No Papers
Relevant Projects:
1) Classification of methylated/non-methylated proteins using ML techniques. (in college, taking LoR from him)
2) Chargebacks detection from transactional dataset and setting up ML pipeline to support SparkML, tensorflow frameworks. (at work, taking LoR from Senior Architect)
Other projects - conversational chatbots using wit.ai to render payment services through chat interface.
Creating data pipelines using Apache Spark & Scala.
Data Storage, retrieval and aggregations using Apache Hbase, MapR-DB, Hive and asynchronous data processing using Kafka.
