Work Experience

Machine Learning Engineer

2020 - 2022
Leena AI
  • Developed a complete ML back end to classify user queries from bot to more than 500 intents. This reduced prediction time per query by more than 5x and training time by 10x.
  • Ideated and developed a front and back end to facilitate internal bot data creation and management, used by more than 15 analysts. Reduced bot development time by 2x.
  • Developed a PDF Parser utility to prepare FAQs and parse tables out of scanned PDF documents, reducing the time required by a factor of 5x.

Machine Learning Engineer

2019 - 2020
PolicyBazaar
  • Achieved a 25% increase in lead conversion and a 30% increase in revenue by using an AI-lead ranking algorithm.
  • Built a lead rejection model using call transcriptions data, leading to an estimated cost savings of 10%.
  • Constructed an intent identification system for WhatsApp, resolving 50% queries without manual effort.

Experience

Intent Classifier for Chatbots

For this project, I developed the complete backend to classify intents from user queries using a 2-stage classifier. This new architecture solved scalability and latency issues associated with the platform. It was unique in a sense it could easily handle large number of intents (~1,000) and frequent retraining on data changes were minimal. It reduces the overall time of deployment by more than 5x.
