About

AI/ML engineer and data scientist with experience developing machine learning, NLP, RAG, and backend systems using Python, PyTorch, TensorFlow, Scikit-learn, FastAPI, and MongoDB. Worked across telecom analytics, healthcare NLP research, and end-to-end AI products involving model evaluation, retrieval, recommendation systems, and production deployment.

Experience spans model experimentation, evaluation, backend integration, and deployment of real-world AI applications — from 4G/5G anomaly detection and traffic forecasting at MasTec to hyperlocal community platforms, voice-memory apps, and medical chatbot research published at IEEE ACCAI 2024.

Experience

  • MasTec India LLP

    Data Scientist

    January 2023 – August 2024

    Built 4G/5G anomaly-detection pipelines by cleaning KPI data with Pandas, engineering statistical features, and training Scikit-learn models to identify abnormal cell-site behavior, while using Git for version control and collaborative development relevant to active sprints.

    Developed traffic/capacity forecasting models from utilization, throughput, and time-based features to predict congestion-prone sites and support proactive planning.

    Implemented RF analysis across RSRP, RSRQ, SINR, latency, handover success rate, and PRB utilization, producing site-level performance indicators for optimization teams.

    Automated feature-engineering and ETL pipelines from SQL/network logs using Python/NumPy, including normalization, encoding, rolling averages, trend features, and validation.

    Created Isolation Forest and clustering workflows for unsupervised anomaly detection and built FastAPI inference services exposing trained models through REST endpoints.

Publication

MEDOBOT · First Author · IEEE ACCAI 2024

Developed a medical chatbot for patient queries, medical question answering, appointment scheduling, and doctor recommendation. Fine-tuned and compared BERT and BioBERT using PyTorch and Hugging Face, with BioBERT outperforming BERT on the medical question-answering task.

Collaborated with doctors to collect, review, and validate medical question-answer data. Maintained separate training and benchmark datasets so evaluation examples were not exposed during model training. BioBERT achieved approximately 88% accuracy on the held-out evaluation dataset, with full system-level testing of response relevance and task completion.
