**Personalized Test Simulation Solution for Edtech**- Led and developed an AI-driven adaptive learning system that personalizes question complexity based on individual performance, enhancing assessment accuracy and learner engagement. - Implemented a scalable solution supporting over 8000 skills, trained on 400,000 questions and ~2M user attempts. Designed a Change Data Capture (CDC) pipeline triggered by data changes, utilizing Celery, FastAPI, and Redis for data preprocessing and training. - Post-training, used an embedding model for clustering similar questions and monitored tasks with MongoDB and Sentry. - Deployed using GitHub CI/CD pipelines, managing staging and production environments. Technologies used: FastAPI, Celery, Redis, MongoDB, Sentry, GitHub CI/CD, Transformers.**Semantic Similarity Solution for Market Intelligence & Business Information**- Led a team in developing advanced semantic search engine solutions for fetching relevant companies, integrating FAISS-based similarity search with hierarchical clustering and topic modeling. - Deployed two variations: text-to-ElasticSearch for enhanced semantic understanding and industry taxonomy ontology for precise vector similarity search. - Designed and built the solution using FAISS, ElasticSearch, and Gensim, with FastAPI for robust querying. - Achieved a search latency of ~200ms on 400,000 company entries, significantly improving search relevance and accuracy. Technologies used: Python, ElasticSearch, FAISS, Gensim, FastAPI, Docker, GitHub, GitHub Actions (CI/CD).**Saathi-Catalyzing Equitable Artificial Intelligence (AI) Use**- Led the design and technical development of Saathi Chatbot(https://finsaathi.mgmt.iisc.ac.in/) in collaboration with IISc and Oxford Brookes University.- Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, July 2023 – March 2024, Global Challenges Call

**Machine Learning-Based Event-Driven Data Mining Pipeline**- Led and architected a CDC implementation for processing thousands of business news articles daily, extracting critical information like company names, industry names, funding amounts, and leadership changes. - Optimized using Google's Flan-T5 in 8-bit configuration for efficient processing. Employed AWS Batch for scalability, FastAPI with Celery for asynchronous execution, and MongoDB and S3 for storage. - Automated deployment with GitHub CI/CD, AWS ECR, and Kubernetes. Developed a two-part pipeline: inference for data extraction, classification pipeline, and normalization for data standardization. - Achieved a cost of $0.0002 per article and throughput of 17,000 articles per hour. Technologies used: Python, Transformers, AWS S3, AWS Batch, AWS ECR, MongoDB, Docker, GitHub CI/CD, FastAPI.**Educational Chatbot for K12 Schools in Middle East and Europe**Led the team in developing an avatar-based educational chatbot designed to assist students with courseware questions through an interactive interface. - Built a React frontend chat interface with avatar integration. Integrated AI using GPT-3 models (Curie and Davinci) to tailor responses to students' grade levels. - Enhanced response accuracy by designing and implementing Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines and developing custom vector storages on file systems. - Utilized technologies including Python, OpenAI, Gensim, Haystack, FastAPI, SerpAPI, React JS, and AWS to deliver a robust and interactive educational tool. - The project aimed to provide personalized and accurate assistance to students, improving their learning experience through AI-driven responses and an engaging interface.
