Co-founder

• Mar 2017 - Mar 2022

NeurokN (Neuron with a K for knowledge) is an artificial intelligence-enabled cloud-based analytics platform that captures the user's problem statement and converts it into a context-sensitive "cognitive map". Sold this technology as a license to another startup which is presently generating $5M arr by applying in the open innovations and market validation. Various solutions are developed on this platform with one being "Analyze 360", wherein the "cognitive map" is utilized as a payload for the analytics layer to perform various intense cognitive tasks against large datasets (for example: automated market research). Another solution we built on the platform is called "ProximGene" which provides a person an ability to find people in the physical proximity that share common interests or mutually beneficial resources (for example: an entrepreneur at Gate 52 in an airport finding a VC at Gate 45 via ProximGene, who otherwise would have never met). Our "Beam" protocol makes the communication process with strangers easy and secure. Responsible for developing AI/ML enabled solutions ground up. Cutting edge technology adoption in Artificial Intelligence (AI) where in we leveraged: 1. CNN based cloud vision for object recognition and feature highlighting capability. - Used Pytorch, tensorflow, Conda and OpenCV. 2. Data mining and NLP based 'smart search'. 3. Optical Character Recognition of Receipts - Tesseract OCR, and Conda. Show less

Software Researcher

• May 2003 - Aug 2003

Developed complex mathematical (theoretical computer science) proofs using techniques such as Formal Methods (developed by University of Michigan) and Input/Output Automaton (developed by MIT) for Distributed Protocols. These techniques will provide an innovative way of test complex pseudo-codes (or algorithms) for completeness, security and functionality, even before any source code is written. Once proved, the I/O Automaton will help you generate the source code from the tested pseudo-code in a high-level language. Show less
