💼 Work Experience
Senior Research Engineer (AI/ML)
NVIDIA • New Jersey
- Developing Special Scenario Recorder (SSR) for collecting rare data events across 1k+ fleet of customer vehicles. The system fuses conventional vehicle signals (speed, acceleration, GPS etc.) with world model embeddings to recognize rare scenarios.
- Developed simulation software (open and closed loop) for testing SSR based offline data retrieval system.
- Implemented Qwen-based multi-modal data retrieval system that utilizes contrastive learning to align text (query) embeddings with video (document) embeddings, resulting in 5% improvement in precision.
- Developed custom data sampling strategy reducing training dataset size by 50% while maintaining 95% of the original performance.
- Developed DL-based data collection strategy by exploiting perception data similarity between different geographical regions.
Data Scientist Intern
Microsoft • Seattle
- Developed a deep learning framework to evaluate the impact of map features such as roads, parks, water bodies, buildings, and markers on user preferences for various mapping platforms
- Achieved a 5% increase in user preference for Bing Maps over competing platforms
