About Me


I am a Senior Machine Learning Scientist with 8 years of industry experience in building AI/ML solutions across various domains. My journey into ML was unconventional—I started as a Software Development Engineer (SDE) and transitioned into an ML Scientist role early in my career. Coming from a tier-3 college with a background in Electronics Engineering, I understand the challenges of breaking into AI/ML without a traditional pedigree or elite university credentials.


Through my experience, I have navigated the hurdles of self-learning, skill-building, career switching, and landing roles at top AI/ML firms. Now, I help professionals and students strategically plan their career in AI/ML by leveraging the right skills, networking, and career development techniques.
