Real-time Anomaly Detection System

Built a streaming anomaly detection system for IoT sensor data. Processes 100K+ events per second with sub-millisecond latency using ensemble methods.

Technologies Used

Apache KafkaApache FlinkScikit-learnInfluxDB

Project Overview

Developed a high-performance streaming anomaly detection system capable of processing massive volumes of IoT sensor data in real-time. The system uses ensemble machine learning methods to detect various types of anomalies with exceptional speed and accuracy.

Architecture Highlights: • Stream processing with Apache Kafka and Flink • Ensemble of online learning algorithms • Adaptive thresholding mechanisms • Real-time alerting and visualization • Horizontal scaling capabilities

The system monitors industrial equipment, smart city infrastructure, and environmental sensors. It can detect equipment failures, security breaches, and environmental anomalies within milliseconds of occurrence.

Key Challenges

  • Achieving sub-millisecond latency at scale
  • Handling concept drift in streaming data
  • Balancing sensitivity vs. false positives

Impact & Results

Deployed across 50+ industrial facilities, preventing equipment failures and reducing downtime by 40%. Saved $5M in maintenance costs.
