I'm a senior data scientist currently working on time-series analysis for optimization problems and building end-to-end pipelines for object detection problems (real-time video and image) in the manufacturing domain. As part of this role, I've visited plant sites to get a better understanding of the domain. I am a content strategist for ConvertML, where I oversee content ideation to publishing for long-form technical blog content and website copy. I write in-depth technical content for Rawcubes and work as a technology subject expert for Indeed.com. I also work as a freelance writer for CopyPress. Having worked for multiple companies, I have a trove of experience in programming, model building and deployment, technical writing, and content creation and management. If you're looking for someone with development experience and writing expertise, let's talk! (Note: Not open to full-time opportunities)In the past, I worked as a data engineer for Applied Materials where I worked on developing an end-to-end solution to classify defects on semiconductor wafers. I also played an integral part in the company's digitization process, where I developed image-processing and document-parsing algorithms to extract critical data from PDFs, Word documents, images, and CAD diagrams. I published a research paper titled “Redistributed Layer Defect Classification Using Computer Vision Techniques and Machine Learning” in the IEEE journal as part of the EPTC-20 conference. I also received the Applied Materials President's Quality Award 2020 for Best Project among 56 contenders worldwide.I've written a poetry book titled “Colors of Silence” published by Partridge Publishing, available worldwide on all major e-commerce stores. I am currently writing my novel "The Quagmire". Someday, I wish to be able to write like David Foster Wallace and Alexander Theroux. I maintain a blog "www.deathbymetaphor.com" which is a conglomeration of prose, essays, and book reviews. My works touch upon the themes of time, memory, and loss. I'm currently reading Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy. Art, for me, is not a hobby; I want to create something beautiful, albeit with tears, sweat, and blood, that speaks to generations that are yet to come. And perhaps, I can with my works, like Stephen King's works did for me when I was a kid, introduce people to the joy of reading and writing.
