Machine Learning Engineer at Tata Consultancy Services, Sep 2021 \- Oct 2022 · 1 yr 2 mos, CBA \-\- This project is to decide weather Loan can be sanctioned to a customer or NOT using ML based Model which feeds on the historical condition of the client\. Role: \- Worked Closely with subject Master experts to identify and define business reporting requirements\. \- Used Python with Libraries such as NumPy, Pandas, Matplotlib\. \- Performed statistical analysis and applied machine learning Techniques to the Data for identifying potential areas of enhancements in products\. \- Performed data cleaning, Feature Engineering, Outlier removal using Python\. \- Created the best Model From SVM, Random Forest and Logistic Regression\. \- Saving a Model into File using Joblib \- Exposure to the Data Visualization tool such as Power BI

Functional Tester at Tata Consultancy Services, Aug 2020 \- Aug 2021 · 1 yr 1 mo, Bengaluru, Karnataka, India, Project Description: Initially Customer executive \(MDS \- Merchant Direct Sales according to application\) visits and collects all the details regarding customer and modes of application, MDS used to update that directly in application and here in application this information moves on to all the downstream and gets approval in different levels\. This is the process which includes many stages and approvals\. During this period of time, if customer wants to change the requirement, then time taken for the approvals in different stages and the memory used in all the downstream will be wasted\. To avoid this, MPM is introduced, where customer details will be collected in an MPM application and finally a Excel sheet will be generated\. This will be imported in an application once there is Final call from the customer\. Once imported all the details will be loaded directly onto the Onboarding application and all the details will auto updated\.  Attended scrum meeting on daily basis\.  Verified the different data sets in both MPM application and Onboarding application\.  Involved in Sanity Testing on Initial builds\.  Test Execution for each cycle\.  Developed the Testing procedure Workflows  Performed functional, sanity testing\.  Participated in identifying the Test scenarios and designing the Test cases\.  Prepared and Executed Test Cases as per System Requirements  Logging the bugs for the failed test cases\.  Communicate project status on a daily basis\.  Checked all the downstream such as GMAS, CTS\.

Functional Tester at IRIZID, May 2018 \- Nov 2018 · 7 mos, Bengaluru, Karnataka, India, Title: ESS – Guard Tour Project Description A guard tour system is a system used to help companies and organizations to organize, log and execute guard tours and patrols in their assets ensuring that the officers will accomplish their tasks within the predefined time intervals\. Guard tour systems provide a means to check and record the time that a guard executes his guard tour by scanning specific checkpoints assigned on the area he patrols\. Checkpoints are placed in certain points either on buildings or on other locations of a site or remote area and help the managing staff to identify each different location and each portion of a specific territory\. The on\-site officers can scan checkpoints, track and record events and conduct and send reports to the managing staff or the clients, even in real\-time\.  Attended scrum meeting on daily basis\.  Involved in Sanity Testing on Initial builds\.  Involved in Regression testing for each SPRINT\.  Worked on hardware devices like controller, interface, readers provides by HID  Test Execution for each cycle\.  Developed the Automation Testing procedure Workflows  Performed functional, regression testing and sanity testing\.  Participated in identifying the Test scenarios and designing the Test cases\.  Prepared and Executed Test Cases as per System Requirements  Logging the bugs for the failed test cases\.  Effectively partnered with development team in closing the defects\.

Functional Tester at IRIZID, Oct 2017 \- Apr 2018 · 7 mos, Bengaluru, Karnataka, India, Title : ESS – Mustering Project Description Mustering is one of the modules in ESS application\. Being prepared and having emergency evacuation and mustering plans in place are essential\. Mustering requires access control software that provides this feature, as the system must distinguish between employees who have not checked into the mustering point from those who are on vacation or not in the building for other reasons at that particular time\. Used for specific access situations, mustering is a concept where a specific reader or readers are used to verify that individuals are in a particular place\. This allows a system user to quickly generate a list of all employees who have physically reached the mustering reader, while also generating an exception report of those who have not checked in\.  Involved in Sanity Testing on Initial builds\.  Test Execution for each cycles using Selenium\.  Performed functional, regression testing and sanity testing\.  Participated in identifying the Test scenarios and designing the Test cases\.  Prepared and Executed Test Cases as per System Requirements  Developed the Automation Test Scripts  Worked on hardware devices like controller, interface, readers provides by HID  Logging the bugs for the failed test cases\.  Effectively partnered with development team in closing the defects\.  Communicate project status on a daily basis\.

Functional Tester at IRIZID, Jun 2017 \- Sep 2017 · 4 mos, Title: DCS – Data Control Service Project Description DCS works as a mediator between ESS application and Controller, a hardware used by access control system\. Which reads the data from ESS application and uploads some set of files to Controller and returns the response given by Controller which is monitored by ESS application in real time\.  Execution of test cases  Development & Execution of Test cases based on the requirement  Bug reporting and tracking them to closure\.  Communicate project status on a daily basis\.  Reported defects with appropriate steps for reproduction with screen shots, performed root cause analysis on defects and ensure corrective actions are taken\.  Participation in Review of Testing & Documentation
