What I'm looking for

I want a Data Scientist job where in I can make autonomous decisions and have ownership of the product.

Experienced professional with over 5 years of expertise in Machine Learning, Deep Learning, Data Science, Computer Vision, NLP, Azure Databricks, and GCP. Holding a postgraduate degree in data science from Liverpool John Moores University, I bring a wealth of knowledge and hands-on experience to the table.

As a Data Scientist at Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) in Mumbai, Maharashtra, I specialize in leveraging advanced algorithms like DBSCAN to optimize non-maintenance interventions in oil production, resulting in significant cost savings. Furthermore, I have developed efficient Python scripts automating SQL query generation, leading to substantial time savings.

Previously, I served as an ML Engineer at Searce Inc. in Pune, Maharashtra, where I spearheaded the implementation of Vertex AI training pipelines and developed innovative solutions such as a Background Removal Application, achieving impressive model evaluations.

During my tenure as a Consultant-Package Implementation at LTI in Mumbai from 2018 to 2021, I managed security requests in JDE ERP, ensuring compliance and resolving numerous support activities.

Beyond my professional experience, my projects, such as the Face Skin Analyzer and Indian Food Recognition, demonstrate my expertise in computer vision and deep learning. I am proficient in Python, SQL, and skilled in frameworks like TensorFlow, Keras, and Fast.ai.

Active on platforms like Kaggle and Medium, I stay updated with industry knowledge and share my expertise with the community. Recently, I completed courses on cybersecurity to broaden my skill set.
I am confident that my diverse skill set and track record of delivering impactful solutions make me a valuable asset to any team. Explore my profiles on LinkedIn, GitHub, Kaggle, Medium, and Hugging Face to learn more about my work. I look forward to connecting with you and discussing potential opportunities.
