ABOUT

Hello there, I'm Vinay, currently serving as the Vice President (Tech) at Goldman Sachs India, based in Bangalore. I hold Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Computer Science from IIIT-Hyderabad, where I focused my thesis on Natural Language Processing (NLP). My journey includes active involvement in open-source software development, highlighted by my participation in GSoC-2017. My passion lies in algorithm development, spanning both software engineering and data science realms. Whether it's the thrill of competitive programming or the depth of research, I find myself equally engaged. As such, my professional identity blends the roles of developer and researcher seamlessly.

WORK EXPERIENCE

Vice President
Goldman Sachs, Bangalore, India

  • Analysing and stress-testing trading pipelines to be migrated to our micro-services from the existing monolith systems.
  • Worked on a business-agnostic state machine system to connect clients to the front desk for fetching quotes and trading enquiries from GS side.
  • Stress-tested and migrated client services from a venue-based pipeline to direct connectivity for ad-hoc monitoring and better pricing.
  • Worked on setting up service instances across the globe for our systems to have low latency and high availability.

Jan 2021 - Present
Bangalore, India

Sr. Software Engineer (Research)
Samsung Research, Bangalore, India

  • Worked on DAG-based Blockchain to conceptualize an embedded device-based ledger. Which in turn lowers the latency and throughput of the overall network.
  • Worked on Knowledge graph-based profile building using Information extraction from unstructured data sources for a user on smart devices. Improved the entity matching accuracy by 30% using hybrid NLP approaches.
  • Worked on ideas for building applications as well as publishing research papers in the Blockchain domain.

June 2019 - Dec 2020
Bangalore, India

Research Intern
Omniscien Technology, Thailand

The work was focused on the process of augmenting text data using processes used in computer vision for low-resourced languages for Neural Machine Translation tasks as well as building a language dictionary using parallel corpus available under Prof. Philipp Koehn from Johns Hopkins University.

PROJECTS

Semantic Similarity
Natural Language Application

Worked on algorithm to measure the degree of equivalence in the underlying semantics of paired snippets of text in both Hindi and English.

Spring 2018

Wiki Search Engine
Information Retrieval and Extraction

A search engine that uses the 62GB wiki dump to create an index based on the sections the words belongs and at last give back the top ranked documents using tf-idf scores for a given query.

Monsoon 2017

Extractive text summarization
Natural Language Understanding

Implemented an extractive text summarization method, which uses the graph based text ranking algorithm to rank between the sentences and gives out the summary in the mentioned/required number of sentences.

Monsoon 2017

News Popularity Prediction
Machine Learning

Built a model using SVM and Random Forest routines to classify (predict) news articles into two /three classes after feature selection using BIC.

Spring 2017

Fact Checking
Natural Language Processing

Implemented a triplet extraction method to validate a fact. This handles only the factul data present in our corpus.
