Work

Co-Founder & Data Scientist

MyProp IndiaMay 2023 - Present

Here, I build technology driven real estate solutions. A prominent project is the deployment of an AI based land analytics system. I've also built a Face Identification model using PyTorch to count users walking in and out of a location to provide analytics of customer behaviours in in the location, which can improve customer hospitality, in locations that have stores like retail etc.

I'm also involved in business development, business expansion strategies and customer acquisition strategies.

Data Engineer

TEAL IndiaAugust 2023 - April 2024

Developed dynamic scraping algorithms using Python, Tesseract, and IndicTranslate to extract over 3 million historical revenue court cases, digital land records and property transactions from government court records and SOLR to index them. Developed and took independent responsibility for a Graph network based document validation system to validate the completeness of a title chain and predict flag potential missing links in the chain with an accuracy of 91%.

Data Science Intern

HP IncJanuary 2022 - May 2022

Performed Root cause analysis for fault detection in manufacturing processes using Bayesian Belief Networks to reduce downtime by 15%. Developed pre-processing tool of automation pipeline, incremental learning algorithms to update the BBN and leveraged Pytest to unit test the tool, and FastAPI, Streamlit & Plotly to deploy the user-interface.

Data Science Intern

Shopee SingaporeMay 2021 - November 2021

Developed a general brand detection model pipeline to identify logos in daily objects present in product listings and classify brands by employing the OpenCV, YOLOv5 and Pytorch Frameworks. Employed image pre-processing techniques, produced custom training edge cases, finetuned open-source CNN models, etc to improve recall & precision from 0.1 to 0.35 & 0.6 respectively (150 class model)

Full Stack Project Intern

Ubisoft SingaporeJuly 2021 - September 2021

Designed end-to-end video game credits extraction service using OCR model to extract names and job titles of various people working on the game. Created a Flask and React based website to bind profiles of people listed in-game to Linkedin profiles, to deliver a real time search repository of game developers.
