Python developer/Data Scientist

Responsibilities:

• Responsible for researching and developing algorithms that can efficiently learn diverse and powerful representations for many kinds of data, including representations for electrical device power consumption.
• End to end responsibility in designing and architecture of the models, setting up the cloud platforms for Action and lab manuals.
• The data collected from the chips is raw signal (Time domain) data is really tedious for analysis. Transformations are applied on the RAW Signal data (Frequency data), so that it’s easy to understand and analyze the behavior.
• Built models using Statistical techniques like Bayesian HMM and Machine Learning classification models like XG Boost, SVM, and Random Forest.
• Lambda architecture was proposed to be deployed on Raspberry Pi. The model build on the data was pickled and deployed on the UNIX like environment to run every second.
• The outputs from the pickle file are written to the Database which run on AWS.
• The data from the database is re-directed to the Web client & Smart app cloud for display using a unified REST API written in FLASK.
• Automated the process of creating daily reports including Total, power consumption and individual appliance power consumption.
• The model was further leveraged to detect the appliance health and utilization.
