Let me delineate my skills, contributions, achievements, qualifications, relevant experiences, and career goals on this page.

Professional Certifications & Exams

I earned this certificate by passing the exam which tested my ability to build and train deep learning models using TensorFlow. The participants of this exam will develop models for Image Classification, Natural Language Processing, Time Series Sequences and Prediction using CNNs, RNNs, LSTMs, GRUs.

I earned this certification by passing an exam that tested my fundamental understanding of IT services and their uses in the AWS Cloud. The earners of this certification demonstrates cloud fluency and foundational AWS knowledge. As an AWS badge owner I am skilled in identifying the essential AWS services necessary to set up AWS-focused projects.

This certificate is provided by Google to ceritfy that the candidate understands the advanced Google analytics concepts.

Those who earn the Google Data Analytics Certificate have completed eight courses, developed by Google, that include hands-on, practice-based assessments and are designed to prepare them for roles in Data Analytics. They are competent in tools and platforms including spreadsheets, SQL, Tableau, and R. They know how to prepare, process, analyze, and share data for thoughtful action.

Data Scientist Intern at BMW

January 2023 - December 2023

Data Management Team, BMW Financial Services

Developed a Financial Statement Analysis with LLM Powered Chatbot.  The app loads and splits PDF documents creating embedding database to extract similar and relevant text embeddings using MMR to get the most relevant and appropriate summaries for the given question.

Deployed Customer Pain Points Analyzer using Hugging Face Language Models to deliver automated analytics for the Marketing team. Fine-tuned LDA to extract salient topics and sentiments for automated topic visualizations.

Enhanced Sentiment and Topic Analysis Model using OpenAI's GPT.  The system is planned to be used for full-scale, comprehensive analytical inferences from the customer verbatim.

ADAS Engineering Team, BMW of North America, New Jersey

Designed & Implemented a Machine Learning workload using AWS S3 bucket, SageMaker, Autopilot, and PySpark. Extract, Transform and Load to preprocess real-time data sourced from BMW passenger vehicles. 

Improved Emergency stop assist feature in Advanced Driver Assistance System by Detecting Anomalies. User's usage metrics were extracted and processed to be deployed as a QuickSight application on AWS to analyse real-time metrics.  

Graduate Software Engineering Assistant at RIT

December 2021 - December 2022

Software Engineering Department, Rochester Institute of Technology, Rochester, New York

AWS image classification as service for academic department’s research. Built a Deep Learning Classifier with AWS SageMaker. Model was built using EC2, S3, and was deployed as a secure web app using Lambda, API Gateway and was made scaled using autoscaling. React.js, Node.js and MongoDB were used to build the full-stack website. 

Recommendation of refactoring techniques to address Self-Admitted Technical Debts in software code bases. Given SATD comments the model will return a list of refactoring methods. The architecture included comparison of Random Forest, SVM, CNN, LSTM models using Keras. MongoDB was used to store the data and model.

Assisted a researcher with ML and Pattern Recognition in autonomous vehicles systems by building a novel model to accurately classify all 11 spoofed RADAR data inputs using Dempster Shafer Theory of Uncertainty.

Machine Learning & Analytics Volunteer at Luxgenic Infotech
