Award-winning work on machine learning for mental health.

1st1st Best Paper Award
ICSC 2025

International Conference on Sustainable Computing for Industry

“Advancing Mental Health Prediction with Machine Learning: Methods, Challenges, and Future Directions”

A study of how machine-learning models can predict mental-health conditions from behavioural and survey data — comparing methods, surfacing the ethical and data-quality challenges, and mapping where the field should go next. The work is backed by a working Flask application that turns the model into something people can use.

04 — About

Useful first, impressive second.

I’m a software engineer from Kolkata who likes the whole stack: designing the architecture, writing the API, and then obsessing over how the interface feels in someone’s hand. I hold a Master of Computer Applications from Brainware University, where I graduated with a 9.01 CGPA.

Today I lead engineering initiatives at Flint De Orient — planning systems, mentoring developers and shaping product decisions across CRM, HRM, ERP and SaaS platforms. My work moves between web apps in React and Node.js, mobile apps in Flutter, and AI: machine learning, automation and agentic AI. I care most about healthcare, education and business automation, and about software that is useful first and impressive second.
