I don’t just train models; I build the infrastructure, the pipelines, and the user-facing products that make them useful. I operate with a "ship-it" attitude, bridging the gap between a model in a Jupyter notebook and one thriving in the chaos of production.
- Education: Master of Science in Applied Data Science from USC (GPA: 3.9/4.0) and B.Tech in Computer Science from Manipal University Jaipur (CGPA: 9.17/10.0).
- Currently: Data Scientist at Cloud9 Esports, where I act as a team-of-one and develop AI solutions for the company, driving revenue, accelarating growth and creating impact.
- Philosophy: Complexity is often just a lack of initiative. I pride myself on being the person who unblocks the team by building the solutions from scratch.
- Current Focus: Build, build and build some more.
Award: Best Project & Best Data Science Developer (CKIDS DataFest ‘23 USC) Automated the outlining of safety trait violations in Nuclear Plant reports using a GuidedLDA model that learns from domain-specific "seed words".
A TA bot designed to replace a course assistant, capable of processing uploaded PDFs and generating conversational responses using FAISS, Llama 2, and HuggingFace embeddings.
Solved for Concept Drift and Catastrophic Forgetting in a 1M+ interaction dataset. Outperformed LSTM models by 7% using sliding windows and replay buffers.
Implemented Locality Sensitive Hashing (LSH) and collaborative filtering on the Yelp dataset to achieve a high prediction accuracy (RMSE: 0.978).
Built a layer-by-layer neural network using only NumPy, implementing backpropagation and optimization without high-level ML libraries.
