What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic role that fosters innovation and collaboration in AI and data science.

I'm Pranay Kundu, a Lead AI Engineer with a strong focus on decentralized finance (DeFi) and data science. My journey began with a B.Tech in Electronics and Communications Engineering, and I have since evolved into a leader in AI-driven solutions. At Fortytwo Money, I spearheaded the development of an AI-driven code generation engine that transforms natural language prompts into complete dApps, enhancing user engagement and operational efficiency.

Throughout my career, I have successfully launched data science functions, built large-scale data pipelines, and developed innovative analytics platforms. My experience at Coinswitch involved leading a team of analysts and engineers, where I implemented advanced machine learning models and automated A/B testing to optimize marketing strategies. I take pride in my ability to leverage data-driven insights to refine product roadmaps and enhance user experiences.

As a passionate advocate for the intersection of AI and blockchain technology, I have been recognized among the top engineers in the crypto and AI space. I am committed to continuous learning and innovation, and I thrive in collaborative environments where I can contribute to cutting-edge projects that drive meaningful change.
