Portrait of Evan Lewis

I'm a rising senior at the University of Maryland studying Computer Science with a machine learning concentration and a business minor. I'm interested in applying AI to solve real-world problems in the software, business, and financial sectors. I enjoy learning about new topics and technologies in the machine learning and scientific fields, and I leverage that curiosity to build things that work.

Projects

3D globe visualization with the CoWoS packaging constraint highlighted across the AI supply chain

AI Supply Chain Globe

TypeScript · Three.js · React · Graph Modeling

Interactive 3D globe mapping the global AI supply chain as a directed, layered graph — power grids, fabs, advanced packaging, data centers, and model labs. Constraints like CoWoS capacity and grid-equipment lead times are first-class entities: select one and everything downstream lights up. Every claim traces to a public, dated source.

Knowledge graph view of HVAC distributor documents

GraphHVAC — AI Operating Manual

Python · Claude Agent Loop · Hybrid Retrieval · Evals

An AI-powered operating manual for an HVAC parts distributor. Ingests messy real-world documents — manufacturer bulletins, regulatory filings, supplier emails, SOPs — into a citation-grounded knowledge base queryable in natural language. Measured on a 30-question golden set: 0.97 recall@5 hybrid retrieval and 0.98 citation recall from the agent loop.

Unified brief combining a cited SEC filing answer with an options market context panel

Filings Intelligence + Options Volatility

Python · RAG · SEC EDGAR · Options Pricing · Streamlit

A financial intelligence platform pairing a citation-validated RAG system over SEC filings (10-K/10-Q/8-K) with a real-time implied-volatility workstation — surfaces, skew, term structure, and expected moves from live option chains. Retrieval and answer quality are measured with a real eval harness (Recall@k, MRR, NDCG), and every value carries explicit provenance.

Footnote

Python · FastAPI · OpenAI Structured Output · Chrome Extension

A Chrome extension that turns technical YouTube videos into a just-in-time glossary. Structured LLM extraction over transcripts, strict JSON schema validation, quote-based timestamp resolution, and cache-first storage render playback-synced concept cards inside the watch page — with evaluation tooling for precision, recall, and timestamp coverage.

PlanetTerp Predictor dashboard showing experiment runs and model metrics

PlanetTerp Rating Predictor

Python · Scikit-learn · FastAPI · React · Experiment Tracking

End-to-end ML platform predicting professor ratings from PlanetTerp review data. Extracts 60+ text, sentiment, grade, and course features; benchmarks linear, tree, and boosting models with tuning (best holdout R² 0.81); and serves saved experiment runs, metrics, and predictions through a FastAPI backend and React dashboard.
