Employment History

Lead Data Scientist at Roadzen Inc Current 2025 - Now
o Built Autospect, a Claude-powered motor insurance claims agent that automated 80% of the pre-inspection workflow, reducing claim intake turnaround time from hours to minutes. o Engineered a from-scratch instance segmentation pipeline using a frozen DINOv2 backbone and Mask2Former head for car-part segmentation, achieving ~93% AP50 on the test dataset. o Fine-tuned a 4-bit quantised Qwen-vision 2.5vl with LoRA, improving extraction accuracy by 37%, with key business fields achieving up to 90% accuracy. o Created a Gemini-based vehicle identity extraction pipeline with 97.8% accuracy.
Research Assistant at University of Edinburgh 2024 - 2024
o Scraped and processed 70GB of historical FTSE All-Share annual reports for financial QA research. o Benchmarked GPT against 4-bit quantized Llama and Mistral models on QA tasks, with GPT outperforming both by ~12% in answer accuracy. o Improved QA performance by 16% over baseline RAG pipelines by implementing a MapReduce-based ranking architecture with comparable inference latency.
Senior Data Scientist at Roadzen Inc 2020 - 2023
o Built end-to-end ML pipelines for data ingestion, training, and model serving using FastAPI, Airflow, and Jenkins, enabling automated retraining and deployment of in-house ML models. o Enhanced an insurance policy QA system using GPT-based retrieval, achieving 95% answer accuracy. o Built a Mask R-CNN model for instance segmentation of vehicle damage, parts, and profiles using PyTorch, reducing claims processing time from 40 minutes to under 2 minutes. o Redesigned the mAP evaluation metric to better account for annotation subjectivity, improving model performance achieving 74 mAP. o Reduced Damage Recognition API inference latency by 30% using TorchServe and FastAPI.
Data Scientist at Spoonshot 2019 - 2020
o Designed a weighted DeepWalk-based graph model using ingredient co-occurrence and flavour pairing theory to generate novel flavour combinations. o Scaled graph edge weight generation to over 100 million ingredient combinations using PySpark. o Implemented a Fast R-CNN pipeline for nutrition panel extraction from product images, achieving 85 mAP.
