NavyasriAmand/README.md

Navyasri Amand, AI/ML Engineer. Animated banner: a question flows through retrieval and a grounding gate into a cited answer.

I build ML systems that prove their numbers: recommenders scored against honest baselines, fraud models thresholded in dollars, and RAG services that cite their sources or say "I don't know".

Tech stack, by depth

Not a logo wall. This is where my time has actually gone:

Level Stack Signal
Expert Python · PyTorch · scikit-learn · XGBoost · LightGBM · SQL · PySpark Daily drivers across both roles; modeling, feature engineering, and evaluation live here
Advanced RAG · LangChain · Transformers · Hugging Face · TensorFlow · Kafka · Spark Structured Streaming · Airflow · MLflow · Docker LLM applications, streaming inference, and the MLOps spine of my repos
Working Kubernetes · GitHub Actions · Jenkins · Prometheus · Grafana · Evidently AI · Power BI · Hive · AWS (EMR, EC2, S3) · Azure Deployment, monitoring, and reporting around the models

Python, PyTorch, TensorFlow, scikit-learn, Flask, FastAPI, Kafka, AWS, Azure, Docker, Kubernetes, GitHub Actions, Grafana, Git


🔭 Current focus

At Meta, building AI/ML for systems that serve billions of interactions:

  • Recommendation and NLP models with PyTorch, Transformers, and Hugging Face, tuned through offline and online evaluation
  • RAG and LLM applications for semantic search, summarization, and conversational AI
  • Real-time streaming inference on Kafka and Spark Structured Streaming
  • Model monitoring across drift, latency, and data quality with Prometheus, Grafana, and Evidently AI

🧪 Featured work (real, runnable, with real numbers)

Every repo below installs with pip, runs offline, and prints the numbers its README claims.

Project What it proves Headline number
grounded-rag-service RAG with cited answers, a faithfulness gate, and abstention on a measured curve; a chunking by retriever grid shows why retrieval metrics alone mislead False answers: 100% ungated, 13% at the default gate, 0% strict, on 400 questions
fraud-detection-pipeline Fraud scoring thresholded in dollars, not F1: PySpark feature parity, from-scratch PSI drift monitor, Airflow drift gate Operating cost down 30.5%, false positives down 91.5% vs the default threshold
hybrid-movie-recommender Hybrid recommender with a per-user confidence-weighted blend, judged against honest popularity and kNN baselines Cold-start P@10 up 80%; 371 req/s at 20 ms p95 under load

🧭 The through line

Wells Fargo taught me that a model's real metric is denominated in dollars: a fraud false positive is a frozen card and an angry customer, so I learned to pick thresholds by cost, not F1. Meta taught me evaluation at scale: nothing ships on vibes, everything ships on measured lift. My repos are those two lessons fused and open-sourced: the fraud pipeline prices its threshold in dollars, the recommender publishes its baselines, and the RAG service treats "I don't know" as a first-class, measured answer. In between the two jobs I finished an M.S. in Business Analytics, and took the Meta seat before the degree was even done.
