Experience

1. Ai Machine Learning Engineer

   HCLTech

   Jan 2025 — Present · US

   Designed and deployed CNN-based computer vision solutions to detect and classify manufacturing defects from high-resolution imagery, achieving 94% accuracy and reducing manual inspection time by 55% for a major industrial client.Implemented Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Autoencoders in PyTorch to reduce dimensionality and noise in multimodal datasets, improving model inference speed by 38% while maintaining prediction accuracy.Engineered a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipeline combining LangChain and LLaMA to enable domain-specific knowledge retrieval from MongoDB and AWS-hosted datasets, reducing average search-to-answer time from 90 seconds to under 15 seconds.Developed and fine-tuned Named Entity Recognition (NER) models in Keras for extracting key entities from unstructured reports, increasing information retrieval precision from 81% to 95%, directly enhancing compliance documentation workflows.Created a Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) framework to synthetically expand limited training datasets for rare defect detection, boosting model recall for low-frequency classes by 27%.Integrated multimodal AI capabilities by combining text-based GPT-4 and Claude agents with image analysis pipelines, enabling automated cross-referencing of visual defects and textual maintenance records, and reducing root cause analysis time by 42%.Built interactive Tableau dashboards that visualize AI-driven insights, anomaly detection metrics, and operational KPIs in real-time, allowing stakeholders to act on model outputs without engineering support.
