At HelpUsDefend, I designed and implemented a lip reading training data collection API using deep learning models. I also streamlined collaboration and improved delivery efficiency by managing the team's GitLab.

I instructed over 50 students in web development through both in-person and remote classes. My role involved leading curriculum development, content delivery, and hands-on practice, resulting in a holistic learning experience. This effort earned me the Changemaker award for my contributions. Notably, I witnessed a significant increase in students' interest in computer science.

During my tenure at Zoho Corporation, I led the development of a high-performance REST API for a blockchain-based time-stamping app, optimizing it for a 99% reduction in API calls. I also enhanced the Distributed File System backend, achieving a 10x performance boost, and contributed to a 400% product usage increase via Web3 technologies.

I joined OFS, a tech powerhouse, driving software development using TestNG for internal training apps. I cut recruitment costs 50% by training an ML model and secured new projects with a custom NER model in spaCy. My agile approach and collaboration with Data Scientists led to impactful AI-driven improvements. My outstanding performance earned me a promotion to the Data Science team.
