Experience

Data Scientist

2025

NC Museum of Natural Sciences

Oct 2024 - July 2025

Developing AI-driven solutions to improve wildlife monitoring across the United States. By integrating AI into our workflow, we're reducing the need for manual processing and improving classification across large datasets. One of the key aspects of our work involves depth estimation models for calibrated data, processing over 100,000+ camera trap images from diverse ecosystems. Our system improves detection accuracy by 20-30% compared to traditional methods, allowing researchers to extract precise positional data from images captured across 50+ monitoring sites nationwide. Automating these processes has resulted in a 40% reduction in manual labor, ensuring more consistent and reliable wildlife monitoring while accelerating data-driven conservation efforts.

Machine Learning Engineer

2024

Dept. of MAE, NC State University

Feb 2024 - August 2024

Developed machine learning models to predict thermal conductivity profiles with improved accuracy. Using MATLAB's API Engine with Python, I generated over 30,000 data points, reducing manual processing time by 50% and enhancing model efficiency. To optimize predictions, I implemented Regression algorithms and ensemble learning, improving accuracy by 25% and reducing computational time by 30%. These advancements made thermal modeling more scalable and precise, enabling faster and more reliable simulations. Beyond model development, I refined data processing workflows, accelerating simulation speed by 40% and ensuring a more automated and efficient approach to material behavior analysis.

Education

I'm pursuing a Master of Computer Science at North Carolina State University, where I've been diving deep into Data Analytics, Data Science, Machine Learning, and Software Engineering. My undergraduate studies at Pandit Deendayal Energy University in Information and Communication Technology Engineering laid a strong foundation in Data Structures, Database Management Systems, and Internet of Things.

Beyond Code

I'm 23, and while coding keeps me busy, I try to keep life balanced with passions that go beyond the screen.

At my university's Student Union, I've worked as a part-time event manager, running 100+ events where I got to juggle logistics, AV tech, and the kind of problem-solving that doesn't come with a manual.

Outside of work, I enjoy photography and filmmaking (currently obsessed with Mike Flanagan's storytelling style). I also love cooking, experimenting with vegetarian recipes, and reading poetry when I need to slow down.
