Hi there, I'm Nirbhai - Machine Learning Engineer 👨🏻‍💻

“One must imagine Sisyphus happy.” ― Albert Camus

🔭 I’m currently working on ☝🏻

• German Centre for Open Source AI:
  • Improving the architecture and interface design of Deep Learning models in sktime
  • Migrating the backend of Deep Learning time series models in sktime from TensorFlow to PyTorch

🔭 I’ve previously worked on 🕵🏻‍♂️

• Built a wooden cabin 🪵
• Founded a product and UX design agency specializing in AI products 📲
• Built dynamic pricing models at PriceLabs for short term rental revenue optimization 📈
• Integrated moderm ML techniques into legacy Avionics products at Honeywell Aerospace as an ML Tech Lead ✈️

🌱 In my free time I love ✨

• going for long walks 🚶
• reading and all things literary 📚
• looking at trees outside my window 🌲

🤔 I'm currently thinking about 💡

• How come classical statistical models were ok with less data but new machine learning models based on same are not?
• Why is Bayesian way of inferencing probabilities so unintuitive? (atleast to me)
• Machine learning design patterns and MLOps!!
