Leading a team of experienced data scientists in developing advance deep learning models to solve complex business problems and improve customer-experience.
Automatic Speech Recognition - Performed comparison of available SOTA Speech Recognition models. Selected the best multi-lingual ASR OpenAi Whisper model. Performed a thorough understanding of Whisper model. Explored the feasibility and limitation of Initial Prompt, Post Processing of output using GPT models, Model Fine-tuning. Highlighted the issue in evaluation of the the model using WER on Japanese data. Set Data preparation guideline for fine-tuning.
Medical Document Chatbot & Summarizer - Prepared an RAG based document summarizer capable of Summarizing medical reports. The pipeline takes ASR model text output as context for output generation
Pig Body Condition Score Estimation - Performed data analysis, feature analysis on RGB and Depth data to get features to estimate body condition score of pig. In depth analysis of features and automating the approach for data generation.
YURU Hackathon - emerged as one of the winners of Sony YURU musical Hackathon 2023. Received the Entertainment Award. The idea was to generate music using facial expressions. Our Team got opportunity to demonstrate our musical instrument in Japan. Music graph representation got special appreciation from judges.
Auto Selection Engine - Reduces the work load of content creator. The module is capable of detecting blurred/de-blur, noisy, exposure issue and drastic shakes in a video. The major usecase of this application is to highlight non usable content and usable content.
Graphic Detection - Score Board Detection, Text Recognition Module, Numeric Text Recognition Module, Graphic region detection in a sports broadcasting videos
Video Grouping - Used Transformer models to perform video grouping. The approach is to use models to summarize the content of videos. Use the video summary to compare for similarity and group the videos

PAI Device Gesture Recognition (In Air Gestures & Touch Gestures) - Architected, developed, and owned the core machine learning feature for hand gesture recognition to control an android device in a Kitchen.
Developed a mobilenetV2 classification model capable of handling sequential data. Achieved real time processing speed by implementing batch process using snapdragon neural process engine - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mg09pRI0YIo
Filed a patient for Gesture Recognition Approach.
3D Pose Estimation - Conceptualized, architected, and implemented a keypoint detection-based 3D pose estimation for cars. The estimated pose is used to automatically lock a visual aid CAD model to the target vehicle for further use as part of AR/VR application.
Collaborated with cross-functional teams by giving technical inputs to generate synthetic data from Unity3D with annotation for key-points. Training a deep-learning network to predict key points based on Convolutional Pose Machine (CPM). 3D.
Conceptualized, architected, and implemented a deep learning-based algorithm for face mask and social distance violation detection using camera sensors, significantly improving pandemic safety measures for factories and automotive plant units.
People Analytics - Performed People Counting, analysis of the path taken, heatmaps for crowded area for a mall. Worked on actual CCTV footages. Helped them in figuring out flaw in their parking systems.
Visual Quality Inspection - Developed and deployed a Visual Quality Inspection module for a pharma company. Developed a deep learning and classical image processing based hybrid technique to identify defective plastic moulds.
The solution deployed on-site has increased the inspection throughput 6 times with 15% increase in defect detection. The defects classes can be broadly classified into color based defect, presence of hair and impurities, printing defects and filter breakage.
Yarn thickness Monitoring - Developed a POC to monitor the thickness of a Yarn using Soliton cameras. Travelled to actual factory location to check for feasibility of Deployment
System Engineer - Research & Development
Tata Consultancy Services
Bengaluru
09.2013 - 01.2017
Worked on development, enhancement, optimization and porting of ADAS (Vehicle Detect, Pedestrian Detection and Lane Detection) algorithms.
Development - Developed a detection window approach to manage varying object sizes for detection at one shot without rescaling the image.
Enhancement - Modified the existing tracking implementation to optimize the performance.
Optimization - With complete codebase knowledge was able to restructure the existing data storage pattern to achieve 3 to 4x performance improvement and filed a patient for same. With data storage restructuring the images could be split into 4 halves and could be processed in 4 different cores of our intel machines.
Porting - With data restructuring 3 to 4x improvement was achieved on TDA2x board from Texas Instruments. Optimization resulted in real time performance of all 3 algorithms on the hardware for an image size of 300x240.
