About

I'm a Machine Learning Engineer with 8+ years of experience building scalable ML systems, with a focus on Search Ranking, Learning to Rank (LTR), NLP, Data Mining and real-time ML pipelines. At AngelOne, I’ve built a Search Feature Store from scratch, created dashboards for Silver & Gold layers, and worked closely with CXOs and the Search tech team to improve ranking through contextual user behavior models. My previous roles at Jupiter Money and Reliance Jio gave me hands-on experience in productionizing ML models, orchestrating workflows using Airflow, and collaborating across Data Science and Engineering teams. I’m deeply passionate about building systems that scale, mentor junior team members, and stay up-to-date with recent advancements in LLMs, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and ranking algorithms. Always open to new challenges in ML Infra, Search & Recommendations, or Applied AI roles that push the boundaries of what’s possible.
