KANDERI BABU TRISHA
Professional Summary
Machine Learning Engineer with 0 years of experience building and deploying ML models and full-stack prototypes using Python, TensorFlow/Keras, Flask, and SQL. Hands-on experience with transfer learning for image classification, time-series forecasting (ARIMA, LSTM, XGBoost), feature engineering, and delivering Flask/FastAPI backends and dashboards for real-time inference and monitoring. Strong fundamentals in data structures, OOP, and databases; seeking entry-level ML/AI roles where I can contribute to production-ready model pipelines and data-driven products.
Technical Skills
Work Experience
- Designed and trained a transfer-learning image classifier using VGG16 as backbone to detect four poultry disease classes; selected architecture based on dataset characteristics and accuracy requirements.
- Preprocessed input images to 224×224×3, froze base layers initially and implemented selective unfreezing to preserve pretrained features while enabling task-specific learning.
- Fine-tuned the final 4 layers of VGG16 which improved validation accuracy from 95.40% to 96.25%, demonstrating better generalization on held-out data.
- Managed end-to-end model lifecycle: data preprocessing, training loops, evaluation metrics and iterative hyperparameter tuning using TensorFlow/Keras and Google Colab.
- Packaged the trained model behind a Flask REST API to enable real-time single-image inference from uploads; validated inference flow and integrated with a simple UI for tester usage.
- Prepared evaluation reports and model artifacts for handover, including confusion matrices and per-class accuracy to support deployment decisions and future dataset expansion.
- Developed and benchmarked time-series and supervised models (ARIMA, LSTM, XGBoost) to forecast Azure resource demand across 4 regions and 3 resource types, comparing accuracy and runtime tradeoffs.
- Engineered feature pipelines from three months (1,080 records) of historical utilization data, merging usage with external indicators to improve predictive signal and model robustness.
- Achieved baseline forecasting MAPE of 8–12% using ARIMA and LSTM models on regional resource series, enabling more reliable short-term capacity planning.
- Built and evaluated XGBoost models that reduced backtesting error considerably on the available dataset; documented model selection rationale and validation procedure.
- Implemented Flask backend endpoints and interactive dashboards (dynamic filters by region, resource type, and date) to expose forecasts and visualizations for stakeholders.
- Performed exploratory data analysis and visualization to identify seasonality, trends, and anomalies, informing feature engineering and model retraining cadence.
Projects
- Built a deep learning classifier to detect four poultry disease classes (Salmonella, Newcastle Disease, Coccidiosis, Healthy) using transfer learning and CNN backbones.
- Fine-tuned a VGG16 model by unfreezing final layers and tuning learning rates to obtain 97.85% training accuracy and 96.25% validation accuracy on an 80/20 split.
- Preprocessed images to uniform 224×224×3 tensors and applied training practices (freezing/unfreezing) to balance pretrained feature reuse with task-specific learning.
- Integrated the trained model into a Flask web application to accept image uploads and return real-time predictions for end-user testing and demo purposes.
- Built and compared ARIMA, XGBoost, and LSTM models to forecast compute and storage demand across multiple regions and resource types using 3 months of historical usage.
- Achieved forecast MAPE of 8–12% with ARIMA/LSTM baselines; used XGBoost for additional experiments that produced lower backtesting error on this dataset.
- Performed EDA on merged usage and external factors (economic index, market demand signals, holiday indicators) to derive predictive features and lag variables.
- Developed Flask APIs and an interactive dashboard with dynamic filtering to visualize forecasts and support capacity decision-making by region/resource/date.
- Built an image-based plant disease classifier covering 38 disease classes across 14 crops, achieving ~92% validation accuracy using CNN approaches.
- Implemented a FastAPI backend serving real-time predictions and returning treatment/cure suggestions from a curated disease knowledge base.
- Curated a structured knowledge base mapping each disease class to recommended treatments and precautions for instant retrieval alongside predictions.
- Added multilingual (English + Telugu) text-to-speech output to deliver accessible cure recommendations to farmers with limited literacy.
