What I'm looking for

I'm open to relocating and looking to build production machine learning, generative AI, and decision-support systems that improve forecasting, commercial planning, and analytical workflows.

I'm building production forecasting, commercial analytics, and AI decision-support systems at Tredence for global CPG teams. I reduced SKU-store-week forecast error from 24% to 18% WMAPE and shortened planning cycles from 2.5 days to under one day.

At Accenture, I built guided-selling recommendations and trade-promotion optimization for beverage distribution and biopharmaceutical clients. My work supported a 3–5% incremental net sales uplift, reduced model-training runtime by 80%, and improved reporting turnaround by over 60%.

Earlier at ISRO, I developed sensor-fusion, trajectory-prediction, and telemetry anomaly-detection pipelines for launch missions. I work across Python, SQL, PySpark, Databricks, machine learning, RAG, and agentic AI to turn complex data into production decisions.
