The Human Behind the Models
A data scientist who believes that production impact matters more than benchmark scores.
👋 Hello, I'm Rhitwij
I'm a Data Scientist at Softweb Technology Pvt. Ltd. in Kolkata, where I build production ML systems that solve real industrial challenges — from driver safety in fleet management to anomaly detection in mining operations.
My background in Electrical Engineering (B.Tech, BPUT Odisha) gave me a strong foundation in signal processing and embedded systems — skills that directly translate to my work on edge AI deployments with Raspberry Pi and TensorRT optimization.
I care deeply about the full ML lifecycle— not just model accuracy, but data pipelines, experiment tracking, model versioning, deployment reliability, and monitoring in production. If a model isn't running reliably in production, it's not done.
Currently open to Data Scientist, ML Engineer, and MLOps roles where I can work on impactful problems at scale. Based in Varanasi, India — available for remote or hybrid opportunities.

🎲 Beyond Work
Built my first Raspberry Pi project in 2021 — a home automation controller using Python GPIO.
Fascinated by the MQTT protocol — love how small the packets are for IoT telemetry.
I track every ML experiment obsessively — W&B run dashboards are my favorite thing to show people.
Fluent in English and Hindi. Currently learning to read Bengali (thanks to Kolkata!).
Read research papers on arXiv daily — especially CVPR and NeurIPS proceedings.
Best ideas come during late-night debug sessions with strong chai and lo-fi music.
