## Projects

- [AuditPilot](https://www.tharanitharan.com/projects/auditpilot): Multi-agent SOC 2 readiness reference architecture. A reference architecture for SOC 2 readiness reviews where no single model gets the last word. One agent drafts findings, a second agent tries to pull them apart, and a person signs off before anything ships.
- [Mentivo](https://www.tharanitharan.com/projects/mentivo): AI coding mentor. Builds a personalized 7-milestone learning roadmap and checks understanding with adaptive quizzes.
- [E-Commerce AI App](https://www.tharanitharan.com/projects/ecommerce-ai-app): AI shopping assistant. A furniture storefront whose Gemini shopping assistant can search products, look up orders, and check out. Order history stays behind session authentication.
- [Horizon Banking Platform](https://www.tharanitharan.com/projects/horizon-banking-platform): Full-stack banking app. Links real bank accounts through the Plaid API for live balances and payment transfers.
- [NBA Analytics Platform](https://github.com/Tharanitharan-M/nba-analytics-platform): Spring Batch ETL over 65,000+ games. Dashboard queries dropped from 2s to 200ms across 13M+ rows after query and index work.
- [PrepWise](https://github.com/Tharanitharan-M/PrepWise): Real-time voice mock interviews on VAPI and OpenAI, with transcripts and feedback kept across 300+ sessions.
- [Patient Flow Warehouse](https://github.com/Tharanitharan-M/Azure-Patient-Flow-Analytics-Warehouse-and-Power-BI-Dashboard): Azure Event Hubs into Databricks streaming, Bronze to Gold Delta layers, and a Synapse star schema for reporting across 7 departments.
- [Stock Market Pipeline](https://github.com/Tharanitharan-M/Stock-Market-Data-Pipeline): Kafka on EC2 streaming 100K+ events into S3, with Glue crawlers for schema discovery and Athena for SQL.

## Case studies

- [Coach AI assistant at Steady State](https://www.tharanitharan.com/work/steady-state): A coach types a normal sentence into the dashboard, like "Who is at risk this week?" The assistant answers from the data the app already has. When a request would change something, such as sending a message, it shows a preview first and waits for the coach to press Confirm.
- [How AuditPilot works, a case study](https://www.tharanitharan.com/projects/auditpilot/case-study): AuditPilot checks how a software company protects customer data, shows which SOC 2 controls pass or fail, and drafts the policies and questionnaire answers that are missing. Only a CPA firm can issue the real report, so this is the practice run before it. It reads GitHub with a read-only key, and a person approves every draft.
