What I'm looking for

I want to grow with the organization in a greater role with greater responsibilities—building data science and analytics that improve ADAS and customer outcomes, especially by reducing false positive rates, while staying innovative and process-focused.

I’m a Senior Data Scientist with a robust background in data science and analytics, motivated by enhancing customer experiences by reducing false positive rates. I build and apply big-data science and analytics in the ADAS domain, and I’m result-oriented—driven to learn from feedback and continuously improve.

At Mercedes Benz Research & Development India (MBRDI), I’ve delivered measurable impact: I enhanced true positive rates by 65% in Mercedes Benz fleet equipped with ADAS. I also filed four high-impact patents, with two already implemented in Mercedes Benz fleet and recognized through Implemented Patent Awards.

My work is hands-on and end-to-end: I use Python and data/visualization tooling such as Pandas, NumPy, Folium, Plotly, Matplotlib, PySpark, and scikit-learn to implement machine learning solutions. I also leverage Power BI for analytics communication, and I apply SQL and disciplined engineering practices to support reliable modeling and decision-making.

Beyond industry impact, I’ve been actively engaged in research—publishing several high-impact research papers and contributing to projects like Singapore Railway simulator development. I bring a perfectionist, innovation-focused mindset (“Doing things right the first time”) and I enjoy solving complex problems with growth mindset, including earlier computer vision work for luggage pose estimation that achieved close to 80% accuracy.
