Shashank Bangera

Built a real-time audio analysis pipeline using Mel-spectrogram features and pretrained transformer encoders for genre, tempo, and mood classification. Implemented beat tracking and BPM estimation for energy profiling and structured vibe classification (Techno, Bollywood, Jazz, EDM). Generated live visuals using diffusion-based generative models with metadata indexing for low-latency retrieval.
