About

I am a result- oriented professional with over 12+ years of experience in software engineering. I have worked in avionics, semiconductor, oil and gas and wealth management industries in various stages of software development life cycle. Having worked in couple of domains, after few years in my early career I ventured into an education franchise business. Learnt financial management through a rough experience and failure. That gave a holistic technology and business exposure. Currently I work as a data scientist. My area of work involves natural language processing, small language model and large language model fine tuning. Getting the model to serve useful predictions.
