Work History

Technical Director of Machine Learning

NetraMark Corp
10.2018 - Current


  • Developed a pipeline to generate synthetic patient data using generative AI(GAN) to overcome small sample size during clinical trials.
  • Developed an automatic report generation and diagnoses by fine tuning LLM( ChatGPT).
  • Built a computer vision application to segment and mark the affected nasal section of CT scans using CNNs.
  • Developed a facial expression recognition and eye tracking system for a mental health application called 'Nurosene'.
  • Created ML application using combination of classical feature extraction and dimensionality reduction techniques to analyze huge clinical trials datasets. This was also used to analyze patient's MRNA sequence and genes for drug discovery.
  • Developed an IoT platform for people counting, people tracking for social distancing, facial recognition and mask detection for closed space environments.
