Karm Patel is a data scientist with 5 years of experience, currently working as Data Scientist - II at Meesho and pursuing a master’s at IISc Bangalore in Computer Science and Automation. He specializes in machine learning and Bayesian methods, contributing notable Jupyter notebooks and implementations (HMC, SGLD, variational information bottleneck, Bayesian neural nets) to the well-regarded probml/pyprobml repository and was a GSoC'22 contributor to TensorFlow. Proficient in Python and familiar with C/C++/Java/PHP, he blends production-oriented data science with research instincts developed through internships and academic projects. Comfortable shipping ML models in industry settings, he also emphasizes model diagnostics and visualization to make probabilistic models interpretable. An interesting detail: his open-source work shows a rare focus on both advanced samplers and practical plotting, signaling strengths in inference mechanics and communication of uncertainty.
