About

I am someone who transitioned his career from Manual Tester to Data Scientist without paying Lakhs of rupees to big institutes. I help people do the same:) Currently I am working full time on my own venture. In past I had worked on Recommendation Engine Development in Tredence Analytics. I was a member of core Data Scientist Team known as AI CoE(Center of Excellence). Also I had worked on Regression, Classification and Clustering for an Industrial IoT Data Science Project. There I was able to increase the efficiency of the Power Plant by 7.1% Most recently, I developed Recommendation Engine for an App named BigHaat(Play Store) Given that I struggled a lot to get DS jobs and after giving 40+ interviews and having 8+ offers, I thought of making a course to help people upskill themselves without much investment of money. The course is called "Data Science & Analytics Placement Assistance Program". The most affordable, high quality content, assignments, capstone projects and mentorship course.

1. Optimizing the NOx emission & Cost of Thermal Power Plant:
Cleaned and merged the IoT sensors(3000) data of a Thermal Power Plant
Developed Framework for extracting Steady State data from raw(noisy) Sensor Data
Performed EDA and Descriptive Statistics on the raw data as well as steady data
Performed Feature Engineering to generate many useful features
Developed Model building framework for trying various Models like Linear Regression, Rigde, Lasso, KNNRegressor, RandomForestRegressor, GradientBoostingRegressor, XgboostRegressor
Built 80 predictive models for predicting various parameters of using IoT sensor data of the Power Plant. Best model was selected based on Adjusted R-squared and RMSE
Built Optimization framework using PSO(Particle Swarm Optimization)
2. Coal Properties Prediction from IOT Sensors of a Thermal Power Plant:
Predicting Coal properties based on Data from IOT Sensors of a Japanese Thermal Power Plant
Optimized the Steady State Extraction, Feature Selection frameworks
Built 6 predictive models with Sensor data as Input Features and Lab Data of Coal properties as output
Coal Analysis- Developed Algorithm for Coal clustering(as KMeans didn't give desired results)
Develop Coal change detection Algorithm
Coal Properties includes: Ash Softening Point, VM, Moisture, Ash, CV and FC
3. Deploy Machine Learning Architecture on AWS SageMaker:
Deploy the full machine learning architecture on AWS Sagemaker for model building, retraining, optimization and deployment
Dockerized the Steady State Extraction Framework, Modelling building Framework, Feature Selection Framework, Optimization Framework and Deploy in ECR(Elastic Container Registry)
Create Lambda(serverless) functions to invoke these algorithms from SageMaker

Manual Tester

Jul 2018 – Dec 2018 · 5 mos

Was responsible to test a application developed in AS-400. I was supposed to test manually but to make my task faster I built a automation framework using VB and Excel. This gave me ample amount of time to learn Data Science.
