Machine Learning Engineer - L3

Feb. '24 ~ Present

  • Got promoted to Level 3 in record time of company’s history!
  • Working on creating a geospatial language model to help optimize delivery agents to deliver orders faster and more efficiently.

Machine Learning Engineer - L2

June '23 ~ Jan. '24

  • Led the research and development of a new address search feature. Improved the existing Lucene based search using fine-tuned LLM, retrieval augmented generation (RAG), and re-ranking. Improved the accuracy to over 60% from just 10% after taking over the project. The project greatly reduced the need for humans in the loop for this essential process and has optimized delivery logistics. We will be submitting our work in ACL 2024 - Industry Track
  • Developed a new Machine Learning driven perishable prediction algorithm that is a 20% improvement from its predecessor and is estimated to save 2000K BDT per month.
  • Developed an in-house recommender system from the ground up for the leading online platform (Chaldal.com) for grocery and delivery in Bangladesh, scaling it to serve more than one million users.
  • Created an AB testing framework for the recommender system that is able to handle quick experiment iterations with no downtime! It is used to evaluate the performance of different recommendation models in production. Currently used to test on 200K+ customers.

Research Intern

Oct. '22 ~ Present

  • Worked on developing a semi-supervised framework for 3D object detection from macromolecular samples. The goal was to detect and classify particles from cryo-electron tomogramss having signal-to-noise ratio as low as 0.1, making it a very challenging problem.

Big Data Intelligence Lab, Auburn University

Auburn University

Research Intern

May '21 ~ Mar '22

  • Worked in Big Data Intelligence (BDI) Lab under Dr. Shubhra Kanti Karmaker, Assistant Professor, Auburn University, Alabama on Short Text Stream Clustering

  • Developed with a team a new software tool called One Pass Sentence Embedding Clustering (OPSEC) that is designed to efficiently cluster short text streams

  • Utilized a unique one-pass algorithm that calculates similarity scores based on sentence embeddings to cluster the short texts

  • Outperforms current state-of-the-art methods in terms of both accuracy and quality of clustering for short text streams
