Experiences

Master Thesis Student

Oct 2017 - Present
Centrum Wiskunde and Informatica (Amsterdam, NL)

A sensor-agnostic approach towards sleep classification by using Unsupervised Feature learning models. The research is based on employing 1D-ConvNets and LSTM layers to improve the classification accuracy of sleep classification system using wearable data.

Machine Learning Engineer

Feb 2016 - Present
TurtleShell Technologies Pvt. Ltd. (Bengaluru, IN)

Machine learning pipeline for predicting and quantifying the sleep quality of an individual from ballistocardiogram (BCG) signal. Improved classification accuracy to 65-70% and replaced the rule-based system with ML.

Machine Learning Intern

Jun 2017 - Aug 2017
Zoho Corporation (Chennai, IN)

Bayesian Optimization model on pgSQL DB to to reduce the bloating and downtime caused due to manual vacuuming. Improved the reduction in DB lockdown by 40% (4-5sec per table). Has been deployed into the production environment of some of their business products.

Projects

HeyDobby - An assistant-cum-chatbot that I developed for powering my home IoT hub, Smart Mirror and for providing real-time speech-to-text transcription. The ultimate aim is to make it aware of the surroundings and recognize the speaker, thus helping people with hearing disability to understand and communicate in a group. Technology stack: Python, TensorFlow, RPi, Flask, Wit.ai
Credit Fraud Detection - Anomaly Detection on Adyen's credit dataset using PCA and ARIMA models. Technology stack: Python, scikit-learn, statsmodel.
CareFinder - A web search engine to search for hospitals and clinics by the type of specialist care they offer. Technology stack: Python, BeautifulSoup, Neo4J
