Work Experience

Sr. AI/ML Engineer at Fiserv
January 1, 2025 - Present
Delivered a production-grade AI-powered test generation platform 'Worktop' that ingests Jira/Confluence requirements, automates test creation/execution, and analyzes failures. Implemented the Model Context Protocol (MCP) with custom MCP Servers to securely expose external data to LLMs, and built an end-to-end RAG architecture (FAISS for local cache, Pinecone for production) grounded to banking protocols. Orchestrated agent workflows with LangChain to autonomously generate test scripts and auto-update Jira tickets; established a Self-Healing RLHF feedback loop and a CI/CD pipeline on AWS using Terraform, Docker, and GitHub Actions.
Sr AI/ML Engineer at Comcast
August 1, 2023 - December 1, 2024
Designed end-to-end RAG architecture for document intelligence using Azure AI Document Intelligence OCR, pre-processing with OpenCV, and Azure Databricks for indexing. Implemented embedding-based semantic search with Sentence Transformers and Azure AI Search, with cross-encoder reranking for top contexts. Generated structured JSON outputs with chain-of-thought prompts and used LLMs-as-Judges for factuality. Performed parameter-efficient fine-tuning with LoRA/QLoRA on Azure ML and deployed agent workflows with LangGraph for multi-step retrieval, risk analysis, and summation; built a real-time React dashboard with Azure Functions and AKS.
AI/ML Engineer at Charter Communications
December 1, 2019 - July 1, 2023
Transformed Tier-1 bot from a rule-based system to a GenAI-powered assistant by indexing 10M+ transcripts using Google Vector Search, enabling hybrid semantic + keyword retrieval. Built a 200-intent classifier with CNN+RNN and BERT embeddings, guiding context-aware responses and escalation. Implemented few-shot prompting, chain-of-thought reasoning, and LangChain integration with Google Vertex Gemini Pro; developed a real-time dashboard (React) with Cloud Run, and managed model orchestration via Vertex AI Pipelines and Kubeflow; integrated SAP CRM for live data access and audit trails.
Data Scientist at Flair Network Systems Pvt Ltd
January 1, 2016 - August 1, 2019
Built scalable PySpark ETL pipelines on Databricks for unifying data from sales, distribution, and warehouses. Implemented time-series forecasting with LSTM and Prophet, applied feature engineering and external data enrichment, and deployed FastAPI endpoints for model inference. Created dashboards in Power BI/React, automated retraining with MLflow and Airflow, and deployed across cloud platforms using Docker/Kubernetes; achieved 30% forecast accuracy gains and reduced stockouts.
Python Developer at Technotrust Solutions
May 1, 2014 - December 1, 2015
Developed Python ETL pipelines with Pandas/SQLAlchemy, built modular Flask/FastAPI backends, and implemented ML-driven churn/predictive analytics with TF-IDF and sentiment analysis. Automated report generation and built REST APIs, collaborated with cross-functional teams, and introduced CI/CD with GitHub Actions; improved data delivery speed and reduced manual reporting.
