Notes on my employment and related experiences. Past, current and future.
Starting around July of 2024, I am working on personal projects and trying to figure out the next 10 years or so of my life.
Before this, I headed the Machine Learning team at Skit.ai from 2018 to 2024. There I built and grew the ML function starting with initial development of goal oriented voicebots that now run at scale across India and the USA. During these 6 years, I saw the company grow from ~15 people to ~400 and dabbled in a wide spectrum of work including ML research and development, system design, team and org building, strategy, vision, and much more–including renaming the company from Vernacular to Skit.
Previously,
- I worked as part time programmer at The Reich Lab during my Master's (2016-2018) on epidemic forecasting models and tooling.
- During my Bachelor's, I interned at Qualcomm Research Bangalore (2015), working on image quality tuning systems.
