Experience
SOFTWARE ENGINEER Tata Consultancy Services Hyderabad, India July 2016 – July 2019
• Responsible for interfacing with product management and other teams to design and implement end to end solutions (full stack) on buying
medical devices, coding features/tests, testing/reviewing changes, deploying new builds to production. Impact: Reduce server response time
with JavaScript startup optimization. Technologies: Flask, Python, JavaScript, CSS, HTML, Postman, Selenium, AWS
• Led a team in analyzing, identifying impacted objects and preparing data lineage due to table manipulations in upstream. Worked on building
a high availability and scalable platform to ingest, transform and enrich upstream transaction data from various sources and produce
downstream compatible data. Technologies: Python, Pandas, NumPy, SQL, AWS, Agile
• Designed and implemented large scale centralized data warehousing infrastructure and ETL pipelines for the Health care organization and
identified key performance indicators to prepare several data visualizations such as charts, dashboards to understand and analyze which
certain medical devices generate most profit or loss. Technologies: Hadoop, Informatica, Hive, Tableau, SQL, Unix, Agile

Full Stack Developer (INTERN) Iguru Solutions Kolkata, India May 2014 – July 2015
• Contributed to the design, coding, debugging and testing of new webpages which highlighted the new features and functionalities to attract
more customers to the company. Technologies: Python, Flask, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Selenium

Projects
GEOSPATIAL HOTSPOT ANALYSIS:
• Performed geospatial analysis on the NY city taxi dataset to identify the top statistically significant pickup zones. Benchmarked the
performance of Spark cluster on parameters such as the number of nodes, dataset size, executor memory and number of executors.
Technologies: Scala, Apache Spark, Hadoop, AWS
BOOSONG PIPIT BIRD DATA VISUALIZATION:
• Prepared several data visualizations such as zoom, drag, race bar, compare images to analyze why Pipit bird is getting endangered in Boossong
lake area. To efficiently prepare visualizations I used several state-of-the-art features such as d3 joins, glyphs animations and transitions.
Technologies: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, D3.js
MOVIE GENRE CLASSIFIER:
• Developed a Movie Genre Classifier with a multi-label classification which is able to predict the genre of the movie using movie summary
entered by the user. Took a very hands-on approach to understand Multinomial Naïve Bayes for multi-label classification in NLP and using movie
description as the sole feature. Technologies: Python, Pandas, NumPy, nltk, Naïve Bayes
SECURE BANKING SYSTEM (SBS):
• Developed a skeleton secure banking system (SBS) with limited functional, performance, and security requirements for secure banking
transactions and user account management. This project involved working in Flask, react, Postgres and implementing the security features such
as two factor authentication, OTP, PKI and CA. Technologies: Python, Flask, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, OTP, PKI, CA
IMAGE DATA RETRIEVAL/RECOGNITION FROM 11K:
• Implemented various image feature extraction models such as Color Moments, LBP, HOG, SIFT and dimension reduction techniques such as
SVD, PCA, LDA and NMF to perform several tasks like efficiently retrieving similar images and finding labels according to the user given image.
• Performed numerous tasks such as image labeling, clustering, classification and relevance feedback by implementing LSH, PPR, K-means,
SVM, Decision Tree and probabilistic relevance feedback system. All the ML algorithms were created without using the python libraries.
Technologies: Python, SVD, PCA, LDA, NMF, LSH, PPR, K-Means
VALIDATING FEATURES AND LABELING (MEAL VS NO MEAL) ON CGM DATA:
• Extracting relevant features from glucose level time series data and checking which features are selected after dimensionality reduction in
PCA. Constructed a model to predict labels (Meal vs No Meal) through classification and clustering on reduced dimension space.
AI PACMAN:
• Implemented general graph search and game tree algorithms using Python to solve the corresponding problems modeled in Pacman. Utilized
reinforcement learning to train Pacman on large complex grids in the presence of adversaries. Here I have also cultivated value/policy
iteration algorithms along with Qlearning and implemented gradient descent optimizers to train neural networks through TensorFlow.
Technologies: Reinforcement Learning, Gradient Descent, Artificial Neural Network, Qlearning, TensorFlow
