Summary

AI/ML engineer with expertise in software engineering, LLMs, and secure AI systems. Skilled in building scalable, production-ready solutions across retrieval-augmented generation, NLP, and computer vision, focused on solving real-world problems with cutting-edge technologies.

Experience

Data Scientist · SAP · Germany

Oct 2024 – Present
  • Designed and implemented a production-grade Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) framework for enterprise case management and the SAP Help Portal, leveraging LLMs (Llama, Mistral, GPT-based models).
  • Built and deployed a prompt framework for LLM integration across SAP AI services: ISM case summarization & root-cause analysis, outbreak detection for major-case narratives, and AI-based component prediction.
  • Developed a dynamic, structured prompt-template system for varied document types (SAP Notes, KBAs, Community Articles) for consistent LLM reasoning and output quality.
  • Led an Auto Prompt Tuning (APT) initiative: prompt-variation testing (grid/random search) and reinforcement learning (PPO/bandit) to optimise document-selection accuracy.
  • Engineered secure prompt handling (fixed vs. user-modifiable segregation) to prevent prompt injection, and reasoning chains for explainability.
  • Managed model lifecycle and deployment with Kubeflow and CI/CD, integrating security (Mend) and code-quality (Sonar) gates.

Machine Learning Engineer · SAP · Germany

Oct 2023 – Sep 2024
  • Ran benchmarking, fluctuation analysis, and root-cause investigations on ML recommendation systems and ISM/Coveo search pipelines.
  • Designed a scalable human-feedback system (API + PostgreSQL) for ISM RAG, with binary, categorical, and fine-grained feedback aligned with Perplexity, GPT, and Bing.
  • Led data analysis, visualization, and dataset creation over large-scale customer-incident data to improve AI recommendations and search accuracy.

Research Assistant · DFKI · Germany

Sep 2022 – Sep 2023
  • Worked on computer-vision OCR (PaddleOCR, EasyOCR, PyTesseract) and NER for the Trusted Research Environment (OpenSafely project).
  • Contributed to a Secure ML Architecture for analysing sensitive electronic health records (EHR).

Senior Software Engineer · EPAM Systems · India

Jan 2018 – Feb 2022
  • Built smart applications for Mastercard GDPR with OCR text extraction and NER entity detection.
  • Built an email classifier (Random Forest) to automate business operations.
  • Full-stack development (Java, Spring, Angular) with a microservice architecture for a multinational financial client.

Product Development Intern · Adobe Systems · India

Early career
  • Performance enhancement for the resource-critical Live Edit Service (LES) in Java.
