Seeking Senior Capstone or Data Science Project Inspiration from alumni

Hey everyone,

I am currently preparing for my Senior Capstone / Final Year Data Science project and I want to build something genuinely impactful rather than a generic boilerplate project.

I am looking for project ideas, research directions, open-source gaps, or interesting real-world problem domains in AI and Data Science.

My background includes:

- Python, SQL, R

- TensorFlow, PyTorch, Scikit-learn

- Spark, Docker, FastAPI, Streamlit, AWS/GCP

- Hugging Face, LangChain, OpenCV, MLflow, and most common DS/AI libraries

I am adaptable and open to learning new tools, frameworks, or research areas if the project is interesting enough.

I am mainly interested in:

- LLMs & AI agents

- Computer Vision & Multi-modal AI

- Real-world ML systems & MLOps

- Open-source AI infrastructure/tools

I have not finalized the project yet, so I would really appreciate ideas, advice, datasets, papers, repositories, or personal experiences from people who have worked on strong AI/Data Science.

Thanks!
