About

I'm the founder of PA Labs, where we're building Porto – an AI-powered, chat-native portfolio companion that transforms complex financial data into clear, actionable narratives. With a background in data science and a passion for behavioral finance, I aim to bridge the gap between raw financial data and human decision-making. Porto is designed to help investors understand their portfolios emotionally and rationally, providing insights that go beyond traditional dashboards. Previously, I led data science initiatives in the automotive and finance sectors, focusing on predictive modeling and user behavior analytics. My journey has been driven by a desire to make technology more empathetic and user-centric. Let's connect if you're interested in the intersection of AI, finance, and human behavior

Sigmoid

Principal Data Scientist[GenAI]

Jun 2024May 2025 · 11 mos · Bengaluru, Karnataka, India · Hybrid

  • At Sigmoid, I pioneered strategic Generative AI initiatives, developing transformative enterprise solutions and significantly advancing data-driven innovation for global clients.
  • I won a prestigious month-long Generative AI hackathon, competing against over 50 top developers from companies including Tiger Analytics, McKinsey, and TCS Research. My team built an end-to-end AI product recommendation solution on Azure with a React frontend, securing a $1.5M contract with a major CPG client.
  • I developed "Data Companion," an advanced enterprise-grade Text2SQL solution built on AWS Bedrock, Snowflake, and Claude 3.5 Sonnet, achieving 90% query accuracy through enhanced query optimization and deep contextual understanding. The platform was showcased at AWS Tech Summit 2024 in Las Vegas and generated $1M revenue due to rapid deployment capabilities.
  • I spearheaded the creation of a multi-agent Generative AI recommendation engine on Azure, integrating Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), dynamic knowledge graphs, and semantic search to deliver precise product recommendations tailored to complex customer needs, built on robust enterprise-grade architecture.
  • Additionally, I led an innovative proof-of-concept exploring Generative AI's potential to automate traditional machine learning workflows, streamlining forecasting model selection, feature engineering, and hyperparameter tuning via natural language interactions.
  • I architected "Visualize," a next-generation platform enabling users to create analytics dashboards through natural language, powered by advanced LLMs for data interpretation and visualization. This innovation reduced dashboard creation time dramatically—from days down to minutes.
  • I also innovated an industry-first Generative AI system for automated Power BI dashboard generation, employing specialized LLMs to interpret user requirements and generate sophisticated DAX queries, enabling effortless, natural language-driven report creation.

Chief Data Scientist

Feb 2022Jul 2023 · 1 yr 5 mos · Bengaluru, Karnataka, India

  • In my role as a Bixby Voice Enhancement Leader and AI Researcher, I spearheaded a team of data scientists and researchers to push the boundaries of Samsung's Bixby voice assistant framework.
  • Beyond technical expertise, I fostered a culture of innovation by leading the AI council for Large Language Models (LLMs), exploring their potential integration with Bixby. This collaborative spirit extended to prestigious universities like MS Ramaiah Institute of Technology and Vellore Institute of Technology, where we advanced research in areas like multivariate anomaly detection and out-of-domain problems.
  • My technical contributions directly impacted Bixby's functionality and user experience. I led the development of several key tools, including:
  • A device feedback solution that leverages LLMs to generate comprehensive incident reports, streamlining the development process for engineers.
  • Another innovation – a highly technical, end-to-end Automatic Anomaly Detection library. This Python library empowers developers and platforms to detect anomalies with just one line of code, simplifying the resolution process for various Bixby usage patterns globally.
  • I also spearheaded the development of a classifier system that utilizes advanced methods to distinguish between relevant and irrelevant user requests, ultimately enhancing Bixby's user experience.
  • Furthermore, I played a crucial role in projects that analyzed user feedback text and logs. By implementing summarization and classification models, alongside log analysis techniques, we were able to identify root causes of issues and ensure data privacy through the development of transformer models for handling sensitive data detection. These contributions directly translated to a more responsive and secure Bixby for users worldwide.
