About
Quantitatively trained industrial engineer and data scientist (KU Leuven – Top 3 in Europe; IIT Madras Data Science – Top 1 in India) with hands-on experience building and rigorously evaluating statistical and machine-learning models, from a reinforcement-learning control policy in industrial production to a retrieval-augmented QA system benchmarked on standard metrics. Strong grounding in probability, statistics, and applied programming (Python, SQL).
Experience
Algorithms Developer at Atlas Copco Airpower nv (2025-10 – 2026-05)
Young Talent Programme
- Designed and validated a reinforcement-learning (PPO) control policy for real-time industrial compressor set-point tracking, layered with PID auto-tuning in a continuous online-learning loop.
- Diagnosed over-fitting on the underlying low-dimensional control problem and refactored the policy from a deep MLP to a linear model – a data-driven simplification that cut inference compute by over 99% and made real-time on-device deployment feasible.
- Ported the Python training/inference pipeline to C++ (LibTorch) for low-latency, deterministic execution on embedded hardware, working directly with the production control stack.
Education
