About

Associate Director | Data Science, LLM, and Vision-Language Model Leader with a demonstrated history of applying domain expertise to drive revenue and create business value through AI solutions. I lead cross-functional teams in developing India’s first multilingual Large Language Model (LLM) and Vision-Language Model (VLM). I look forward for opportunities of problems solving in the field of Machine Learning, Deep Learning, Computer Vision, NLP and Artificial Intelligence. I appreciate to deep dive into theoretical aspects of data science, designing algorithms, building systems from scratch etc. I’m a builder at heart — not just of systems, but of meaning. Over the years, I’ve developed cutting-edge ML systems, multimodal benchmarks, and scalable pipelines — but behind every model or dataset I craft is a single thread: the desire to make my work matter. I enjoy reading and experimenting with recent advances in different Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning techniques.

Machine Learning based Auto-Classifier and Auto Replier chat bot for Customer.
Build an intelligent system based on natural language processing & supervised machine learning which would Chat with customer and automatically reply to the customer’s complain.
It included complex challenges like chat context maintenance & intention mining .
Also built auto corrections feature using Levenshtein distance.
Integrated it with facebook graph APIs and gmail's IMAP server to simulate the chat experiment .
Once fully developed it would replace almost 90% of human work.
