Data Scientist skilled in NLP and machine learning solutions.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated Data Scientist with a strong foundation in machine learning and natural language processing. Currently, I am leveraging my expertise at PolicyBazaar, where I have developed advanced classification and Named Entity Recognition models that significantly enhance operational efficiency. My work has led to a 20% reduction in workload for the Operations team, showcasing my ability to deliver impactful solutions.
Previously, I honed my skills as a Machine Learning Engineer at Skit AI, where I successfully managed the lifecycle of multi-lingual intent classifiers for various clients. My contributions to an automated Machine Learning platform streamlined processes, reducing the time required for model deployment from a day to just eight minutes. I have also interned at prestigious organizations, including Google and Qatar Computing Research Institute, where I developed innovative classifiers and tools to combat disinformation.
