+#  Fraudulent Credit Card Transaction detection in real time using Kafka
+
+Utilized SparkML and Scikit-Learn to develop and train several machine learning
+models for distinguishing fraudulent and legitimate transactions.
+The machine learning models are then utilized to make predictions on Kafka-generated real-time data streams. 
+Built an interface for displaying these predictions in real time using Streamlit framework.
