Naveen Kumar Pendyam | Developer, ML Builder & Data Analyst https://nkpendyamportfolio.vercel.app/blogs Portfolio of Naveen Kumar Pendyam — developer, ML builder, data analyst and BCA student at Presidency University, Bengaluru. en-us Building a 3D Portfolio with Spline and Next.js https://nkpendyamportfolio.vercel.app/blogs/building-with-spline https://nkpendyamportfolio.vercel.app/blogs/building-with-spline Wed, 10 Jun 2026 00:00:00 GMT How a Spline keyboard scene became the centerpiece of my portfolio and what I learned about lazy-loading WebGL. How I built a brain tumor detector (with a lot of AI help) https://nkpendyamportfolio.vercel.app/blogs/brain-tumor-detection https://nkpendyamportfolio.vercel.app/blogs/brain-tumor-detection Mon, 25 May 2026 00:00:00 GMT A BCA student's honest write-up of building a multi-stage MRI analysis pipeline — YOLO, an ensemble of vision models, Grad-CAM, and a healthy fear of saying it's a medical device. Building LumaTorrent: a desktop app where I had to learn Rust and Tauri at the same time https://nkpendyamportfolio.vercel.app/blogs/lumatorrent https://nkpendyamportfolio.vercel.app/blogs/lumatorrent Thu, 21 May 2026 00:00:00 GMT A safety-first torrent client for legal file distribution. What I learned about engine boundaries, why mock sidecars are useful, and how AI helped me survive Rust's borrow checker. Credit risk analysis as a BCA student: turning a Kaggle dataset into something a business person could read https://nkpendyamportfolio.vercel.app/blogs/credit-card-risk https://nkpendyamportfolio.vercel.app/blogs/credit-card-risk Thu, 07 May 2026 00:00:00 GMT What I learned building a credit card default risk pipeline — why ROC-AUC alone isn't enough, why risk bands matter, and how AI helped me think like an analyst instead of just a coder. Kyro Downloader: one engine, four UIs, and a lot of learning about contracts https://nkpendyamportfolio.vercel.app/blogs/kyro-downloader https://nkpendyamportfolio.vercel.app/blogs/kyro-downloader Mon, 06 Apr 2026 00:00:00 GMT I tried to build a media downloader that has CLI, TUI, GUI, and a web UI all backed by the same core. Here's what broke, what worked, and why shared contracts saved me. Kyro VPN: a privacy prototype I started, parked, and learned a lot from https://nkpendyamportfolio.vercel.app/blogs/kyro-vpn https://nkpendyamportfolio.vercel.app/blogs/kyro-vpn Wed, 25 Mar 2026 00:00:00 GMT A multi-platform VPN prototype across Go, TypeScript, Dart, Kotlin, Swift, and C++. What I learned about architecture-first thinking, and why security projects need to be loud about their status. Kyro IDE: I tried to build an AI-native editor and learned why scope kills prototypes https://nkpendyamportfolio.vercel.app/blogs/kyro-ide https://nkpendyamportfolio.vercel.app/blogs/kyro-ide Sun, 15 Mar 2026 00:00:00 GMT A prototype for a local-first AI editor built on Tauri + Monaco + Ollama. The lessons aren't about code — they're about admitting when a project is bigger than you. Lung cancer prediction from survey data: what a small, imbalanced dataset taught me https://nkpendyamportfolio.vercel.app/blogs/lung-cancer-prediction https://nkpendyamportfolio.vercel.app/blogs/lung-cancer-prediction Thu, 29 May 2025 00:00:00 GMT A Jupyter notebook walk-through of classifying lung cancer risk from survey data, with SMOTE, feature engineering, and seven models compared. Plus everything I had to unlearn about accuracy.
