Professional Experience

AI/ML Intern
January 2025 – February 2025
AICTE x Shell x Edunet Foundation
  • Designed and evaluated ML pipelines (SVM, Ridge, RF) for sustainability analytics; improved model accuracy by ~18% (R²) on a 15K-record dataset.
  • Automated preprocessing and ETL pipelines with Pandas/NumPy, cutting data handling time by 40%.
  • Built interactive dashboards and data visualizations that supported strategy discussions across 4+ review meetings with Shell engineers.
  • Delivered interpretable visual dashboards (Matplotlib/Seaborn) for 4+ Shell mentorship reviews.
Software Fellow
May 2025 – Present
FOSSEE Fellowship, IIT Bombay (Osdag)
  • Spearheading optimization of welded plate girder design using Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), achieving 10–20% reduction in structural search space and computation time.
  • Refactored 800+ lines of Python backend code to improve modularity, parameter tuning flexibility, and reuse across structural design modules.
  • Delivered production-ready features in coordination with QA and GUI teams, with zero reported post-release issues.
  • Coordinated with QA and GUI teams to deploy reliable features with zero regressions post-deployment.
