Experience

 
 
 
 
 
Machine Learning Engineer, Capstone Project
May 2022 – Jun 2022 Vancouver, Canada
  • Designed and developed reproducible machine learning pipeline and modularized scripts to detect head collisions in sports videos using YOLOv5 and Resnet 3D algorithms
  • This reproducible pipeline saved 60% of the time spent by humans in analyzing the sports videos manually
 
 
 
 
 
Software Engineer 2
Dell International Svc Pvt Ltd
Apr 2021 – Sep 2021 India
  • Led a team of 3 members and integrated the tool(QE Assistant) with CI/CD pipeline to determine performance bottlenecks before production stage, which reduced the number of production failures by 15% over the course of 18 months
  • Mentored a college intern to help her build chatbot for the in-house performance testing tool(QE Assistant)
 
 
 
 
 
Software Engineer 1
Dell International Svc Pvt Ltd
Aug 2019 – Mar 2021 India
  • Designed and developed an in-house performance testing tool(QE Assistant) from scratch that enables QAs to schedule load tests, identifies performance bottlenecks in Dell web applications, shares customized test reports via email and analyses the quality of the test.
  • This tool reduced time consumed in operational overhead by 40%. It is used by 65% of engineering projects in Dell
 
 
 
 
 
Big Data Intern
Birlasoft Pvt Ltd
May 2018 – Jul 2018 India
  • Performed Twitter Sentiment Analysis on FIFA World Cup tweets using Hive, Flume and Python
  • Built a java library that is integrated in ETL pipelines across the team and is capable of migrating more than 1000 schemas from Oracle DB into a data warehouse (Hive) by bridging the gap between their schemas’ data types

Projects

Confirmation of head collisions in sports videos
Detection of occurrence of head collisions in sports videos using YOLO and 3DCNN algorithms. This would save 90% of the time spent manually in the analysis and detection of collisions in the entire game
Confirmation of head collisions in sports videos
Cloud computing-Rainfall prediction
Prediction of daily rainfall in Australia using cloud computing techniques
Mindthegap dashboard
An interactive dashboard for analyzing the Gapminder dataset.
Forecast gold prices
This project aims at forecasting gold prices using Time Series analysis.
Simplefit
A Python package that makes data scientists’ job easier and saves time. It cleans the data, performs EDA and compares performance of the baseline model with basic Classification or Regression models
Simplerfit
An R package that makes data scientists’ job easier and saves time. It cleans the data, performs EDA and compares performance of the baseline model with basic Classification or Regression models
Census Income Prediction
A data science project that predicts the census income based on the demographic features using RandomForestClassifier.
ERP Mining and Analysis
An undergraduate project on ERP Data Mining and Analysis on university students’ data
Hadoop Twitter Sentiment Analysis
This mini project was created as part of internship program for Twitter Sentiment analysis for the FIFA World Cup, 2018 related tweets.

Achieve­ments

Women in Data Science Hackathon
  • Ranked 1st in Vancouver and top 2% out of 829 (16/829) teams worldwide.
  • Used ensemble modelling along with PCA and clustering techniques to predict the building energy consumption
Bot Detection model
  • Ranked 6th among 40 teams in Dell.
  • Used Naïve Bayes algorithm to classify the mouse movements as Bot or Human on Dell’s home page, based on mouse mapping technique
Prediction of MSP for Farmers
