vipin.kumar@portfolio:~$ experience
I bring a strong foundation in machine learning, generative ai, data engineering, and automation. My experience spans startups and fast-paced teams where I’ve fine-tuned deep learning models, built large-scale data pipelines, and deployed production-ready AI solutions that drive real-world impact.
Associate Developer
Jan 2024 – Nov 2024
• Fine-tuned the YOLOv8 deep learning model on a custom-curated dataset to accurately detect and classify diagrammatic images (including flowcharts, Venn diagrams, and similar visuals), achieving over 95% accuracy in real-world evaluation scenarios.• Leveraged Python’s Pandas library for data wrangling, performing operations such as timestamp normalization, anomaly and inconsistency removal, de-duplication, and conversion of unstructured raw data into clean, analysis-ready formats.•Automated large-scale data acquisition pipelines using tools such as Selenium, Octoparse, and Bardeen to scrape and aggregate high-volume datasets from diverse sources, including social media platforms, government portals, and online news outlets.• Implemented robust exception handling frameworks to address challenges like dynamic content rendering, authentication bypass failures, and network timeouts, significantly improving the reliability and resilience of data collection systems.
