Ruchi Pakhle — Data Scientist

Hello, I’m a Software Engineer turned Data Scientist at Red Hat, where I work on time-series forecasting, ML pipelines, and applied research to optimize infrastructure performance. My work bridges the gap between data-driven insights and engineering systems, with a strong focus on reliability, scalability, and intelligent agent automation. Beyond my day job, I’ve been an active and passionate open-source contributor since my early years in tech—collaborating with organizations like the Linux Foundation and the AsyncAPI Initiative (as a Google Summer of Code contributor). These experiences have shaped my belief in building transparent, community-driven systems that solve real-world problems. My recent research explores hierarchical forecasting models and agentic workflows—driven by a deep interest in machine learning systems that adapt, reason, and scale. I enjoy working at the intersection of data, infrastructure, and AI—bringing together my software engineering background and data science expertise to create impactful tooling. Looking ahead, I’m excited about roles where I can contribute to cutting-edge ML research, agentic architectures, and production-grade AI systems. I’m especially interested in opportunities at organizations committed to pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with applied AI. Open to connecting with teams building for the future.

About

Experience

Red hat

Data Scientist

Jun 2025 – Present · 9 mos

Implemented hierarchical time series forecasting models to predict future procurement spend across global regions and individual suppliers and down to the level of individual suppliers, enabling more informed budget planning and strategic sourcing decisions.
Trained and evaluated multiple forecasting models—including Orbit, TimeFM, ARIMA, and Prophet—with the goal of averaging predictions from the top-performing models to generate 12-month forecasts per supplier.
This project marks Red Hat’s first initiative in spend forecasting, with direct executive sponsorship and high visibility within the procurement function.
