Synapse — AI-Powered Team Formation & Mentor-Matching Platform

Built as a final year project — an AI-powered platform for team formation and mentor-matching, designed to help students and teams find the right collaborators using data-driven compatibility scoring. Built the Flutter frontend, the core matching engine (a seven-signal composite scoring system with a Random Forest collaboration predictor and SHAP-based explainability), the proximity module, and Firebase Cloud Messaging integration for real-time notifications. Also managed the deployment pipeline — backend on Render, frontend on Netlify. A fully deployed, functioning platform showcasing applied machine learning, mobile development, and real-time system design in one product.
