Sonal Patil

Ambitious and eager to learn, experienced Data Scientist/Machine learning engineer with demonstrated history of working in the research industry. Through my research and development experience, I have always enjoyed working on challenging problems that need hard work and dedication. I have a master's degree from Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Kharagpur with a thesis focused on ‘Spatial Information retrieval and mining’. After my masters, I started my career working in a data analytics lab at Xerox Research Center India (XRCI) which developed my research interest in multimodal data analytics. Since then, I have worked on speech recognition while working at XRCI and NLP using deep learning for a short duration at a fin-tech company. Recently, I have been working on 3D mesh data and images (computer vision). I have experience in a med-tech company where releasing machine learning and deep learning algorithms have to go through a medical validation process for regulatory purposes. I have worked in diverse cultural teams, with people from different demographics. I tend to think of myself as an easy-going, friendly person. I am a quite optimistic person who doesn't like giving up on something if I know I can solve the problem. In my free time, I like to spend time with friends, go for walks, reading and exploring new places. I am always excited to learn something new. I am waiting for my next challenge.
