Work Experience

July 2025 – Present

Built AI-powered systems for the maritime industry, focusing on voyage cost optimization, revenue prediction, and operational intelligence.

Problem

Executives in large shipping companies struggled with delayed access to critical business insights. Data retrieval depended heavily on manual report generation, causing significant delays in decision-making.

Solution

Developed AI-powered platforms enabling real-time querying, analysis, and explanation of enterprise data. Transformed raw operational data into actionable insights within seconds.

Key Impact:

  • Enabled top-level executives to access business-critical insights instantly.
  • Eliminated dependency on manual reporting workflows.
  • Built systems allowing drill-down from high-level summaries to granular cargo-level data.

"Regularly interacted with CTOs, CFOs, and CXOs of major shipping companies to understand their decision-making challenges and translate them into AI-driven solutions."

Jan 2025 – June 2025
  • Designed and developed a PoC for an LLM-powered clinical application to improve healthcare workflow efficiency; the solution is currently in the process of patent filing.
  • Designed and implemented a FastAPI server architecture to unify access to OpenAI SDK and locally hosted LLMs via OpenAPI endpoints.

SURE: Session-Based Uninteresting Item Removal for Enhanced Recommendations

IEEE AccessVol: 13, pp. 43904 - 43918 2025

Sequential recommendation systems struggle with short user interaction sequences, often resulting in poor recommendation accuracy due to insufficient or uninteresting data. To address this, we propose SURE (Session-based Uninteresting Item Removal for Enhanced Recommendations), which combines association rule mining and backward prediction to enrich sequences and remove irrelevant items. Our method enhances recommendation quality by refining input data, achieving a 7.31% average gain in MRR and outperforming state-of-the-art techniques on multiple real-world datasets.
