AI/ML and analytics professional at Garuda Aerospace, who deployed a crop-health CNN for live drone video.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
At Garuda Aerospace Pvt. Ltd., I fine-tuned a ResNet-based CNN for crop-health classification and anomaly detection on live drone video, then deployed it through a browser-based dashboard used by field operators. I also deployed visual odometry with an Extended Kalman Filter, improving positional accuracy by 70–80% against independent GPS ground truth over 100+ test flights.
At Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Dharwad, I developed a ROS2-based interface for an AI-assisted conveyor-belt defect-detection system and built a Python pipeline to turn multi-sensor time-series into analysis-ready datasets. I designed a GUM-compliant validation and QC framework benchmarked against three independent ground-truth sources.
My projects include a credit-risk scorecard and prediction pipeline evaluated with AUC-ROC, Gini, and KS, as well as SQL and Power BI analysis of insurance policyholder lapse drivers. I’m an Aerospace Engineering undergraduate focused on applying machine learning, computer vision, and analytics to practical engineering problems.
