About
Experienced Data Scientist with an M.Tech. degree and approximately 8 years of total experience, including over 5 years of specialized expertise in data science, machine learning, deep learning, and generative AI/large language models (LLMs). My professional journey includes working with organizations such as EPAM Systems, Amazon, Siemens, Analytical Wizards, and Infosys. I have extensive experience in data preprocessing, feature engineering, model development, and evaluation, with proficiency in traditional machine learning techniques like Linear Regression, Logistic Regression, Decision Trees, Random Forest, XGBoost, CatBoost, LightGBM, and SVM, along with expertise in generative AI and LLMs. I am also skilled in natural language processing, time series forecasting, clustering, and segmentation.I have advanced proficiency in Python programming and SQL, along with hands-on experience in machine learning frameworks like TensorFlow, Keras, and Scikit-learn. My expertise extends to version control using GitLab and GitHub, as well as cloud technologies, particularly AWS services such as S3, SageMaker, and Bedrock. I have a proven track record of understanding project requirements and executing development tasks efficiently for both pilot and large-scale projects. My analytical thinking and problem-solving abilities enable me to navigate complex technical challenges effectively. Academically, I hold an M.Tech. in Industrial Engineering from the National Institute of Technology Jamshedpur, graduating with distinction, and a B.Tech. in Mechanical Engineering from Jamia Millia Islamia. I also hold multiple certifications, including AWS Certified AI Practitioner, Salesforce Certified AI Associate, Data Science with Python Nanodegree from Udacity, Full Stack Data Science Certification from Jigsaw Academy, and Data Science Professional Certification from IBM Cognitive Class. Beyond my professional commitments, I actively participate in corporate social responsibility initiatives, college fests, and community health programs, including blood donation camps. During my college years, I was a member of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). Additionally, I share my knowledge and experience with aspiring data scientists through Topmate, where I offer mentorship sessions. Feel free to connect with me to discuss data science, machine learning, or potential collaboration opportunities.
