Optimizing clinical operations and care with a unified platform powered by finely tuned LLMs.

San Francisco, California, US

I am a tech lead primarily specializing in solving perception problems using deep learning based techniques. I have worked on image segmentation, 2D/3D object detection and depth estimation using camera, lidar and radar sensors along with approaches to fuse the sensor data. I have played major role in bootstrapping ML infra, ML frameworks and using.

Redmond, Washington, US

• Architected and built a software platform that enables one to design, deploy, manage and monitor ML pipelines intended to keep user accounts safe from abuse and compromise. This powers some of the largest ML pipelines.
• Re-architected and migrated an existing distributed web service to Azure resulting in 80% reduction in compute/storage usage. Simplified 17 different services into one simple service while improving code quality and.
• Built a prototype version of ML system that is currently used in serving Microsoft Captcha
• Prototyped a behavioral telemetry service that collects metadata from millions of users in order to detect and prevent abuse.

Oakland, CA, US

• Researched and developed a tool to auto-detect a credit card like object in a sequence of images which is used to estimate scale of objects in the image.
• Implemented an image enhancement tool to automatically improve the visual appeal of images by reducing noise and improving contrast and white balance.
• Implemented a robust skin detector using naive Bayes classifier on LUV color space.
• Prototyped a background segmentation engine capable of identifying user in the foreground and masking the background using active contours.
• Implemented a Flash based application for guiding users through a step-by-step process to create a virtual avatar using Viola-Jones face detector and motion tracking algorithms.
• Developed a viral Facebook application that detects facial features on user’s profile picture, using Adaboost classifier trained on LBP feature descriptors, and applies a mask.

Seattle, WA, US

• Designed and implemented a web service for accessing enterprise document repositories with support for third-party authentication modules.
• Implemented a Kindle application for providing access to document repositories for enterprise customers.
• Prototyped a software component that incorporates Facebook friend recommendations into Amazon product view.

• Developed a software component in Jugular Graphics Engine to partition complex 3D tessellated geometry into simpler primitives using Principal Component Analysis.
