ABOUT ME

Machine Learning Engineer, A Problem Solver

I make the dumbest thing smart. I am passionate about solving problems with possible Machine Learning modelling. I am keen on learning new algorithms. I believe sharing knowledge will increase my understanding of the subject in hand.

Currently, I am working in Amazon, London on the personalization of Subscription page.

I was working with Zalando SE in the Pricing & Forecasting Team from May 2018-August 2019 and before that I worked as a Machine Learning Engineer at Zomato. My major areas of interests are Deep Learning and Natural Language Processing.

I completed undergrad from IIIT-Allahabad. Some of my notable projects in the Deep Learning includes Synthesizing Insights and actionable items from user opinions and reviews, Photo Classification tailored to Food search and Discovery platforms and EyeQ (Image Quality and Aesthetics determination).

I dream to pursue Artificial Intelligence as an independent researcher in future.

I worked with Amit on a freelance project on Machine Learning. Amit immediately understood what I was looking for and asked the right questions. He completed the work really efficiently and spent extra time doing research to give me what I was looking for. He did the work quickly and well. Then we had a session where he explained process in a very clear and understandable way. Thank you Amit. Highly recommended

SOCIAL PRESENCE

GitHub

image_text_reader

The module extracts text from image using the tesseract-OCR engine. Generally, text present in the images are blur or are of uneven sizes. The image is pre-processed for better comprehension by OCR. This module first makes bounding box for text in images and then normalizes it to 300 dpi, suitable for OCR engine to read.

Scaling Mix-Integer Problem solution using Spark: Build Spark solution to scale price recommendation for 1 million products. Used airflow to orchestrate the workflow- creating the cluster, processing, and post processing steps for publishing data to stake holders. Spotinst Integration: I contributed in writing configurable Spotinst infrastructure. This enable team to run services on Spot fleet in AWS without loosing service availability and save monthly cost of ~70% AWS bills.
