Background

The story so far

I am Er. Maharshi Shukla, a Data Scientist and AI Engineer based in Ahmedabad, India. With a background in Electrical Engineering and over 5 years of professional experience across operations, sales, and team leadership, I bring a perspective to data problems grounded in real-world constraints and business outcomes, not just technical correctness.

I completed the Data Scientist & AI Engineering program at Datamites (Nov 2025 – Jun 2026) and hold a course-completion certification as an AI Engineer. My IABAC and NASSCOM certification exams are scheduled once my current client project wraps up.

I'm currently a Data Science & AI Engineering Intern at Rubixe, where I own the full lifecycle of capstone ML projects, two of which have already been evaluated with Grade A. Before this, as Team Leader at TTEC India Pvt. Ltd., I turned a team ranked second-last on CSAT into the #1-ranked team in our branch, using the same instincts I now apply to modelling: read the data, form a hypothesis, act, and measure the result.

Beyond formal projects, I've also become genuinely skilled at directing AI systems to get precise, intentional results, using tools like Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, and Antigravity to build working software and creative work from a plain-language description of what I want.

Work

Where I've made an impact

Every role below is framed the way I approach data: what was the problem, what did I do, what changed.

Data Science & AI Engineering Intern CURRENT Jun 2026 – Present · Rubixe

Own the data science lifecycle (ingestion, EDA, feature engineering, modelling, evaluation) across capstone projects, with decision-making authority over model selection and evaluation criteria.
Built a Random Forest classifier on accelerometer time-series data to distinguish walking from running, reaching 99.14% accuracy; evaluated with Grade A.
Engineered and tuned a Random Forest regression pipeline (GridSearchCV, outlier treatment, categorical encoding) to predict salaries across Texas regions, achieving 93% accuracy; evaluated with Grade A.
Currently finalising a third capstone project (CNN-based handwritten digit recognition) with a fourth in scoping; selected to independently own an upcoming client project.

TTEC India Pvt. Ltd. Feb 2024 – Dec 2025

Team Leader (Promoted from Sales Executive) Mar 2025 – Dec 2025

Promoted to lead a ~15-member team on a customer-satisfaction LOB serving clients worldwide; took ownership of a team ranked second-last on CSAT, the LOB's top KPI.
Through data-driven coaching, QA audits, and Power BI/Tableau trend analysis, drove the team to the #1 CSAT ranking within the Ahmedabad branch for our client LOB (achieved for one month); used Excel-based KPI analysis and PowerPoint reporting to guide staffing and strategy.
Maintained 0% team attrition through team-bonding and employee-engagement initiatives that led members to voluntarily continue with the team.

Sales Executive Feb 2024 – Mar 2025

Managed the end-to-end sales pipeline for a separate product-sales LOB serving US, Canada, and Mexico customers: lead qualification, quoting, upselling, closure via CRM; consistently met and, in multiple months, exceeded targets, earning top-tier incentives.

Office Executive Mar 2022 – Dec 2023 · MAS Solutions (UK Fire Systems support division)

Corrective Maintenance (Ahmedabad-based): Managed urgent UK client email escalations for fire-safety alerts and false-alarm triggers, independently deciding and directing field-engineer dispatch by coordinating with UK staff engineers.
Audits & Certification: Audited completed engineer work and issued compliance certifications using Tableau, helping the team sustain a 99%+ error-free KPI across two years and supporting client contract renewals.
Diary Management (final role): Took full ownership of engineer diary scheduling, previously a 4-person function, and restructured it from one-day-ahead to a full month planned in advance, recognised by the country director.

Design & Production Engineer Mar 2019 – Mar 2022 · Technotherm Automation

Owned control panel design and production for industrial blower and burner machinery: created AutoCAD wiring diagrams and determined panel/box sizing based on load calculations and client customisation, then supervised factory teams through build execution and issue resolution.
