Engineering smarter infrastructure.

I'm Nishant — a civil engineering student working where construction, capital, and code meet. I build data-driven systems for how infrastructure gets delivered, financed, and run.

01 About

I'm drawn to the full life of an asset — how it gets built, financed, and made smarter.

I'm a civil engineering student at Western with experience on both sides of infrastructure: hands-on construction operations and project controls, and the financial side through infrastructure finance and financial services.

What excites me most is using technology and data to make infrastructure intelligent — from forecasting traffic with graph neural networks to building real-time monitoring systems. I'm especially drawn to infrastructure advisory, where engineering, capital, and strategy decide what actually gets built.

Traffic Forecasting with Graph Neural Networks

Machine Learning · Smart Mobility

An A3T-GCN graph neural network that forecasts traffic speed 60 minutes ahead across 207 real Los Angeles sensors — learning from both the time series and the road network itself, so it anticipates spillover before it shows up locally. A coupled SUMO simulation then used those forecasts to drive adaptive signal control.

AquaControl — Aquaponics Monitoring System

Engineering Design · Western University

A real-time monitoring system for a live aquaponics setup. An ESP32 streams pH, temperature, water-level and ammonia readings to a dashboard over WebSocket, with health scoring, trend history, and a physics simulation mode when no hardware is connected — backed by Node and SQLite.

Healthy-Pal

Personal Project · 2023

A Python nutrition-tracking bot that parses a food database to log meals and report nutrient intake from plain-language messages — an early project where I got comfortable turning messy data into something genuinely useful.
