Work Experience
Founder
PatternedAI
- Developed a customized Stable Diffusion model and served it using serverless GPUs.
- Fine-tuned a custom image generation model and optimized it for different use cases.
- Handled autoscaling computes necessary to serve a large volume of users and cut costs with a low number of users.
Senior Machine Learning Engineer
Eezylife Inc.
- Built and maintained recommendation engines for restaurants, events, movies, and music.
- Extracted key information that helps users relate to their recommendations.
- Developed an interactive interpretation tool for debugging and validation.
- Hired and managed a team of data scientists and mentored interns.
Data Scientist
MachineMedicine
- Used pose estimates from video recording to assess motor skills objectively for Parkinson's patients.
- Built the analytics pipeline using Python and ingested it in a Flask web application.
- Created plots to visualize and validate the several steps in the analytics pipeline and the activity detection algorithm.
Data Scientist
IntentHQ
- Researched new approaches to data enrichment techniques, including behavioral clustering, audience expansion, and modeling user preferences.
- Enhanced data quality control by creating a web interface for topic disambiguation, automating the repetitive analysis, and reports.
- Labeled unlabeled data using probabilistic methods.
- Devised the evaluation metrics for model performance.
Experience
Semantic Search
https://github.com/amrakm/semantic_searchA script to embed a list of documents and upload them to a vector database. These embeddings were matched against search queries and served in a Streamlit web app.
Bechdel Test on Movie Scripts
https://github.com/amrakm/BechdalTestThe script extracts names in the scene, guesses their gender, and runs a test similar to the Bechdel test on each scene—to check if at least two women are talking to each other without the presence of a man in the scene.
ML Framework
https://github.com/amrakm/ML_FrameworkWorks on tabular datasets, handles numerical and categorical data automatically, and extracts embedding from text fields using BERT model.
