• Hello World

    Work

    Currently, I am working as a Machine Learning Product Manager at Cisco Innovation Labs. I also serve as an Entrepreneur-in-Residence at a VC Fund called Vonzos Partners.

    My background is in Machine Learning and Entrepreneurship, among other things.

     

    I am a hackathon junkie and love to build new things from scratch. You can check out my hackathon projects here.

     

    Always looking to collaborate with awesome folks to explore a domain, identify problems and build quantifiable solutions. Please reach out!

    Understanding Climate Change: A Data Driven Approach

    UNDERGRADUATE THESIS

    Supervisor: Prof. Alok Choudhary, Northwestern University, IL USA

    • Extending the work of Ghosh et al to global and multi-climate model data.
    • Developing a parallel C (MPI) code that emulates the original MATLAB script.
    • Next goal will be downloading the massive climate precipitation NetCDF data from the servers.

    Intelligent Diabetes Management

    Supervisor: Prof. Russ Greiner, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada

     

    This research internship was fully supported by MITACS Globalink Fellowship Grant.

    • Developing a cross platform app Edmonton Automated Sugar Intelligence (EASI) which recommends insulin dose based on the patient's input and settings set up by his/her diabetologist.

    • Developed a tool which automatically adjusts the amount of insulin to be injected.
    • Modified T1DMS Simulator to use it with 20 in-silico patients.

    • Demonstrated that a supervised learning approach is better than certain reinforcement

      learning techniques like SARSA, Actor-Critic Model.

    MIT SANA Mobile: Protocol Builder

    Supervisors: Dr. Thomas Brennan, Massachusetts Institute of Technology; Prof. Senthil Jayavel, VIT University

     

    Sana is a standard-focused open-source end-to-end telemedicine system that facilitates the capture of medical data and physiological signals through a fully programmable work ow interface.

    • Built a database that contains rapid search and a training set for (future) automated A.I. classification of images, audio and video.
    • Constructed a web based protocol for Clinicians.
    • Worked on integrating SANA with OpenMRS (a Medical Record System) for portability.

    Machine Learning Approach for Detection and Supervision of Parkinson's Disease

    Supervisor: Prof. B.K. Tripathy

    • Developing an intelligent mobile application that collects patient input through tests (Gait,Handwriting, Speech, Tremors) and provides interactive feedback to patients and monitoring summaries for physicians.

    • Discovery of hidden relationships through unsupervised learning (clustering), leading to the identification of dierent Parkinson's disease variations.

    • Automated ranking of different inputs (attributes) by measuring their information content.

    • Used University of California, Irvine’s PD Telemonitoring dataset.
