AI/ML Engineering @ Workday · HCM Product | Interested in reliable LLM systems in production
I like solving hard problems that actually ship. Currently at Workday, building ML and LLM-powered features into the HCM product suite used by thousands of enterprises. Before that, [24]7.ai, working on conversational AI and NLP. I've co-founded startups, won a few hackathons (most recently the Google Cloud Next AI Arena), taught deep learning at San Jose State, and shipped systems that real people use. Patents in NLP. Mostly interested in where LLM systems break in production - retrieval, agent reliability, evaluation - and what it takes to make AI genuinely useful inside real products.

Smart email management system
May 1, 2017 – June 1, 2017
★ Developed a classification algorithm using Machine Learning, that can classify my emails into various categories like (email from a professor, a friend, a doctor, spam email, promotional email, etc.). ★ Used Natural Language Processing to extract information and features from the text. Concepts like NER (Named Entity Classification), Chunking, etc. were used. ★ Implemented the front end in Alexa where the user can ask if he has a new email and gets a reply back with the details if there is a new email. ★ Built a REST API in Node.js, Express Framework that accesses my emails using Gmail API (used OAuth 2.0 to access the API). ★ Building (now) a smart response system that replies to emails automatically by understanding the context using advanced Natural Language Processing and Deep Learning concepts. ★ Tech: Python 3.5, Flask, Sklearn, numpy, joblib, JSGF, NLTK (Natural Language Toolkit), Deep Learning, etc. A part of the demo: https://youtu.be/jLMUN6znkm4
Chatbot that helps students know information about a lecture
April 1, 2017 – May 1, 2017
★ Developed a classification algorithm using Machine Learning, that can classify student questions into different classes. Students can ask anything about the class like class timing, about the lecturer, syllabus, exams, etc. ★ Used JSGFs to generate the dataset by writing semantic rules, Natural Language Processing to extract features from the text, word2vec to convert the text to vectors, etc. ★ Tech: Python 3.5, Flask, Sklearn, numpy, joblib, JSGF, NLTK (Natural Language Toolkit). Demo: https://youtu.be/OV3YaMNqI_k
Virtualization of mobile sensors in the cloud - tracking animal movements
October 1, 2016 – December 1, 2016
★ Implemented virtualization of mobile sensors and built a multi-tenant, scalable and fault-tolerant cloud application in Node.js. Developed dashboards for users to visualize the sensor data. ★ Developed the app as a subscription-based model where the user can subscribe and unsubscribe to the sensors and get charged for the usage accordingly (pay as you use model). ★ Deployed the application on various cloud platforms and infrastructures to understand the difference. ★ Tech: Node.js, Express Framework, Angular.js, JQuery, Ajax, JavaScript, HTML5, CSS, GoogleMaps API, WebSockets, MySQL, Heroku, AWS, etc. # Demo: https://youtu.be/UZfjmu2Qmco
Library Management using Spring Framework
September 1, 2016 – October 1, 2016
★ Built a Library Management application with a user and a Librarian module. A user can borrow, extend, return and be added to waiting list for a book. A Librarian can add, edit and delete books. A user will be fined per day if the book is not returned on time. ★ Built using concepts of Spring like Dependency Injection, AOP, MVC, ORM, and transactions. ★ Implemented Transaction Management with JDBC and Persistence with JPA ★ Hosted in AWS EC2 Tech: Java, HTML5, CSS, Spring, etc. Demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFDAXmuUYt8&feature=youtu.be
