Vishesh Srivastava
MSc Data Science Graduate & Aspiring Data Scientist
Professional Summary
MSc Data Science graduate from TU Dortmund University and Full-Stack Developer with four years of experience building scalable web and backend systems using Python, JavaScript, C#, React, Node.js, and .NET. I’m passionate about AI/ML—particularly anomaly detection, NLP, and computer vision—and actively pursuing AWS Machine Learning certification to deepen my cloud expertise.
During my thesis at Robert Bosch GmbH, I designed a hybrid AI pipeline combining image processing and time-series analysis to predict material porosity, automating end-to-end workflows and improving quality control. As an ML/NLP intern, I fine-tuned GPT models and built a RASA-based conversational chatbot, and I’ve also published research on autoencoder optimization for anomaly detection (IEEE 2024) and earned the 2023 Hessen Ideas Scholarship.
With hands-on skills across Scikit-learn, TensorFlow, PyTorch, MLflow, Docker, and AWS/Azure, I excel at turning data into actionable insights and delivering reliable, cost-effective solutions. Outside of tech, I enjoy gardening and DIY home-improvement projects—bringing the same creativity and attention to detail to both my code and my garden.
