Work Experience
Head of Product and Engineering
Monsoon CreditTech
- Led the development of the SaaS AutoML platform as an architect and product manager; made wireframes, wrote user and functional requirements, decided on back-end architecture, and ran sprints using Django, Angular, Jenkins, and Docker.
- Architected AutoML libraries used internally. The platform generated machine learning models optimized for lending.
- Acted as a product manager and architect for developer tools used by our internal data science team to speed up model development and deployment.
- Managed client engagements with 15 banks and NBFCs; built and deployed models to identify risky borrowers at the time of application. Increased revenue for the client by 20% and more.
- Hired and managed a team of 10+ data scientists and software developers. Conducted one on ones, set targets for the team, and mentored junior members.
- Built an auto-deployment process for machine learning models that supported multiple and multistage models.
AI/ML Expert / Consultant
Harbor
- Did prompt engineering to improve LLM model predictions.
- Compared open-source LLMs against closed models.
- Self-hosted open-source LLMs on the company's infrastructure.
- Built a prompt testing framework in Python to compare and improve prompts.
AI/ML Engineer
Grown Unknown, LLC
- Developed prompts to generate customized parental advice using OpenAI APIs.
- Added context to the prompts to tailor the tone of the outputs.
- Compared OpenAI with other options and created a plan for future product development.
