Experience :

With 4+ years of experience in developing and deploying ML and NLP systems, I have actively contributed to multiple projects, applying NLP techniques for real-world problem-solving. I have worked with large, complex datasets, implementing hybrid ML-DL approaches for automated text processing, sentiment analysis, and multilingual content understanding. My research collaborations span multiple institutions, focusing on AI-driven solutions for text analysis and detection tasks.

Research Focus :

I specialize in Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Machine Learning, with a particular emphasis on Offensive Language Detection and Sentiment Analysis of Code-Mixed Data. My research explores multilingual and low-resource language models, leveraging and fine-tuning mBERT, XLM-R, IndicBERT, and Google’s BERT-based models. I am particularly interested in hate speech detection, sentiment analysis, language identification, and emotion analysis in complex linguistic environments. My work integrates deep learning techniques, transformers, and hybrid ML-DL models to improve text processing and understanding in diverse multilingual contexts.
