About

With over 7.5 years of experience, I am a seasoned data scientist specializing in developing cutting-edge AI solutions across diverse sectors including insurance, legal, banking, and e-commerce. My expertise lies in harnessing LLMs through techniques such as supervised fine-tuning, RLHF and knowledge retrieval for applications like conversational agents and workflow automation. In my previous roles, I focused on enhancing e-commerce user conversions via deep learning based personalized recommender systems. Furthermore, I have extensive experience in utilizing computer vision models for real-time object segmentation and tracking, particularly in virtual try-on and traffic monitoring solutions. I’ve also gathered extensive experience in implementing pipelines for model serving, CI/CD, and monitoring.
