I’m Ankit, an IIT Kanpur CS graduate and Senior Staff Data Scientist with a passion for building real-world AI systems that create measurable business impact. Over the past 6+ years, I’ve worked across startups and enterprises, building LLM-powered applications, predictive ML systems, and automation platforms that have scaled to millions in value. I’ve also co-filed patents, led AI teams, and helped take an AI startup from 0 to $1M+ ARR. Beyond the technical work, what drives me is helping people break into AI/ML the smart way focusing on clarity, practical skills, and career strategy. I’ve mentored engineers, students, and early professionals on how to: • Build strong portfolios that stand out • Crack tough interviews at top companies • Learn AI/ML the way it’s actually used in industry • Transition from college or other domains into applied AI roles I love simplifying complex topics and turning vague goals into concrete action plans. If you’re serious about growing in AI/ML or aiming for your next big role
