I'm Aravind Reddy Pesaru, a Senior AI/ML Engineer with 12+ years of experience delivering scalable AI/ML solutions across FinTech, Industrial Manufacturing, Telecom, Healthcare, and Retail. I design end-to-end systems—data ingestion, feature engineering, model development, deployment, API integration, and production monitoring—using modern ML engineering practices. I specialize in fraud detection, churn prediction, predictive maintenance, risk modeling, demand forecasting, and recommendation systems. I am proficient in Python, SQL, PySpark, and cloud platforms (AWS, Azure), with hands-on experience in real-time inference, MLOps, model governance, and explainability (SHAP/LIME). I enjoy collaborating with product and risk teams to translate complex ML into business value and mentoring teams toward scalable AI platform architectures.
