> Staff Software Engineer @ DataCebo | Synthetic Data Generation

Location: New York, New York, United States
Profile: https://flows.cv/gaurav

I am software architect at DataCebo, working on synthetic data generation. 

Previously, I was the first engineering hire at Feature Labs. I built enterprise and open source products to help companies create machine learning pipelines using automated feature engineering. Alteryx acquired us in 2019. 

At Alteryx, I built multiple open source libraries, which were vital to the commercial launch of Alteryx Machine Learning. Additionally, I developed CoPilot, a generative AI chatbot for Alteryx's flagship product. It enhances workflow creation with intelligent recommendations, leveraging large language models. 

I'm a big believer in open source software. I am a core contributor to a popular Python AutoML library, Featuretools. Additionally, I oversaw the creation & development of Woodwork, a library for data typing (> 6M downloads).
