  • Collaborated closely with cross-functional teams to conduct thorough analysis of extensive sales data, resulting in a substantial improvement in prediction accuracy.
  • Spearheaded the training of a Deep Neural Network within the Keras framework to forecast a 2-hour delivery window for a logistics client's package delivery. This involved comprehensive data pre-processing and training on Azure Databricks. Subsequent post-modeling analysis, including the creation of a confusion matrix and computation of accuracies, was carried out for an ensemble model.
  • Led the end-to-end design, development, and seamless implementation of advanced ML Pipelines, which significantly enhanced the prediction capabilities for sales failures.
  • Engineered and deployed a sophisticated web application for document question-answering, leveraging the GPT4ALL Large Language Model (LLM) and LangChain framework. The application is poised for deployment on Streamlit to ensure user-friendly access.
  • Leveraged Microsoft Azure's state-of-the-art services to drive efficiency in both application development and deployment processes, particularly in the realm of MLOps.
  • Demonstrated expertise in managing the application development lifecycle using Microsoft Azure DevOps, ensuring a smooth and efficient workflow.
  • Exemplified strong leadership and mentorship qualities by guiding a team of 6 junior associates in developing expertise in applications with GPT4ALL LLM and LangChain framework.
