Machine Learning Engineer · Kartmint (Series C e-commerce)
Aug 2022 – PresentHyderabad
- Own the product-recommendation system (PyTorch two-tower model) serving 9M users; lifted click-through 22% and add-to-cart 11% over the prior heuristics.
- Built a real-time inference service on AWS SageMaker + Triton holding p99 latency under 80ms at 4,000 requests/second during peak sale traffic.
- Designed the Airflow + Spark feature pipeline feeding a Feast feature store, cutting feature-freshness lag from 24 hours to 15 minutes.
- Shipped an LLM-powered support-triage classifier (fine-tuned transformer) that auto-routes 68% of tickets, saving the CX team ~₹40L/year in handling cost.
- Standardized MLOps with MLflow and Kubeflow pipelines, cutting model-to-production time from 3 weeks to 4 days and mentoring 2 junior engineers on it.
Data Scientist · PaySprout
Jul 2020 – Jul 2022Bengaluru
- Built a fraud-detection model (XGBoost + scikit-learn) on 12M transactions that cut fraud losses 31% while holding false positives under 0.4%.
- Deployed batch and streaming scoring on GCP Vertex AI with automated drift monitoring, catching 3 silent data-quality regressions before they hit revenue.
- Reduced training cost ~₹5.5L/year by moving feature computation to BigQuery and right-sizing GPU jobs.
Featured projects
A pytest-style evaluation framework for LLM and RAG pipelines.
- Authored a configurable harness scoring relevance, faithfulness and latency; adopted internally to gate 5 LLM features before release.
