Machine Learning Engineer
2022 - PRESENTLayer 6 (TD Bank)- Created data pipelines, productionization, and scaling ML models for TD, one of the largest banks in North America and the largest bank in Canada. Layer 6 is a leading research and applied AI branch of TD.
- Built development and production data pipelines on large customer datasets for various financial use cases using Spark, Databricks notebooks, and Azure.
- Involved in hands-on model development that includes feature engineering, model training, and inference.
Technologies: Java, Scala, Spark, Databricks, AzureTechnical Co-founder
2020 - 2021Anooka Health- Developed a MERN-based web application from scratch. Conducted user interviews, designed a prototype, developed an initial MVP and final product, and managed two full-stack engineers and the development of the product.
- Performed in-depth research of 3D pose estimation and its applications in fitness, such as form feedback and rep counting, and designed the system that operates on the edge and in the cloud.
- Developed three MERN web apps—beta version for initial testing with users in five weeks, the final version as direct reports with two SWs and designer in three months, and a video-based partner exercising app in six weeks.

2019 - 2020Passenger AI- Built an online service to detect objects during cabin surveillance on AWS that was 30% more accurate yet as effective as the previous model for Passenger AI, a VC-backed startup revolutionizing safety monitoring for self-driving vehicles.
- Obtained incredible results (F1 score > 0.95) on action recognition that could run in real time on low-power NVIDIA Jetson Nano.
- Profiled and optimized concurrent on-device client code to efficiently execute business logic and neural network inference.
- Learned and experimented with computer vision topics like multi-view geometry, tracking, person re-identification, optical flow, and gaze estimation to understand how this could influence product in the short and medium-term.
- Researched optics, camera sensors, and lenses to understand how cameras could drive products. Proactively drove the transition to a new, more robust camera system that performed better across difficult imaging conditions, such as low light.

The most amazing...
...thing I've contributed to is a video-to-text translation tool for sign language, applying deep learning and machine learning methods.
Employment
Experience
- Video-to-Text Sign Language (ASL) Translation
The goal was to translate sign language performed by humans from a video to text that non-signers could then understand. I collected and labeled my dataset, designed 3D convolutional sequence-to-sequence architecture, and trained the model on AWS.
