About

ML Engineer with 11+ years of experience across retail, automobile, and entertainment industries. I design and build ML/data pipelines and products that drive measurable impact. I’ve led mid-sized teams delivering end-to-end ML workflows, and served as a people manager for data engineers, scientists, and analysts. I contribute actively to solution design, architecture, model development, and production delivery of AI systems.

I enjoy contributing to FOSS, am an active member of local data and Python communities, a regular Stack Overflow contributor, and a frequent speaker at meetups and conferences. Hackathons are my happy place—from problem understanding and ideation to architecture and implementation.
