About me
Hi, thanks for visiting my site. I’m a data scientist with over 6+ years of data science comprehensive industry experience. I have a PhD in Geo-Engineering (Geospatial Engineer) from Andhra University and published important documents. Proficient at building robust NLP/NLU machine/Deep learning algorithm and Conversational AI. 10+ year of academic research experience in performance, large scale computational physics. I am evergreen learner with an undying passion for data. I aim to always impress and have been known for my ability to perform under pressure and complete projects in an insanely fast timeframe. Aside from these things, aspire voice for voiceless🎤, avid reader 📚, podcast listener 🎧, and IOT lurker 👓!.

I train and develop machine/deep learning models

With years of experience in data science I have mastered the skills of understanding client requirements according to the latest trends. I have worked with businesses from different niches so you can rely on me for yours.

I’ve spent most of these years working across different areas data science such as building Conversational AI using AWS Lex, Azure, Dialogflow, IBM Watson, Rasa, give service in statistical data analysis and exploration and design machine/deep learning model . I create a the state of the art data science product aimed at revolutionizing the way businesses achieved the states goal.

Having worked on various projects that are already live, I can help you with the best possible suggestions and ideas that we can proceed with. With me, you aren’t forced to accept anything. I give you a variety of options we can work on together.

What I do

From understanding your business requirements, creating ETL pipeline and design data modeling processes to create algorithms and predictive models and perform custom analysis, I do everything that falls in between these lines.

Conversational AI

Building intelligent chatbot using different platform such as AWS Lex, Azure, Dialogflow, IBM Watson, Rasa, is what captures attention and brings customer satisfaction. I make sure the design is innovative and neat with all of this.

Statistical analysis

If you are looking for a solution for your data I strive not only to present you with high end Client-specific accurate results but also to ensure that you understand the analytic techniques utilized to obtain your results. I am a well-established professional to help you with this.

Model Development

If you are looking for a user-friendly machine/deep learning app that will enhancing business scalability and improving business operations, I can help you design and build a platform with the latest and trendiest state of the art solution.

Skills

My 15+ years storytelling journey equipped with design thinking. To create an effective story with clear message i applied Predictive analysis, data mining & wrangling, model development & deployment, model optimization and maintaining techniques where i synthesize insights that inspire great works. By creating a data hub, i deliver the consumer values and build them into experiences in authentic and organic ways. i built a model to provide valuable insights that will generate the desired results, as well as invaluable cautions as to potential unintended consequences highlighted by my models. Through optimization i enable my client to preview how the consumer would respond to developed, deployed model and test any adjustments they would like to make.
