Software engineer working across cybersecurity, applied AI, and systems architecture — building for operational environments where reliability isn't optional, and publishing reproducible empirical evaluations of every system I ship. Everything below is either live, independently referenced, or backed by a published paper and raw dataset.

Deployed · Empirically Audited

A thirty-module educational platform for CBSE Class 10 and 12, with 101 custom interactive structural diagrams. Built around a pre-generative retrieval engine that refuses out-of-syllabus queries rather than producing ungrounded explanations.

Retrieval hit@1 0.9733 across 9,226 indexed passages · confidence-gate F1 0.9836 · cold-start latency 455 ms · unanswerable-query refusal 0.0% → 100.0% under controlled A/B trial (McNemar exact test p = 3.1×10⁻⁵).

Deployed · Active Production Use

A unified clinical management platform operating in a working diagnostic practice in Meerut — patient registration, itemized billing, clinical routing, imaging queues, and financial auditing. NOX MED extends the system into structured radiological reporting with speech-assisted documentation and AI-supported image analysis.

Independently verified in signed documentation from the practice's consultant radiologist (in full below).

System Monograph & Software Engine

An offline desktop application for university admissions: a 1,073-university relational database paired with on-device model inference across 27 analytical modules — institutional matching, essay diagnostics, financial aid evaluation, interview preparation, and visa compliance simulation. Accompanied by an eighteen-section policy monograph on market asymmetry in elite admissions.

Research Prototype · Under Development · Expected Q2 2027

An offline, emotionally-reactive conversational AI running entirely on-device via Ollama, built around a hand-authored emotional-intelligence persona layer rather than a generic assistant register. Evaluated in a 187-item blind study against an identical unconditioned baseline.

Human-likeness 8.85/10 vs 1.20 baseline · emotional intelligence 7.51/10 vs 1.77 baseline · technical-correctness cost −0.15 points once a verbosity-bias artifact in the judging rubric was corrected — full methodology and raw per-item logs published.

Beyond the Syllabus Boundary — Retrieval-Grounded, Integrity-Preserving Instruction for Secondary Curricula, Working Paper v2.1. Names boundary truncation as a distinct failure mode of examination-aligned instruction and details an architecture subordinating generation to retrieval under a pre-generative confidence gate. 9,226 indexed passages · 102 atlas entries · 34 citations · 9 pages.

Teacher ONE: Four-Suite Evaluation Report — retrieval precision, gate calibration, runtime latency, and a controlled A/B trial, seed 20260802, SHA-256-hashed corpus. Documents its own limitations openly, including an 83.3% refusal rate on answerable edge-case queries under conservative gate calibration.

Four working papers in total — Teacher ONE, The Ivory Index, BUDDY, Cyber — every raw dataset published alongside the claims it supports, at research.imperialecc.com.

"Mr. Taneja successfully designed and completed CliniqueX, a clinic management platform that has been developed to support patient registration, billing, clinical workflow management, imaging queues, and financial reporting within a unified system... a thoughtful understanding of practical healthcare operations and an ability to translate those requirements into reliable software."

— Dr Manjeet Singh, M.D. (RD), Consultant Radiologist, Diagnostic Practice, Meerut

Certification also on file from the Anti-Corruption Association of India's Executive Secretariat, confirming full responsibility for the architectural design, engineering, hosting, DNS configuration, and security implementation of the organisation's public web platform.
