Head of Machine Learning & Engineering @ NotCo
I am an Applied Machine Learning leader with a core strength in spearheading multidisciplinary technical groups to develop novel algorithms and systems for the real-world. I have been fortunate in my career to have helped build and deploy several Autonomous & Machine Learning Systems across a multitude of domains: Aerospace, Online Advertising, FinTech, and Biotechnology.

I currently lead a global group of scientists and engineers to develop a Machine Learning System to formulate new plant-based foods. Our goal is to reduce consumer meat consumption and ultimately help lower agricultural greenhouse gas emissions.

Manning Publications - Human Pose Estimation with Deep Neural Networks
-
Co-authorized an intermediate-level online course through Manning Publication for key point estimation via Deep Convolutional Networks. Students learn the basics of Convolutional Networks, as well as how to use transfer learning from larger models to fine-tune onto their dataset. We also demonstrate how to develop a real-time inference algorithm that can overlay human pose estimation from the students' web camera.

        I was in the same team with Aadit at Yahoo, where we worked on a Yahoo Search user experience machine learning model together. Aadit was the lead for that project. He cooperated with the scientists' team and designed the whole workflow for the model. He is a great mentor who gave a lot of help to onboard new engineers and guide the project. Aadit himself is also a great engineer who implemented and optimized the data processing pipeline. Aadit is a well-rounded engineer and has strong skills in engineering, data science, and leadership. Our user experience model successfully improved multiple important metrics by 5%+ and was deployed to the whole Yahoo Search product. It's my pleasure to work with a talented engineer like Aadit.

        I worked with Aadit on an important revenue-related project at Yahoo. He is an active learner and is dedicated to his work. Though this project used new technology, Aadit was able ramp up and learn new languages and systems quickly. He also automated some of the most important steps in this project which helped save the team a tremendous amount of time. His knowledge in machine learning is also amazing. His models have improved Yahoo’s user experience across all categories. He is the kind of superstar I want to work with at Yahoo!
