Software Engineer at Nimble Robotics | Applied ML | Data Platforms | NYU Courant CDS |
I am currently working as a Software Engineer in the Data/Infrastructure Team at Nimble Robotics.
I have a Masters in Computer Science at Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, New York University (NYU) and open to opportunities related to Machine Learning Engineer / Perception Engineer / Data Scientist /...
MerQube is an innovative fintech firm, leading the development of cutting edge technology for indexing and rules-based investing. MerQube designs and calculates a wide variety of indices, ranging from thematic to ESG, factor and retirement, while covering multi-asset, equities, futures as well as options. Few highlights of my role here are:
•
Engineered the migration of equity reference and end-of-day pricing pipelines to a new provider platform, ensuring uninterrupted data delivery for index calculations with zero downtime.
•
Led the development of a scalable options data platform, defining the data model, building ingestion and monitoring systems, and partnering with product, data providers, and financial engineers to resolve complex data integrity challenges. Delivered a unified data access layer that powers multi-asset index development and self-service analytics across teams.
•
Transformed operations workflow by developing automated validation checks for end-of-day prices and corporate action data across multiple providers. Enhanced data accuracy and consistency with customizable override capabilities.
Zipline designs, manufactures and operates the world’s largest autonomous drone delivery network, enabling on-demand logistics of essentials, from medical supplies to consumer goods, at unprecedented speed and scale. Few highlights of my role here were:
•
Building perception software as part of the acoustic detect and avoid team to answer a specific question, How to tune the current encounter detection models to be resilient to changes in sensor environment, in order to decrease the false positive rate.
•
Analysed flight data at production nests, to find spatial and temporal correlation for locating probable sources of false positives.
•
Fine tuned intruder detection models using hard negative samples to reduce false positives by 70% on production nests while having minimal impact on sensitivity.
Karza Technologies (Now Acquired by Perfios) was a data, analytics, automation, and decisioning solution provider to FIs, catering to the entire lending lifecycle from onboarding to diligence & monitoring to collections. Karza Technologies solutions enable systemic fraud prevention, risk management, compliance & automation through superior data engineering and deep tech applications.
Few highlights of my role at Karza were:
•
Developed an end to end OCR Pipeline for the KYC Documents by implementing a robust synthetic data generation pipeline, model validation, hypothesis testing and training modules for text recognition, card detection and text detection tasks.
•
Light weight reformulation of fixed length text recognition model using the CTC framework and TensorRT for weight quantization to decrease model size by 85\% while maintaining almost the same accuracy level, so that it could be deployed as AWS Lambda service.
•
Progressively optimized the OCR task specific models bridging the latency vs task specific evaluation metric tradeoff (like word and character accuracy for text recognition).
