About

As a Staff Data Scientist at Ushur, I strive to provide data-driven and AI-powered end-to-end solutions for challenging business problems. I combine software principles with the power of AI/ML to ensure value creation at scale. I have close to three years of experience in designing and developing AI/ML micro-services, covering all aspects of software design, LLM applications, LLM interfaces, Python, Distributed Computing, Prompt engineering, model/data versioning, pipelines, model optimization, explainability, and hosting. I have successfully executed multiple customer projects in the fields of document transformation, data extraction, and text classification, achieving state-of-the-art accuracy on enterprise data and delivering value at scale. I hold a Bachelor of Technology degree (B.Tech) in Computer Science from NIT Durgapur, where I served as the treasurer of the programming community and honed my skills in problem solving, technical leadership, and object-oriented programming. I am also certified in machine learning operations by the School of AI. I am passionate about leveraging AI/ML to automate and optimize processes and create business value.
