About

Hi 👋, this is Nikhil Reddy. I am a programmer who dabbles in various aspects of computer science. I am a 2021 B.Tech graduate student at the National Institute of Technology, Warangal, in Computer Science & Engineering. I am working in ServiceNow as a software engineer, building an end-to-end Recommended Actions Framework, which can leverage ML, and NLP solutions in plugin mode across the organization. I also have the startup MetaMenu, which I started because of my interest in translating theory into practical research to use case. I aim to build a company that can convert research into solutions for problems. I always consider myself an entrepreneur and innovator.

Work Experience

January 2021 - Present

MetaMenu, Hydereabad
Co-Founder

Currently developing an augmented reality app to showcase items in an interactive way from our digital menu.

Implemented inventory system to reduce food wastage by forecasting future demand using LSTM and recommending a dynamic pricing strategy using raw material costs and their expiration dates with a Gradient Boosting Regressor.

We have impacted 9 clients across 3 states by decreasing their operating costs by 10%.

June 2021 - Present

ServiceNow, Hydereabad
Software Engineer

Built an unsupervised recommendation system that recommends a similar ticket to a given ticket. Reduced the time to resolve new tickets significantly. Exploited pre-trained word representations such as word2vec and GloVe.

Developed a Recommended Actions Framework that is used across the organisation in plugin mode and involved in full stack development as well as developing ML and NLP solutions for Enterprise use cases.

April 2020 - June 2020

Mathworks Hydereabad
EDG Research Intern

Researched and implemented a scalable clipboard management solution for the new Browser-based version of MATLAB

Handled various data types for clipboard actions with maximising support across multiple browsers.

June 2019 - July 2019

Green Farm Market, Hydereabad
Web Devloper Intern

Worked in startup at scaling stage, to handle webpage loading optimization. Decreased 25MB website to 8MB. Also learnt about search engine optimization.

Implemented elastic search in page catalog search engine, which improved the page searching capabiltiy, also improved performance and usability by adding fuzzy search concept.

June 2017 - March 2020

Pool-In, NIT Warangal
Co-Founder

Lead an initiative with team of 2 students of my college.

Pool-in is a exchange platform for students to exchange the goods for low cost with other students. Like books , calculators and etc, within campus.

Projects
Thesis Project Recommender Systems
PAIRWISE MAXIMUM MARGIN MATRIX FACTORIZATION

Derived an algorithm with a new loss function and gradients, optimised on hinge loss of pairwise distance between points which reduced the bias problem of Hierarchical Matrix Factorization algorithm.

Implemented the algorithm with metrics like ZOE, MAE and RMSE in Python, worked with MovieLens 100K Dataset.

Computer Vision & Natural Language Processing Project
IMAGE-CAPTIONING

Used Neural Networks to automatically caption the images in Flickr 8K Dataset. Repurposed the InceptionV3 model by removing the softmax layer to enable transfer learning. This output of the network is fed as the image data to the neural Network. The Long Short Time Memory(LSTM) is used as the Network to process the partial captions generated after each iteration.

This is first cut model done as experimentation of combination of CV and NLP

FACE-RECOGNITION

Multiple face recognition in group photo, I used the MTCNN detector to extract faces from the given group image. Then trained faces extracted with Vgg-16 pre-trained model with modification of network.
