ForeSight — IT Project Risk Prediction (Hackathon)

A 24-hour build: ML risk signals, dashboards, and a deployable monorepo—Top 10 at AI-Manthan.

AI-Manthan Hackathon · 2024March 20244 min read

Problem & industry context

IT portfolios leak budget and timeline risk when early warning signals sit in spreadsheets. PMOs want unified views: anomaly flags, cost overrun probability, and drill-down by squad. Hackathon constraints force ruthless scope—one vertical slice that demos end-to-end value beats a slide deck.

Insight

Risk platforms win on trustworthy data plumbing first (dbt-transformed Postgres, clear metrics definitions) and ML second. FastAPI + Next.js + Docker gives judges a live path from ingestion to dashboard. Monorepos help small teams move fast when boundaries (API vs UI vs analytics) stay explicit.

What I built

Co-built ForeSight in 24 hours: FastAPI backend, Next.js 15 frontend, PostgreSQL with dbt, Dockerized monorepo, and ML-driven risk dashboards. Reached Top 10 among 70+ teams at AI-Manthan (AtliQ Technologies). Demonstrated full-stack delivery under extreme time pressure.

Technical approach

Stack and tooling for this work: Python, FastAPI, Next.js, PostgreSQL, dbt, Docker. Topics covered: Hackathon, FastAPI, Predictive Analytics, dbt.
