About Anuj
My career began in Mumbai as a Software Developer.
I wonder what's next...
Born in Mumbai where I attended St.Francis D'Assisi High School and represented the school in football and learned Indian Classical music for 8+ years. I graduated from Thadomal Shahani Engineering College (Mumbai University) with a degree in Bachelor of Engineering. Unlike other kids divided between either sports or arts or science, I was able to indulge myself in all fields and excel in the same.
After completing my undergraduate I started working as Software Developer at Excell Autovista (Mumbai, India) which was an automobile retail company where I was able to showcase my skill set along with learning new skills around. I kept myself busy throughout the weekend by trekking through scaled mountains and forts.
After gaining experience in the field, it was time to gain advanced knowledge hence i decided to pursue my future at Rochester Institute of Technology (New York) to gain expertise in the field of Computer Science. Along the course, I'm trying to gain experience in the field of Machine learning, Computer Vision, and Big data by creating projects of my own. The thought of machine taking over all human emotions and work has always fascinated me and keeps me indulged to study about the same.
Skills
My passion lies in creating programs using languages like Python, Java, C/C++, MATLAB, JavaScript, HTML, CSS but...

Work Experience
Walmart Inc.
(MAY 2022 - PRESENT)
- Senior Software Engineer, Machine Learning Engineer
• Built Machine Learning models by researching, implementing, and evaluating a variety of published approaches and algorithms for audio signal processing.
• Played a crucial role in the development and architecture designing of Large Language Model (LLM)-powered chat service (My Assistant) for 2 million+ Walmart employees, managing 10,000+ daily requests with a 99% uptime. Additionally, contributed to the integration of new experiences add-ons for those services.
• Lead the development and deployment of multiple machine learning workflows on Apache Airflow using CI/CD deployment techniques for Git repo, while ensuring integrated logging and monitoring on Splunk, Prometheus, and Grafana. These workflows drove significant improvements in operational efficiency and accuracy.
• Built and fine-tuned multiple Natural Language Processing (NLP) models using state-of-the-art techniques such as TensorFlow and sklearn. These models served as a superior alternative to the existing production model, boosting output accuracy for enhancing customer experience.
• Optimized the performance of existing production workflows, delivering a 533.3% increase in time efficiency and reducing memory utilization by 80% on average. This helped Walmart save significant cloud cost.
• Constructed a comprehensive Knowledge Graph on Neo4j, which effectively organized associate data for faster data retrieval and inferencing. This resulted in more precise and prompt decision-making and analysis, driving operational excellence at Walmart.
Bose Corporation (Framingham, MA)
(JAN 2021 - DEC 2021)
- Software Engineering, Machine Learning Engineer Co-op
• Built Machine Learning models by researching, implementing, and evaluating a variety of published approaches and algorithms for audio signal processing.
• Worked as a Software Engineer in the planning, analyzing, designing, developing, testing, implementing, and maintaining - Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) for a product.
• Reduced response lag time by 75% by pruning and compressing deep learning models for deployment on edge devices and embedded targets instead of using cloud services, thus increasing model efficiency.
• Recognized anomalies in datasets and boosted model efficiency by 35% by performing data analysis and visualization using PostgreSQL, AWS QuickSight, Grafana, Power BI, and Tableau.
• Built and trained complex deep neural network models with TensorFlow, Keras, PyTorch, and other tools on an AWS EC2 instance. Leveraged data from AWS S3 bucket to train and test the models.
• Developed, integrated, and deployed numerous microservices on AWS Lambda and Docker. Designed and integrated HTTP/RESTful API to access and utilize data, streamlining data processing and enhancing performance.
Excell Autovista (Mumbai, India)
