Work Experience

Senior Consultant Data Science at DataRopes.ai
June 1, 2022 - Present
Lead a team of data scientists and engineers to develop and deploy advanced Generative AI, Large Language Models (LLM), and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) solutions, driving innovation and measurable business impact for clients in the US and UK. Designed scalable AI solutions including Executive Insights Chatbot and Multi-Agent Customer Support Bot leveraging GPT-4, LangChain, LangGraph, and vector databases such as Pinecone and FAISS. Achieved operational improvements such as 50% reduction in query resolution times and saved 20+ hours per week for executive teams. Built memory-enabled persistent chatbots for real estate using LLaMA 3.2, LangSmith, and Azure Kubernetes Service with a 40% improvement in customer engagement. Implemented end-to-end MLOps pipelines for CI/CD and monitoring on Google Cloud Platform and Microsoft Azure to ensure scalability and cost-efficiency. Developed predictive models and deployed transformer-based architectures to enhance decision-making and opera
Consultant Data Science at Systems Limited
December 31, 2022 - July 22, 2025
Collaborated closely with clients to understand requirements, conducted Proof of Concepts (POCs), and developed production-ready machine learning pipelines using Python and GCP Vertex AI. Led a high-performing team of data scientists managing project delivery within tight timelines. Built advanced graph-based recommendation and churn prediction models with neural graph architectures to enhance customer engagement and retention. Deployed a hierarchical frequently-bought-together model from data of 4 million+ transactions on GCP Vertex AI that increased basket size by 8%. Developed comprehensive machine learning pipelines in logistics domain on GCP, including data ingestion from BigQuery, parallel time-series construction, and optimization model deployment.
Researcher at Otto von Guericke University, Magdeburg
June 30, 2020 - July 22, 2025
Managed a team of four to implement an events and dynamic topics detection pipeline on live Twitter data using NLP across multiple moving time windows. Integrated Twitter Live Tweets API for event extraction through named entity recognition and clustering of similar events. Filtered and identified bursting events to determine audience interest. Achieved an 85% accuracy in entity detection for event identification and 82% accuracy with Dynamic LDA for latent topic detection within events.
