About

Harshit Saxena is a highly skilled Data Scientist with 5.37 years of relevant experience in the field. He holds an Integrated Dual Degree in Metallurgical Engineering from Indian Institute of Technology, Madras. Harshit's passion for Data Science began during his 2nd year at IIT Madras when he learned about basic ML algorithms and applied them to multiple hackathons held across India. This motivated him to take his Master's project in the field of Data Science, where he had the opportunity to apply some of these concepts in his core branch. Harshit has worked on various Deep Learning projects at G.E. HeathCare and created a prototype for solving some problems for Radiologists using Image Segmentation. Currently, he is working as a Data Scientist III at Meesho, where he is responsible for developing data science-driven projects that have a direct impact on business decisions. Harshit has automated the machine learning life-cycle for piracy detection systems for one of the clients at Fractal Analytics. He has also developed multiple ML algorithms for piracy detection of software for a fortune 500 client and generated leads accounting for 50% of the annual revenue of the License & Compliance Team. Harshit has a diverse skill set that includes expertise in Python, ML, NLP, Neural Networks, SQL, Sentiment Analysis, Image Segmentation, Deep Learning, AI, and more. He has implemented multiplicative LSTM language models based on the paper "Learning to Generate Reviews and Discovering Sentiment" using Keras. Harshit has also developed an unsupervised sentiment analysis pipeline for customer reviews that was later integrated with Fractal's AI platform - IVA. Harshit has worked with multiple companies, including Trell and Fractal Analytics, where he has led planning and development of data science use-cases and reported improvements in product features to stakeholders. He has designed content seeder frameworks, reduced median numbers of days to reach 100 views for a cold/new video, and mentored junior data scientists and interns. Harshit is a highly motivated and skilled data scientist who is always eager to learn and apply new concepts and technologies.
