AnaVation Summer 2026 Internship Projects Final Showcase

This summer, AnaVation welcomed seven bright and motivated interns to work alongside our team on exciting projects. Recently, our interns wrapped up their internship experience with a final showcase of their projects and demos. After ten weeks of hands-on development, our two talented intern teams took ideas from concept to execution. This teamwork demonstrated innovation, adaptability, and strong collaboration. The project demos highlighted not just what was built and their technical achievements, but what was learned. Here’s a closer look at the impressive work each team accomplished: The Shadownet Analyzer team built an application designed to ingest, query, and analyze financial transactions linked to illicit activities on dark web marketplaces. The goal of this tool is to help financial analysts uncover hidden patterns in transaction data, flag anomalies that may signal fraud or money laundering, and speed up investigations by visualizing relationships that would otherwise be difficult to detect manually. The application batch processes historical transaction records and stores the results in a database. Analysts access the application through a web browser, where they can query and analyze transaction nodes and review calculated risk scores. In addition, the team also built an integrated chatbot feature that helps filter, map, and sort data. The project required coordination across many components. The tech stack included a React and Vite front-end interface, Cytoscape and TanStack libraries for visualization, a FastAPI and Python backend, PostgreSQL and RDS for data management, and Nginx and EC2 for infrastructure. The team also worked with a variety of AWS services.
