● Leading design and development of Computer Vision and Machine Learning systems.
● Designing software architecture for deployment on production servers; sometimes using Docker images.
● Communicating with clients to determine their expectations from our products and services.
● Designing APIs for communication of services using REST and gRPC.

Senior Machine Learning Engineer

● Improving language translation accuracy using statistical machine translation so that clients could make decisions based on customer feedback. Accuracy was improved by more than 10%.
● Setting up a Machine Learning API for text classification and sentiment analysis to provide clients with actionable insights regarding their products and services. By the end of the project, the company had an in-house implementation of Machine Learning classifiers and data pre-processing tools. This helped train new engineers and encouraged them to contribute to the API.

Analyst Software Engineer

● Responsible for design and simulation of Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) protocols in Network Simulator 3. Development of a protocol customized for a WSN which acquired weather data and water level of canal from sensors that were placed along the length of the canal.
● Leading a team of 18 TAs for a class with roster size of around 200 students. Responsibilities included but were not limited ensuring timely grading of assignments and projects along with organizing lab sessions and conducting recitations and tutorials. The timely delivery of results with a team of 18 people required management skills along with the ability to motivate team members to help their juniors with course projects.

Research Associate and Teaching Assistant

Localization of mobile platforms by fusing data from multiple sensors. Developing a modular implementation of Kalman Filter and Extended Kalman Filter in Robot Operating System (ROS) using C++.

Summer Research Associate

I have worked as a Natural Language Processing programmer at TRG Tech. The focus of my work was hierarchical text classification (including sentiment analysis). Here I also worked with word and document embedding for use in classification tasks. I wrote my own classifiers from scratch and also got a chance to work with well known libraries like sklearn and gensim.

My research project is related to constructing images that have been distorted by rain, snow and other weather conditions. I am using cycle GANs to solve this problem. This project involves tuning of hyperparameters of neural networks.

My experience as a backend developer at TRG Tech has equipped me with sufficient programming skills to tackle any challenge in the field. I have been using various languages at work and for my personal projects. I wrote my first computer program back in 2004 and since then I have been writing code that addresses a broad range of fields, including but not limited to Electrical Engineering, Computer Science and Finance.
