About Me

Hi Sir/Mam,

My name is Vikash Kumar Prasad, and I have 5(Intern 1 year and 4 years as a Data Scientist), years of experience as a Data Scientist, based out of Hyderabad, India, in a couple of product-based organiza...experience as a Data Scientist, based out of Hyderabad, India, in a couple of product-based organizations. I have been actively involved in the development of the core data-based products for my organizations with in-depth experience in setting up Azure Machine Learning pipelines.

Products and Tech Stack worked and developed on:

• Gainsight Sally(A conversational AI with the tech stack of  RASA-NLU+Python+Pandas+Numpy+Scipy+Jenkins+Git)

• Cold-start-Classification(A Deep Learning based multi-classification for text, for GEP, we have filed patent also for it)

  • Python+Pandas+Numpy+Pytorch+AzureML+AzureDF+Scikit-Learn+AzureBlob

• Newsfeeds(Automated collection of news from around the world for specific terms, finding topics and summarizing the news, Risk Modelling Using The Articles)

  • Python+Pandas+Numpy+AzureML+AzureDF+Gensim+Scikit-Learn+AzureBlob

• Parametric Cost Modelling(A regression-based tool to ascertain cost based on different parameters and previous data history.)

  • Azure ML+Python+AzureBlob+Scikit-Learn(ML)+AzureBlob

• Recommendation Engine(A recommendation engine used to recommend relevantly suppliers using NLP, and purchasing history)

  • Azure ML+Python+AzureBlob+Scikit-Learn(ML)+AzureBlob

• Multiple Churn Predictive models as a Consultant Data Scientist

GEP Experience 

Responsibilities at GEP include understanding business problems, connecting to key stakeholders(UI/PMG), defining the flow of data collection, processing, and storage. Within a short period of time at GEP, I have developed and delivered key products that are directly proportional to the organization’s revenues. For GEP identifying new suppliers for millions of different products is of utmost importance, and hence NLP based products become of highest priority, I have tried and delivered such products in every sphere of GEP.

Gainsight Experience:

I have worked extensively on exploration and building churn predictive models at Gainsight which is primarily a CRM based organization. I have worked as a Consultant Data Scientist and build predictive models(Churn prediction) in my internship days with 5-6 customers. One of the ingredients that I learned in building predictive models was to learn how to generate effective insights that have a business impact. I developed and deployed conversational AI  Gainsight Sally, a Conversational AI. We developed a NER for this purpose using RASA-NLU and achieved an accuracy of 90% on entities. We released the chatbot back in April 2017 and it has been a success since then.

Regarding my education, I am a graduate of  IIT(ISM)-Dhanbad in M.Phil(Applied Mathematics) and M.Sc(Mathematics & Computing) from the same.

Apart from the tech stack and projects, I am concentrated on finding a good work-life balance and a company that invests in its employees. Hope I get to hear from you guys soon.
