Hello, I'm Arjun Sunil!

Talk to me about

About meπŸ™‹β€β™‚οΈ

Hello πŸ‘‹ My name is Arjun Sunil a.k.a. @arjun921 (if you'd like to look me up online)

I am a Data Scientist with a knack for scaling πŸ“ˆ

I am a strong believer that there are no failures, only learnings on how to go right, next time✌🏾

Fun Fact: I'm mostly self-taught in all the domains I've been exposed to 😬

Past

I’m passionate about building things πŸ‘¨πŸΎβ€πŸ­. From model rockets πŸš€ to planes πŸ›©οΈ and a few projects in electronics πŸ”Œ, I built a lot of stuff as a kid 🦾 πŸ‘ΆπŸΎ

As I grew up, my focus pivoted towards Software Engineering where I moved on to build a few android apps πŸ“² and chatbots πŸ€–

Eventually I got involved with Machine Learning and Deep learning.

Present

I’m currently working as a Research Engineer at Merlyn Mind 🟠 working mostly around data and productionizing ML systems.

As an ex-MLOps lead, I worked with Engineers πŸ§‘πŸ»β€πŸ­ πŸ‘·πŸΌ πŸ‘¨πŸΎβ€πŸ­ in ensuring their ML models are able to scale out πŸ“ˆ with heavy concurrent loads. I have also architected systems and processes that help engineers deploy code in Kubernetes at scale with minimal knowledge of the internals πŸ’’.

My hobbies include writing, cooking, building/burning down stuff and learning something new.

Here are a few things you might find interesting:

  • I might be a SDE by profession, but I'm also passionate about Flying Machines πŸ›©οΈ , Space travel πŸ›°, Scuba diving 🀿 and Cooking πŸ₯ž
  • πŸ“œ Advice: One-liner snippets of knowledge that I have collected over time.
  • β›‘ Work/Resume: Past workplaces and experiences
  • πŸ“· Photography: Looking through the lens
  • πŸ•” Uses: All the things I use, around the clock
  • πŸ“š Coursework: A list of courses I have picked up online
  • πŸ‘¨β€πŸ’» Source Code Visualization: A timeline of all the things I've gotten my hands dirty with (sourcerer link, site was taken down -- no longer has valid https)
