Sai brings hands\-on experience across modeling, data engineering, production deployment, and business\-facing engineering work\. Sai’s technical strengths include Python, machine learning, AI, deep learning, TensorFlow, PyTorch, retrieval\-augmented generation \(RAG\) pipelines, LLM integration, embeddings, Kubernetes, microservices, and CI/CD\. Sai has worked with text, image, and embedding data and has led cross\-functional engineering teams\. A notable project was an end\-to\-end production RAG pipeline built from scratch: Sai cleaned and normalized messy data, designed custom retrieval logic rather than relying on existing frameworks, and deployed an LLM chatbot to production\. That work delivered 50% time savings and an 80% accuracy improvement\. Sai is strongest in greenfield system building and describes this orientation as that of a startup engineer, with an interest in advancing reasoning\-model work, debugging automation, and reductions in human error\. ## Highlights - Built an end\-to\-end RAG pipeline from scratch, including data cleaning, normalization, custom retrieval logic, and production deployment of an LLM chatbot\. - Delivered 50% time savings and an 80% accuracy improvement on a RAG pipeline project\. - Designed custom retrieval logic for RAG systems instead of relying on existing frameworks\. - Works with text, image, and embedding data\. - Brings hands\-on experience with TensorFlow, PyTorch, Kubernetes, microservices, and CI/CD\. - Has experience spanning ML modeling, deployment, data engineering, and business\-facing responsibilities\. - Has led cross\-functional engineering teams\. - Works as a Machine Learning Engineer at the University of Utah\. - Worked as an Engineer in Development at Tata Technologies\. - Worked as a Graduate Engineering Trainee at Panther Motocorp Private Limited and as an Analyst at Panther Moto Corp\. - Worked as an Engineer in SLDC at Amara Raja Group\. - Completed a summer internship at Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited\. - Completed an internship at Hindustan Shipyard Limited in India\. - Earned a master’s degree in Data Science from Clarkson University\. - Earned a Bachelor of Technology in Computer Science from Godavari Institute of Engineering & Technology \(GIET\)\. ## Experience - **Machine Learning Engineer at University of Utah** (2025\-07\-01–present) - **Engineer at Tata Technologies** (2022\-03\-01–2023\-07\-01) — Development - **Engineer at Amara Raja Group** (2021\-04\-01–2022\-03\-01) — SLDC - **Graduate Engineering Trainee at Panther Motocorp Private Limited** (2019\-11\-01–2021\-04\-01) — Analyst at Panther Moto Corp - **Intern at Hindustan Shipyard Limited \- India** (2018\-06\-01–2018\-07\-01) - **Summer Internship at Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited** (2017\-06\-01–2017\-07\-01) ## Education - Master's degree, Data Science — Clarkson University (2023\-08\-01–2025\-04\-01) - Bachelor of Technology \- BTech, Computer Science — Godavari Institute of Engineering & Technology \(GIET\) (2015\-01\-01–2019\-01\-01) ## FAQ ### What does Sai do?
