WORK EXPERIENCE
Tech Lead, Machine Learning, Glance InMobi, Bangalore July 2023 - Present
● Developed a new algorithm to generate short clips/trailers of long videos and deployed them at scale
using audio and video-based transcriptions. This resulted in an increase of 80% in time spent and a
Daily Run Rate of 5.6k USD/day
● Implemented personalized content recommendations for 200M+ users using a Real-Time Deep
Learning Recommendation System (DLRS), increasing engagement metrics by 47% (likes, downloads)
● Mentor a team of 10+ developers and lead university collaborations with Stanford and CMU on causal
inference research for recommendation systems
Senior Machine Learning Engineer, Glance InMobi, Bangalore July 2021 - July 2023
● Increased product image quality by 40% in the Natural Image Quality Evaluator (NIQE), reducing the
size by 5x. This led to a decrease in load time from 3-4 seconds to 0.5 seconds
● Implemented Multi Arm Bandit (Thomson sampling) for content recommendation for new users,
which led to a 40% increase in engagement
● Deployed custom-trained ML model for sending notifications to users for live streams based on their
affinity towards a particular live streamer, leading to a 30% increase in the conversion rate
Data Software Engineer, Société Générale, Bangalore June 2019 - July 2021
● Applied Image Processing to re-identify document signatures using angular features considering the
signature style, pixel connections and curves. Deployed at scale, saving ~200k euros per annum
● Designed APIs on Azure to fetch data from data lake to historize the financial deals and run ML models
Research Intern, VDEC Lab, University of Tokyo, Japan May - July 2017
● Implemented a custom CNN computation engine that took seven tiled input arrays from CPU branching
to 2 kernels, fetched seven input weights from FPGA DRAM, and calculated the weighted sum
● The engine was implemented on Xilinx Vertex -7 FPGA chip using MaxCompiler and Verilog
RESEARCH PROJECTS
Identification of Core and Penumbra in Acute Ischemic Stroke Oct 2020 - Sept 2021
