About

I am a highly motivated and progress focused Software Engineer /Data Scientist with varied experience in India, China and UAE. I am a consistent problem solver skilled at prioritizing and managing work with proficiency. While working as a C# .Net developer, I have worked in SQL Server, Web page development, testing and debugging and giving production support. In Data Science I have worked on big datasets to study relationship between features, analyze, visualize them and build forecasting models. I have also experience in building Deep Artificial Neural Network, performing Unsupervised Learning and Cluster Profiling, Building predictive models for Image Classification (CNN) and Natural Language Processing (NLP). I have worked on a wide range of datasets which include Bank, Travel & Tourism, Airlines, Twitter Sentiment etc. I have renewed my software skills and gained high technical skills in AIML by successfully completing all 9 projects in my PG Program with a GPA above 4. This explains and shows my determination and hard work to achieve a goal. My total experience in software development and data science is 3 plus years. I enjoy working on datasets, analyzing, understanding the trends and patterns in it, cleaning it and building predictive models using it.
