With 7 years of experience in Data Science and a total experience of 12 years, I specialize in Natural Language Processing (NLP). My proficiency in NLP libraries such as NLTK, spaCy, OpenAI, and Hugging Face Transformers allows me to rapidly engineer and optimize models for production-grade deployment. My agile development skills, MLFlow expertise, and AWS proficiency ensure seamless model management and exceptional performance. I use powerful techniques such as Transformer Architecture redesign, Data Augmentation, and Hyperparameter optimization to guarantee optimal results. My strengths lie in developing LLM models for specific languages and domains, creating custom tokenization, and implementing Named Entity Recognition (NER) within NLP pipelines. My ultimate goal is to provide innovative NLP solutions that have a tangible impact. As the NLP field constantly evolves, I inspire creativity and offer game-changing solutions to ensure continued success.

NLP Researcher (PhD)

PSG College of Technology
Feb, 2021 - Present4 yr 4 months
    Engineered & deployed IR system combining TF-IDF, BM25, language modeling, boosting e-commerce catalog searchability. Created a named entity recognition (NER) model using spaCy to identify the medication names in the ICD-10 dataset. Trained a Llama model on the NER-processed ICD-10 dataset to predict disease diagnoses based on prescriptions. Demonstrated the potential of LLMs for this task by having the Llama model outperform other methods on a held-out test set through the integration of NER.
