# Real-Time Fraud Detection System

**Live Demo**: [streamlit.app/fraud-detect](https://yourname-fraud-detection.streamlit.app)  
**API Docs**: [localhost:8000/docs](http://localhost:8000/docs)

## Features
- **99.87% AUC** on imbalanced data
- **SMOTE + XGBoost** with class weighting
- **FastAPI** backend with Pydantic validation
- **Streamlit** real-time dashboard
- **Docker** ready

## How to Run
```bash
docker-compose up
# API: http://localhost:8000
# Dashboard: http://localhost:8501

## Deploy to Cloud (Bonus)

| Platform | Link |
|--------|------|
| **Streamlit Cloud** | Free dashboard |
| **Render / Railway** | Free FastAPI |
| **Hugging Face Spaces** | Free + Git |

---

## Interview Talking Points

| Question | Your Answer |
|--------|------------|
| "How did you handle imbalance?" | **SMOTE + `scale_pos_weight` + AUC focus** |
| "Why XGBoost?" | **Handles non-linearity, missing values, fast** |
| "How is it deployed?" | **FastAPI + Docker + Streamlit** |
| "What would you improve?" | **Drift monitoring, SHAP explainer, A/B test threshold** |

---

## Final Checklist

| Task | Done? |
|------|-------|
| Load & explore data | ☐ |
| Clean + scale | ☐ |
| Train XGBoost + SMOTE | ☐ |
