Srikar Giridhar

A passion-driven Data Scientist, MBA and Electronics Engineer, seeking a fast-paced, high-tech environment with an agile team, to sharpen my Machine Learning skillset and develop the knowledge acquired during my M.Sc. in Big Data and Artificial Intelligence. I am also certified as a Lean Six Sigma Green Belt and an IBM Data Science Professional and have gained experience as a full-time Deep Learning Researcher with four publications due over the next few months.

I have experience as a Deep Learning Researcher, Product Evangelist, Project Management Intern and Product Development Intern. My experience was gained in a mixture of dynamic and fast-paced startups and well-established and multinational conglomerates. Throughout all of my roles, I have always excitedly taken on new challenges that I knew very little about in the beginning and gained valuable experience while achieving targets that were beyond what was set as a baseline, be it learning to work with software such as AutoCAD within a matter of hours, developing on 1000s of Euros worth of hardware in a matter of days or even learning about the areas of linguistics, signal processing and speech processing and then engineering a new feature-set for state-of-the-art results in deepfake detection, all in a matter of a few months. I work extremely calmly and well under pressure and have always bonded well with my teams. (I would be happy to provide a recommendation letter that confirms the same.)

I recently graduated from SRH Hochschule Berlin with a Master's degree in Big Data and Artificial Intelligence (GPA - 1.5). My master thesis topic was: DeepFake Voice Detection: A Formant-based approach to Synthetic Speech Detection. My choice to pursue this degree came after completing my MBA back in India. I did have potential job offers in the field of product management of AI-based products, but, I wanted to deepen my knowledge of the field of data science and follow my passion for technology, which brought me to where I am today. During my two-year curriculum at SRH Berlin, I was also the Class Representative for my batch and was actively working with the University though regular meetings in improving and updating the programme. I would act as a bridge between my classmates and the professor and management to facilitate a healthy relation and ensure that feedback was heard and implemented.
