@udaykhanna
I build data pipelines, forecasting models, and production-inspired GenAI analytics systems.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I've built analytics and AI systems across trade intelligence, policy research, electronics manufacturing, and public-interest analysis. At Pahle India Foundation, I designed multi-stage HR analytics for an HCLTech client and used GIS and satellite imagery to support granular poverty estimation in Uttar Pradesh.
At MAIT, I developed data pipelines, Power BI dashboards, and Python/QGIS analytics for electronics trade, HSN-level customs data, and policy impact. I turned customs notifications, PIB releases, and industry news into actionable sector insights.
I've also built RAG assistants, anomaly-detection and alerting platforms, and electricity-demand forecasting systems using Python, FastAPI, PostgreSQL, Docker, Pinecone, MCP, and automation workflows.
