About

Data Scientist II / Machine Learning Engineer with 3 years building and deploying production Machine Learning and Deep Learning systems across Computer Vision, LiDAR, and spatial analytics. Strong in Python, model lifecycle management, statistics, and experimentation, with hands-on MLOps (Docker, FastAPI, Kafka, AWS) and a working foundation in Generative AI, Large Language Models (LLMs), and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG). Proven record of turning models into measurable business outcomes. B.Tech, Electrical Engineering, IIT (BHU) Varanasi.

What I'm looking for

Data Scientist / ML Engineer roles in spatial ML, computer vision, or geospatial analytics — ideally at companies working on autonomous systems, mapping, robotics, or logistics. Also open to GenAI/RAG-adjacent roles where I can apply my production ML background while continuing to build LLM/agentic systems experience.
