About

I am passionate about solving the toughest business challenges through the application of Machine Learning and Deep Learning. In the past, I had the opportunity to work for Amazon and Walmart, solving hard problems on a massive scale and dealing with billions of time series (Product/Location combinations). Do checkout my academic papers at https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=B1NSn0IAAAAJ&hl=en I love the practical application of science to solve real-world Supply Chain problems such as Demand Forecasting, Inventory Optimization, Price/Promotion Optimization, and Replenishment. My love for this domain manifested in founding True Gradient. I founded True Gradient along with my talented co-founders, who bring complementary skills to the equation. We are on a mission to provide Self-service AI (Auto-ML) solutions and unlock massive business value. I remain a student and teacher of this domain as I continue to write research papers and actively participate in Data Science competitions. I have participated in more than 50+ competitions, including Kaggle, Analytics Vidhya, Topcoder, and Crowdanalytix. I also mentored the Data Science Career Track on Machine Learning and Deep Learning for Springboard.
