Work Experience

AI & Machine Learning Engineer at C R Technologies
June 1, 2025 - Present
Built reusable Python and PySpark data processing pipelines for healthcare text ingestion, preprocessing, and feature engineering to create model-ready datasets for NLP and GenAI. Improved dataset reliability using profiling, missing-value checks, and schema validation for audit readiness. Developed NLP classification pipelines using Scikit-learn, TensorFlow, PyTorch, and BERT and benchmarked performance using precision/recall/F1 and latency. Built a healthcare document Q&A prototype using LangChain and OpenAI API with embeddings and RAG, ensuring grounded responses from approved sources only. Enhanced generalisation on imbalanced datasets using class weighting, hyperparameter tuning, dropout, and early stopping with validation-curve and error analysis. Containerised ML components with Docker and Kubernetes, exposed predictions via REST APIs with validation and structured outputs, and deployed to GCP/AWS. Implemented Git-based CI/CD with experiment tracking, model versioning, drift det
AI & Machine Learning Engineer at Virtusa (Financial Services)
August 1, 2022 - November 1, 2024
Designed ETL and data processing pipelines (Python, SQL, Pandas, PySpark) for financial services, improving quality with missing-value, outlier, and schema checks. Developed supervised and unsupervised models (Logistic Regression, Decision Trees, Random Forests, XGBoost, SVM, K-Means, KNN) chosen based on explainability, performance, and runtime requirements. Evaluated models using cross-validation and metrics such as ROC AUC, precision, recall, and F1-score to support release decisions. Built NLP pipelines using TF-IDF, embeddings, and BERT for text classification and sentiment analysis, replacing rule-based keyword approaches. Piloted retrieval-based Q&A for financial and enterprise documents using vector embeddings and semantic search to surface relevant clauses and figures. Trained deep learning workflows with CNNs using TensorFlow/Keras/PyTorch (including batch normalisation and dropout) to optimise for production. Deployed trained models as scalable microservices on Google Cloud
