About me

Introduction#

Hey there! I am Roudranil. Professionally, I work as a Machine Learning Scientist in the Advertising AI team at Expedia Group. I am based out of Bangalore currently (starting march 2026). Prior to that, I worked as a Data Scientist in Kantar’s Data Science and Innovation Team, based out of Chennai (from 2024 to 2026). I did my masters in Data Science from Chennai Mathematical Institute and bachelors in math from St. Xavier’s College, Kolkata.

I take a keen interest in the math behind ML, engineering philosophies, linux, and programming in general. A bit of gaming too at times.

Besides my professional interests, I’m a musician and have been playing the mandolin 2018, specializing in Bengali folk music and retro songs. I also play the banjo and the melodica. As an open-source enthusiast and hobbyist Linux user, I enjoy tinkering with my Linux rice. Click here to view all my nerdy stuff (WIP!).
