ABOUT SIDDESH PANIKKAR

ML Engineer and Data Analyst with a postgraduate degree in Artificial Intelligence & Data Science and hands-on experience across the full data lifecycle from raw ingestion to production model deployment. I build things that work in the real world: a speech emotion recognition system that lifted candidate interview preparedness by 40%, ML pipelines with 70% faster execution via parallelization, and statistical credit models that improved loan portfolio forecasting by 15%. Core strengths:• Machine learning & deep learning (PyTorch, TensorFlow, Keras, Scikit-learn) • Generative AI, LLMs & NLP (LangChain, RAG, Hugging Face Transformers, NLTK, LLM fine-tuning) • Data analysis & visualization (Python, SQL, Tableau, Power BI) • Cloud & MLOps (AWS, Azure, Docker, CI/CD, GitHub) • Statistical modeling: regression, forecasting, credit risk, A/B testing I\'m equally comfortable writing a training loop, querying a 100k-row database, or presenting insights to non-technical stakeholders. I work well in Agile/Scrum teams and have led cross-functional projects from requirements through deployment. Let\'s connect.
