Hey there! I am Puneet.
I have a strong foundation in languages such as Python, Java, Perl, C/C++, C#, Matlab, bash, and javascript, as well as working knowledge of frameworks like Pyspark, Flask, Apache (Hadoop, Pig), Couchbase, AWS, and Keras.
Throughout my career, I have optimized pricing, developed speaker identification systems, extracted company names and key-people from websites, and identified duplicate documents in real-time. I am also passionate about working on personal projects that allow me to continuously improve my skills and expand my knowledge base.
You can reach me via email: pludu@buffalo.edu. I'm always open to interesting conversations and collaboration.
Machine Learning
I am deeply passionate about the field of Machine Learning and its use for doing good! One of my hobbies is to read papers and blogs about latest and greatest in the field and how is it helping people to advance in the toughest problems of the world.
Natural Language Processing
I have always enjoyed observing human behavior and trying to make sense of our interactions with one another. Most of my professional experience is related to understanding natural language to develop and productionize Text Classification, Data/Entity extraction, Near Duplicate Identification algorithms.
Cloud Computing
I maintain servers for database storage, model training, and model deployment. Most of my cloud experience is with Amazon AWS.
Big Data Computing
When the data is huge and the laptop is just not enough, I switch to PySpark.
I Databricks!
Model Deployment
I implement machine learning models in real world production systems using REST APIs.
Side Projects
When I see a problem which is not even related to Machine Learning, I try to implement solution and opensource it. Whenever possible, I try to contribute to opensource projects as well.
