@sourishsarkar
Data scientist specializing in probabilistic modeling and ML for decision support.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I am a data scientist with hands-on experience applying machine learning, probabilistic modeling, and simulation to real-world problems across aviation, manufacturing, and game design. I optimize predictive systems and build automated pipelines to translate data into operational decisions.
At Tata Consultancy Services, I reduced unscheduled engine failures by improving forecasting accuracy and establishing performance indices for diagnostics and benchmarking. I proposed cost-effective risk mitigation strategies and deployed models using Random Forests and regression techniques.
My research work focuses on algorithmic strategy and probabilistic decision-making for novel game variants, where I design exact decision algorithms, run large-scale simulations, and produce visualizations to compare strategic outcomes. I also develop combinatorial engines and adaptive AI strategies for card games.
I hold a Master of Science in QMS (Applied Statistics) and a B.Tech in Information Technology, and I combine strong statistical foundations with practical ML tool experience to drive measurable impact and build robust decision-support systems.
