I'm Alp

I'm a Sophomore Computer Science student at New York University, and I build counterintuitive systems that solve real problems. I focus on full-stack platforms and real-time AI pipelines where clear architecture, modular design, and strong data flow matter more than buzzwords. My work centers on turning unconventional ideas into reliable, end-to-end solutions.

CrisisTriageAI

Real-time multimodal triage platform that analyzes text, voice, and live phone streams to detect emotional distress and classify risk levels. Runs entirely locally with no external API dependencies.

Demonstrates production-grade ML engineering with privacy-first architecture and real-time streaming constraints.

What I Built

  • Designed modular FastAPI backend with WebSocket streaming for real-time audio and text processing
  • Implemented local Whisper ASR transcription and Librosa-based prosody extraction (pitch, speech rate, pauses)
  • Built custom DistilBERT-based neural classifier for risk-level classification with 73+ pytest tests
  • Developed Next.js dashboard with live triage view, session history, and analytics aggregation
  • Architected privacy-first system: all inference runs locally, ephemeral data handling, no cloud dependencies
Result

Sub-second inference latency on local hardware; zero external API calls for core triage functionality

Facade Risk Analyzer

AI-powered building assessment platform that processes facade images to detect structural defects, assign risk scores, and generate condition reports with repair cost estimates.

End-to-end AI application with pluggable analyzers, automated reporting, and production-ready CI/CD.

What I Built

  • Designed modular FastAPI pipeline with pluggable analyzers (OpenAI Vision, Mock, Replay) for flexible deployment
  • Implemented SQLite-backed jobs engine with output versioning and automated PDF report generation
  • Built Next.js frontend with job dashboards, analysis history, and shareable report links
  • Created CI/CD workflows with GitHub Actions, reproducible fixtures, and CLI tools for local orchestration
  • Delivered working platform that processes images end-to-end from upload to downloadable PDF report
Result

Complete image-to-PDF pipeline in under 30 seconds; deterministic replay mode for testing and demos

ML & Public Health Modeling

Work in progress research project analyzing fairness gaps in public-health AI systems. Using CDC PLACES and U.S. Census socioeconomic data, I help build and evaluate baseline ML models that predict diabetes and cardiac-disease prevalence at the ZIP-code level.

Research into whether health prediction models systematically underpredict risk in low-income communities.

What I Built

  • Building baseline ML models for diabetes and cardiac-disease prevalence prediction at ZIP-code level
  • Analyzing CDC PLACES public health data combined with U.S. Census socioeconomic indicators
  • Evaluating model fairness across income brackets and demographic groups
  • Investigating systematic underprediction patterns in low-income communities
