PROJECTS

Agent-Driven Incident Prediction & Classification

Philips
Duration : 30-Sep-2024 - 31-Mar-2025

Designed and deployed ML models to predict and classify operational incidents from telemetry-like signals (metrics, errors, deployment events)Addressed extreme class imbalance (~3% base rate) using feature engineering, threshold tuning, and recall-optimized evaluationIntegrated predictions into automated response and alerting workflows, enabling early interventionDeployed as a containerized, monitored API with rollback supportImpact: Reduced reactive firefighting by enabling early warning signals and data-driven operational decisions.
