Hi, I'm

Pulak Saha

Data Scientist & Machine Learning Engineer

MSc Data Science graduate (Distinction, University of Essex) specialising in predictive modelling and multimodal deep learning for health and sensor-driven domains. I design end-to-end ML pipelines — from signal preprocessing and feature engineering through model benchmarking to REST API deployment — with a track record of beating baselines across time-series forecasting, biosignal classification, and computer vision. Proficient in Python, TensorFlow, PyTorch, and Scikit-learn, based in Colchester, UK.
