Experience

Upwork June 2020 - Present

Freelance Machine Learning Engineer
• COVID-19 detection using Eye-Images : Worked in the development of machine learning
models for developing a non-invasive method of detecting COVID-19 through eye-images. Then
did hyperparameter tunings of these models to get the best model for our use-case. Also worked
on cross-validation of the results. Then deployed these models on AWS ec2 instances. After
deploying these models, created a MLflow tracking server on AWS fargate and created endpoints
for these models using AWS EKS (kubernetes clusters).
Tools/Skills : Python, AWS, CNN, SVM, LIME, Deep Learning, MLflow, Kubernetes, Docker,
MLOps, Flask.

• Data Extraction through APIs and Visualization by PowerBI dashboards: Worked on

a project in which I had to first extract information about the US senators and house of
representatives by using APIs from datausa.io using azure synapse serverless compute. Then using
this information, I had to create spark tables which were then exported to PowerBI. In PowerBI,
I worked on creating useful, pretty, responsive dashboards that gave us all the information.
Tools/Skills : Python, SQL, Azure Synapse, PowerBI, PySpark

• Twitter Sentiment Analysis : Worked on a project in which I had to first extract tweets of
US senators and house of representatives by using twitter developer platform. After extracting
this information I had to use NLP to create a word cloud for each one of them, so that we get an
idea about the issues/policies that they truly care about or tweet about.
Tools/Skills : Python, NLP, Spark, Spacy, NLTK.

Escorts Construction Equipment Ltd Oct 2019 - Apr 2020

GET-Operations
• Worked in the planning/SCM division of the plant. Analysed there existing system and proposed
the use of algorithms in various aspects of the company, such as planning, surveying, pre-bidding,
budgeting, scheduling, forecasting sales, quality and cost control and equipment management.
Tools/Skills : Python, Machine learning, Algorithms, Automation.

JSW December 2017- Jan 2018

Research and Development Intern
• Worked on a project titled ”Analysis and Optimization of Roll Life”. This project revolved
around analyzing and implementing Deep Learning/Machine Learning based algorithms for
analyzing the effect of different operating parameters like diameter, material, coating, roughness
value and the kind of lubrication system on the life of our work rolls and backup rolls.
Tools/Skills : Python, Deep Learning, Regression Models
