About Me


I'm a Machine Learning Engineer working at eBay. I did my MS in Computer Science and Engineering from SUNY Buffalo. After specializing in software engineering, I thought, "Why not teach machines to learn so I can take longer coffee breaks?" During my studies, I dove into projects involving neural networks and AI—turns out, machines appreciate data even more than I appreciate a good pizza. Previously, I was at Infosys, collaborating with industry veterans and sharpening my technical skills—and my wit. Worked on diverse projects that boosted my logical abilities and out-of-the-box thinking (though sometimes the box was just a cleverly disguised bug ;)

Acumen

Innovative. Reliable. Scalable. Impactful.

As a Machine Learning Engineer, I build systems that don't just work—they learn and evolve. With a solid grasp of software, data, and infrastructure, I love turning complex problems into innovative, scalable solutions that actually make a difference.

  • Making machines smarter(a bit)

    I love turning data into actionable insights and intelligent systems. Using Python and frameworks like TensorFlow and PyTorch, I build machine learning models that don't just work—they make an impact. My knack for data processing and algorithms helps me create solutions that handle big data without breaking a sweat. Whether it's training models or deploying them into the wild, I enjoy the whole journey of bringing AI projects to life.

  • Turning Big Data into Big Insights

    Data doesn't organize itself—but that's where I come in. I design and maintain data pipelines using Python, Java, and Spark that keep the information flowing smoothly. Extracting real-time insights from massive datasets is kind of my thing, and it helps businesses make smarter, data-driven choices.

  • Navigating the Cloud with Ease

    I take pride in simplifying cloud technologies like AWS, Terraform, Docker, and Kubernetes. Whether it's deploying new services or scaling existing ones, I focus on making complex infrastructures accessible and efficient. Automating tasks and optimizing resources? That's where the magic happens.

  • Wrangling distributed systems

    I enjoy diving into distributed systems like Hadoop, Spark, Hive, and Kafka to process huge amounts of data. Designing efficient and reliable solutions that keep performance up and handle faults gracefully? That's what I do. Big data in a distributed environment doesn't have to be daunting, and I make sure it isn't.

  • Automating Deployments

    I love making deployments smooth and hassle-free using CI/CD tools like Jenkins, Ansible, and Git. Keeping everything automated and under version control means fewer headaches and more time for the fun stuff. When it comes to data pipelines, Airflow is my trusty sidekick for keeping things efficient and reliable.

Projects

(This section is under development) Some of my notable projects I've worked on.

Machine Learning

Lyft Motion Prediction for Autonomous Vehicles

Project Link

Project implemented as a part of Lyft's Prediction challenge on Kaggle

Distributed Systems

Distributed Key-Value Storage

Project Link

This is a ~1000 line distributed key value store, with support for replication, multiple machines, and multiple drives per machine. Optimized for values between 1MB and 1GB. Inspired by SeaweedFS, but simple. Should scale to billions of files and petabytes of data.

Natural Language Processing
