I serve as a consultant at Arinco in the domain of Data and AI, with research and hands-on expertise in machine learning, deep learning, computer vision, Microsoft Azure AI stack and developing intelligent applications.
Currently I'm reading for the PhD on Deep Learning with the collaboration of Australian Institute of Sport at La Trobe University, Australia.
Awarded from Microsoft as a Most Valuable Professional in Artificial Intelligence consecutively for 5 years.
Being a technical community contributor, I conduct sessions in technical conferences and user group meetups on AI related technologies and do maintain a blog to share my experiences and experiments on deep learning and cognitive computing.
Research Interests : Deep Learning, Computer Vision, Artificial Intelligence
Apart from being an AI researcher, I enjoy most of my time being outdoors. I enjoy hiking, camping, and nature photography. Can explain myself as a travel addict, ready to hit the road at any time with the backpack.
When forced indoors, I do enjoy writing free style poems and short stories, I am an aspiring chef, and I spend a large amount of my free time exploring the wonderful spices in my kitchen.
