Bio

As a senior ML leader, I have made many outsized impact on top-line metrics by setting technical directions and strategies, laying out long-term ML vision, influencing decisions and roadmaps, identifying big opportunities, creating world class ML teams, driving cross-functional alignment and planning, assembling cross-functional teams, and executing very complex projects from ideation to productionization. I have profound experience of applying ML on data of all structures (text, image, graph) for a variety of functions (classification, ranking, retrieval, screening, filtering, etc.) in wide ranging domains (Trust and Safety, Growth, SEO, Maps, and Enterprise Applications).

I obtained a PhD degree in Computer Science from University of California, Santa Barbara. I received B.Tech. in Computer Science from IIT (BHU) in the first class with honors.

Technical Experties: Deep Learning (LLMs, Transformers, GCN, DNN, CNN, RNN), Machine Learning, Data Mining, Spatial indexing and querying, Dimensionality Reduction, Querying and Mining Graph Data, Information Retrieval, Search and Relevance, Predictive Analytics, Recommendation Systems, and Data Modeling.
