Consulting Experience Link to heading

From 2021 to present, I worked on a bunch of machine learning and Backend scaling projects. I helped troubleshoot and improve ML models, built a real-time background removal model that ran in realtime(30FPS+) on-device (and integrated it into stuff like Chroma Cam and Presenter), created a hand-tracking pipeline with an iOS plugin for real-time gesture recognition, and set up a motion analysis pipeline for game videos. I also did some consulting on the backend side, fixing and optimizing systems to make them faster and more scalable. Basically, a mix of building, integrating, and fixing things across ML, real-time systems, and backend stuff.

I also have a very keen interest in Entrepreneurship and always open to working on exciting ideas and projects.

Tech I have worked-on/specialize-in or find interesting so far 🧐 Link to heading

  • Distributed systems
  • On-device ML
  • WebAssembly and AR

I strongly believe in end-to-end productivity and having a holistic product vision than just ticking feature boxes.

I like reading books, both fiction and non-fiction 🌠 🕵️‍♀️ 📚, and writing about tech @swati-modi and blog.

I enjoy running, biking, and pretending to meditate :) 🏃‍♀️🧘‍♀️
