Data Science Intern

Manthhan

6 mos · Jaipur, Rajasthan, India

At Manthhan Software, I work on developing and fine tuning document extraction and classification systems for supply chain workflows using machine learning, deep learning, NLP, and LLM based approaches. A big part of my role involves building RAG pipelines, experimenting with LLM fine tuning, and training models that can handle real world document variability. I work closely with AWS S3, Bedrock, and MinIO for storage and model integration, and help connect ML systems to backend services through REST APIs. I also contribute to backend codebases, use Docker for deployment, and orchestrate workflows using Prefect. Beyond modeling, I focus on making systems production ready by writing unit tests and integration tests, debugging edge cases, and ensuring the pipelines remain stable and reliable in live environments.
