PROJECTS

Stock Price Forecasting via Monte Carlo Simulation Designed a Monte Carlo simulation to model stock price behavior using geometric Brownian motion with drift and volatility inputs.

Developed a reusable function to simulate daily price changes and visualize 60-day price paths. Applied real-world parameters (e.g., 8% annual return, 30% volatility) to evaluate investment scenarios. Phishing Website Detection (Machine Learning Project) Developed a phishing detection model using engineered features from URL, domain, and JavaScript behavior. Applied PCA and SMOTE to improve model performance and handle class imbalance. Trained and evaluated Random Forest and LASSO models using 10-fold cross-validation. Identified key predictive features through model-based importance metrics.
