About

Imagine being at the forefront of a technological revolution, tackling the impossible. That's my playground. With 12+ years in Generative AI, ML, NLP, and CV, I've gone from founding engineer in unicorns to amassing 20+ patents and publications. I love designing solutions for previously unsolvable, high-impact problems, crafting elegant, future-proof architectures, and building teams and products from scratch. I thrive on creating code that stands the test of time and transforming ideas into groundbreaking realities. Currently, I'm leading a team building intelligent robots to transform one of the world's toughest industries. We're not just boosting efficiency - we're reinventing how work is done in a field known for its physical demands and risks. Here's where you come in. We're seeking brilliant minds to join our quest. If you're fired up about solving high-impact problems with cutting-edge AI and robotics, and ready to change the world, we want you. Ready to turn sci-fi into reality? Let's build the future together! Reach out to me at [tushar at 10xConstruction dot ai]

  • Made algorithms for making Freight Pricing Engine the universal go-to market rate.
  • National Freight Index (NFI) - NFI is a barometer of the road freight spot market, offering an aggregated picture of both, live rates and historical trends of spot prices across 150 different combinations. NFI can cater to use cases for logistics decision makers, researchers, sales force of trucking related businesses (OEMs, NBFCs), researchers, academicians and students. The underlying data used for computing the indices is based on Rivigo’s marketplace transactions and machine learning and economics principles powered algorithms that use
  • millions of data points.
  • Relay as a Service Simulation Platform: Built a scalable and extensible simulation platform from scratch incorporating details of Rivigo's Relay algorithm. Incorporated various algorithms like: Pilot allocation engine, Vehicle planning engine etc. in it to make it as close as real operational system. Added machine learning based models for detention prediction and wait for load computation in the simulation platform.
  • Network Equations: Made equations for running the network. It consists of 6 equations and calculates the gross margin per hour which will be incurred if the given demand is accepted. It is calculated using recursive formulation of incorporating current trip margins and future trip margins. It also incorporates the factors like rejection cost of given demand, wait for load for next load at destination, network balance/imbalance happening due to acceptance of current demand and future demand, detention at client warehouse and dry run in current and future trips. It showed 10% growth in Gross Margin/hour via simulation engine.
  • Pilot Resource Planning (PRP): Made stochastic gradient descent based algorithm for finding optimal number of pilots at a given pitstop and testing the results using Simulation Platform. This showed around 16% increase in truck utility and 8% increase in pilot utility.
