not just the model: data, training, deployment and the plumbing in between. Lately I've been heading towards generative AI.

Two AI internships, a Smart India Hackathon internal-round final and 3rd place at PCU Biznest taught me to build things that hold up, not just demo well.

Recognition

  • Smart India Hackathon, internal round finalist, shortlisted to represent the college nationally
  • 3rd place, PCU Biznest

Certifications

  • AWS Academy Cloud Architecting, AICTE virtual internship (2024)
  • Google Cloud GenAI App Development, AICTE virtual internship (2024)
  • Red Hat Application Development: Programming in Java
  • Prompt Design, Google Cloud
  • Django Web Framework, Coursera
