I build Applied AI systems, and ship production software for clients. Completed a degree across NIT Nagaland (B.Tech, EEE) and currently completing IIT Madras (BS, Data Science & Applications). Open to Forward Deployed Engineering, Solutions Engineering, and Applied AI/ML roles.

About
Arjun Sasikumar

I'm an Electrical & Electronics Engineering graduate from NIT Nagaland (CGPA 9.24/10), concurrently completing a BS in Data Science & Applications at IIT Madras. My work sits at the intersection of applied AI/ML and real electrical, mechanical, and industrial systems.

I've built anomaly-detection models for ECG signals and motor bearings, and shipped industrial process-optimization tools as an Advanced Solutions Engineering intern at Yokogawa in Abu Dhabi. I have published my works in IEEE and Springer venues, and I build and ship production software as an independent consultant.

Professional Experience
Yokogawa, Advanced Solutions & Optimization Dept., Abu Dhabi, UAE 2025 – 2026
Advanced Solutions Engineering Intern
  • Designed and deployed Python-based automation for oil & gas well-test accept/reject analysis, integrating rule-based logic, data-quality checks, time-series visualization, and automated reporting to reduce manual engineering review and improve decision consistency.
  • Contributed to AI-driven ethane steam-cracking optimization under the Borouge AI Optimizer initiative, building conversion-prediction models and severity-aware multivariate optimization frameworks for safe Steam-to-Hydrocarbon (S/H) ratio selection.
  • Developed and evaluated inferential soft-sensor models for refinery distillation (naphtha, kerosene, gas oil) on the ENOC project, applying Linear Regression, PCR, and PLS with residual diagnostics to estimate flash point from live process data.

Vendora — Offline-First Billing & Inventory Management Platform

Kotlin · Jetpack Compose · Android

Built an Android app for local shops to manage products, inventory and billing, with barcode scanning and employee accounts, designed to work even without an internet connection. Developed the system end to end, including the app, local database, authentication, cloud backup and synchronization.

Tech: Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, Room, Supabase

Synapse: RAG-Based AI Health Chatbot

Python · FastAPI · LangChain

Retrieval-Augmented Generation over a FAISS vector store, grounding an LLM (Llama-2-7B) in trusted medical sources such as the Gale Encyclopedia of Medicine, WHO, and OpenMed. Added symptom-based doctor recommendations and medication/appointment reminders. Response accuracy climbed from a 65% baseline to 91%, and retrieval latency dropped from ~500ms to under 200ms, 2.5x faster than the non-RAG baseline.

Vimra: AI-Assisted Course Generation Platform

Next.js · MongoDB · OpenAI

A SaaS platform for educators and content creators to generate, manage, and monetize course content, integrating the OpenAI API for content generation and Stripe for payments.

Research & Applied AI: Published Papers

Edge-Efficient Autoencoder Framework for ECG Arrhythmia Detection

Biomedical · ECG

A lightweight unsupervised anomaly-detection framework for real-time arrhythmia detection on edge and wearable devices, requiring no labelled pathological data. Evaluated Flat VAE and LSTM-VAE architectures, then extended into a shallow Conv1D autoencoder with threshold-based anomaly detection for edge deployment.

Best Paper Award, IEEE CCPIS 2025 (co-authored with Dr. D. Ganga)

AI-Based Bearing Fault Diagnosis Using Vibration Signals

Mechanical · Vibration

Bearing fault-diagnosis frameworks for electrical machines, progressing from classical ML and VAE-based approaches to 1D-CNN architectures with latent-space anomaly scoring. Includes class-conditional trust and anomaly-scoring methods for confidence quantification under uncertain operating conditions.

Published at VETOMAC 2025, IIT Guwahati (Springer Proceedings), 2 papers

PPE Compliance Detection for Construction Sites (“Eagle Eyes”)

Computer Vision · Safety

A YOLO-based computer-vision system monitoring PPE compliance (helmet, vest) on construction sites in real time. Exported and benchmarked across ONNX, TensorFlow Lite, and TensorFlow.js for CPU, edge/mobile, and browser-based deployment respectively.

Published as a Springer LNCS book chapter, PREMI 2025, IIT Delhi

Multi-Modal Edge Data Processing for a Real-Time Landslide Early-Warning System

Environmental · Edge Computing

Co-authored research on processing multi-modal sensor data directly at the edge to support real-time landslide early-warning alerts.
