Ekta Makhija — Data Scientist

I am currently working as a Data Scientist at Deloitte USI. My role involves extensive research in the field of Generative Artificial Intelligence, with a major focus on Natural Language Processing. I explore the performance of various Large Language Models, such as Llama2, Mixtral 8X7B, and OpenAI. I have experience with multiple technical stacks, including NVIDIA’s Triton Inference Server, TensorRT LLM, NeMo Framework, NIM, vLLM, and quantization and fine-tuning techniques such as LoRA and QLoRA. Another field I am passionate about is finance. I am an active investor in the Indian stock market and eagerly look forward to opportunities in trading, investment banking, and investment research. With a background in Mathematics, I believe my knowledge combined with my work experience in AI will be a valuable asset in the field of investment research. I recently completed my Master's from the Indian Institute of Technology, Bhilai, in Mathematics and Computing. During my time at IIT Bhilai, I served as the Student Placement Coordinator and the Discipline Representative for Mathematics. I am deeply interested in research, and my Master's thesis, titled "Pattern Avoidance in Permutations," is an active area of Enumerative Combinatorics. My interest in machine learning and AI led me to pursue a research project titled "Portfolio Optimization using Machine Learning" and several online courses in the same field. Outside of academics, my hobbies include sports, martial arts, and Bharatanatyam. I am a professional Bharatanatyam dancer and have been practicing this art form for over ten years. In sports, I enjoy table tennis, swimming, chess, and badminton. I represented IIT Bhilai at the 55th Inter IIT Sports Meet. Additionally, I am a nature lover and a trekking enthusiast. I like to push my limits and explore all the fields I find exciting.
