Hi, I’m Yash 👋 I’m a senior Machine Learning Engineer and Data Scientist with 7+ years of experience building and deploying ML systems that drive real business outcomes — not just models that look good in notebooks. I’ve worked across finance, trading, telecom, growth analytics, and product analytics, leading end-to-end projects from problem framing and data engineering to modeling, deployment, and stakeholder decision-making. People usually come to me when: Their ML or data project feels stuck or unclear Models exist, but business impact isn’t showing They need a second opinion on architecture, metrics, or approach They want help scoping freelance or consulting work properly before committing 🧠 What I Can Help You With 🔹 1:1 Problem-Solving & Strategy Calls ML project scoping & feasibility (is this worth building?) Model selection & evaluation (what actually works here?) Debugging underperforming ML models Data quality, leakage, and feature engineering reviews Career guidance for ML / Data roles (senior+ level) 🔹 Freelance & Consulting Work Predictive modeling (LTV, churn, conversion, risk, forecasting) Growth & marketing analytics (funnels, cohorts, attribution) ML system design (end-to-end pipelines, MLOps, cloud) Python / SQL performance optimization ML reviews & technical due diligence 🔹 Specialized Experience High-dimensional & noisy data Probabilistic & risk models Optimization under constraints Cloud ML on AWS & GCP NLP, LLMs, and applied GenAI (when it makes sense) 🏆 Why Work With Me? ✅ Production-first mindset — I focus on what actually ships and works ✅ Strong business + technical bridge (I speak both languages) ✅ Experience leading teams and mentoring engineers ✅ Clear, honest feedback — no fluff, no overengineering ✅ Confidential, judgment-free discussions If I don’t think ML is the right solution, I’ll tell you. 👥 Who This Is For Founders & startup teams Product managers & growth teams Engineers transitioning into ML / Data Science Companies needing short-term ML expertise Professionals stuck on a complex technical decision ❌ Probably not a fit if you’re looking for: Cheap gig work Academic-only ML theory “Just write some code” without context
