Data Scientist | MS by Research at IIIT-Hyderabad | Computer Vision & GenAI | ex-Akridata

About

As a Data Scientist at Akridata, I contributed to cutting-edge industrial visual inspection solutions by deploying advanced Vision-Language Models (VLMs) and Multimodal LLMs. Successfully implemented a fine-tuned multimodal SLM that improved defect detection accuracy from 60% to 98% for a medical device manufacturing client. Delivered impactful results by enhancing inference speed and optimizing performance with limited training data. Additionally, developed and deployed end-to-end LoRA fine-tuning and inference API servers, enabling agentic experiments. Currently pursuing a part-time MS in Computer Science at IIIT Hyderabad, with a research focus on computer vision and machine learning. Holds a Bachelor of Engineering in Computer Science from Osmania University.
