Siddhesh Girase — Product Engineer
I seek out a plenitude of solutions, to solve a handful of problems! :) Currently working as a Robotics research aide at the Embedded Control and ARMS Lab at Systems and Control Department (SysCon). Research objectives include extension of Strapdown Inertial Navigation Systems for underground pipeline layout estimations. Previously worked as a Lead Python developer specialising in AI/ML software R&D and deployment. I boast to have developed and deployed end-to-end solutions tailored to the business needs of my clients in eCommerce and Tech startups for the last couple of years. My day to day responsibilities also include researching and developing AI/ML POCs and creating business development opportunities especially involving applications related to Large Language Models. NLP, Deep Learning architectures, Generative AI, and Robotics, deeply interest me. I am aware and closely follow developments in LLM frameworks like LlamaIndex, LangChain, Llamaware, etc. I am fond of classical image processing and have worked on various computer vision projects employing varied image pre-processing, augmentation, feature engineering, segmentation, etc. I have hands-on experience with developing and validating classical machine learning models like SVM, Decision trees, Random Forest, Boosted trees etc. I habitually look out for and employ best industrial practices in ML for hyper parameter tuning, pipelining, validation, etc. Currently, I am involved in MLOPs practices leveraging AWS cloud to deploy scalable solutions, with a focus on LLMOps. Also, experienced with data ETL, data visualization and modeling using tools like JMP and Python. I like to represent data in simpler forms to make customer reports as fun as possible while providing key business insights! Studied B.Tech Electronics, 2019 from VIT Pune. Spent my engineering days tinkering on various projects in the fields of Image processing, Robotics, Machine Learning, IoT, etc. Hey, a fellow inventor too! ;) In 2024, received a patent grant for our invention based on Image processing under the title "Local Positioning, Monitoring, Navigation and Path Planning using Computer vision". ------------------- Skills ---------------------- NLP, Computer Vision, Image Processing, Machine learning, AI, Data Science, Function Discovery, Data analytics, Programming, Python, C, C++, Java, Linux, MLOps, Tensorflow, Keras, Neural Networks, Deep learning, ML, Data Structures and algorithms, DSA, LLM, Generative AI, LangChain, LlamaIndex, AWS Cloud, PostgreSQL, Fast API.
