Yogendra Joshi here… from India (Pune)

Work:
Product Management and Strategy Director for Loyalty solutions at Oracle. Been in software for past 17 years. Hold three patents in that area too.
Not a “coder” but more of a “strategy” role. Have worked on integrating with ML solutions for Oracle’s Recommendation system (Oracle RTD) with my product in the past and now looking to do something interesting in the customer experience space with ML / Deep Learning.

Passion:
Also a passionate photographer and photography teacher for past 10 years (specialization in Insect Macro and High Speed Water Drop photography). So have to definitely bring AI/ML into that as well!

Education:
Last misfit is my educational qualification which is Chartered Accountant (CFA equivalent in the US). So need to explore some of the financials / accounting use cases for AI/ML too.

Been learning ML/AI for past year or so. Have completed the ML Stanford certification (Andrew Ng) and had reviewed all the fast.ai course videos in 2018 and now starting to actually do the hands.

Social
I volunteer for an orphanage for mentally retarded children. I am exploring to see if we can do early-detection of the fits they suffer by exploiting AI/ML

Language
Lastly, would love to collaborate with anyone who is trying to work in Marathi language translations.
