Chief Data Scientist

I am passionate about applying AI, machine learning, and control systems to real-world industrial challenges, and I enjoy developing solutions end-to-end, from conceptualization to deployment, while collaborating closely with customers. My main application areas of interest include process & price optimization, condition monitoring, asset performance management, factory automation, demand and revenue forecasting both at macro and micro level. Over the years, I have worked on AI-based predictive maintenance and asset performance management solutions across industries such as steel, glass, oil & gas refinery, chemicals manufacturing, metals, sugar, and finance handling assets like compressors, blowers, pumps, Gas & Steam turbines, motors, and gearboxes. I was part of the development & deployment of a unique Azure cloud-based glass furnace digital twin solution for a major glass manufacturer, enabling fuel savings and greater automation.

I lead a team of highly skilled data scientists to develop and deliver cutting edge Industrial AI products and services for clients worldwide. My current focus is on implementing Agentic Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) architecture that leverages small Language Model (SLMs) to contextualize complex industrial documents - such as Standard Operating Procedures, Process Flow Diagrams, Manuals, Datasheets, Piping & Instrumentation Diagrams(P&IDs). These documents are intelligently categorized into different hierarchical buckets (e.g. Unit, System, Equipment, Component) to populate and enrich domain-specific Knowledge Graph, which serves as the foundation to advanced Generative AI solution.
