Work History
Software Engineer II - AI/ML
UiPath Robotic Process Automation Pvt Ltd
Bengaluru, Karnataka

- Implemented a data augmentation solution where the user could select the possibility of augmenting text data by either using wordnet from nltk or word2vec or glove embeddings to extract the synonyms, similar words. This helped in getting words which were synonyms and/or syntactically correct words while augmenting data.
- Experience with building and deploying text classification models from ground up which are being used in real time in combination with UiPath Studio to help customers automate their pipelines.
- Worked on a generic model which could split large-multi-hundred-page documents into logical sub document chunks with document metadata using Deep Learning to cater to the customer requirements.
- Built a Named Entity Recognition pipeline which was tightly coupled with UiPath product to tag entities, train a model to recognize the tagged entities and a prediction flow to test on real time documents. The goal was to empower sales & customers to get an initial model trained & tested with minimal involvement required from ML engineers.
- Developed an image similarity approach, where the problem was to identify the best extractor. Google Cloud Vision Alpha API, Microsoft Form Processing API, Amazon Textract were the options which could extract the maximum data out of a given document by using a set of images and annotated data as benchmark. Used a pre-trained model and did a transfer learning for this use case.
- Worked on NER problem for a banking client, where the goal was to identify the person names, organizational names, addresses, number of and percentage of shares held in companies from SEC filings.
- Implemented a solution to extract key-value pairs from pdf documents based on certain rules for a banking client.

- Using R to perform predictive analysis on how likely the company is to buy a product by looking at the external signals emitted by the company.
- Implemented a on optimizing the inventory for a well-known ecommerce company by performing kmodes clustering in order to find the combination of goods that are sold the most and how to bunch up new incoming products.
- Performed warehouse optimization by looking at region wise sales and suggesting where the next warehouses should come up by looking at the region wise sales, projected demand, seasonality.
- Implemented python scripts to extract company description, jobs, press releases, founded year, employee count and other company related information from company website.
