Combinatorial Optimisation in Space-Air-Ground Integrated Networks (SAGINs).
Learning to navigate an academic researcher's life.
Leveraged end-to-end ML solutions for:
A. Revenue Prime™ (revenue management for CPG industries)
Optimized promotions cost for improved Promotion RoI by 15%. Price optimization to tackle inflationary pressures. Increase in revenue by 2-5% through insights on key growth levers.
B. Envirozone™ (sustainability as a service)
Built carbon footprint forecasting models for Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions across the value chain to meet the greenhouse gas (GHG) emission protocol requirements and Science-based Targets initiative (SBTi) and Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP).
GPT 3.5 came in November 2022, and it changed the course of my journey. Over the next 1.5 years I realised that I was just doing the surface works like writing ML pipelines, or integrating GenAI features to some platform, etc primarily by relying on LLMs code generation capabilities, instead of self-thinking. So I decided to pursue a theoretical research career in ML in order to learn the fundamentals of the field.

CGPA: 8.4/10
Gained quality education in the field of Electrical Engineering and statistical foundations which later on became framework for my career as ML researcher. Electives included Advanced Instrumentation (Measurements), Analysis of Measurement Data, and Artificial Intelligence which developed my keen interest in the field of Machine Learning.
Developed a systems-thinking approach. The transition from physical electrical circuits to computational neural networks was my most significant takeaway.
It was during this journey that I realized the importance of having a good guide to learn from and the option of choosing a great one was waiting for me in the future.
