Summary
Gaurav Raj is a Senior Software Engineer and Data Scientist with 15 years’ experience building end-to-end AI and NLP solutions for public health, social sector, and government analytics. He has delivered production-grade pipelines—from TrOCR-based handwritten Hindi OCR and multilingual speech-to-text to BERT and LangChain-powered document summarization—significantly reducing manual effort and processing time in large-scale programs. His work at Population Council combined statistical forecasting, PySpark audio pipelines, and practical tooling (PyQT5/SQLAlchemy apps) to inform policy decisions and save hundreds of analyst-hours. Comfortable across Python, PyTorch, Hugging Face, FastAPI, and AWS, he blends research-grade models with pragmatic engineering for deployable systems. Notably, his projects emphasize cost and time efficiency (transcription costs cut ~90%, report processing time cut ~70%)—reflecting a knack for squeezing measurable impact from messy, real-world data.
