Hi, I’m Yogita Bisht.

I build machine learning models and the data pipelines that power them; focusing on scalable cloud architecture, and how systems actually hold up under real-world usage.

01Transition story

From vehicle diagnostics to data science.

With a foundation in computer science and data engineering, my early work focused on building resilient backend architectures, scalable data pipelines, and high-reliability systems. At Mercedes-Benz R&D, I applied these core principles to engineer production data pipelines for high-volume vehicle data.

I expanded into data science during my Master’s at Northeastern, bridging software engineering with modern AI to build intelligent, end-to-end ML systems. During my time there, I worked as a research assistant training vision models for Skin Cancer detection alongside developing other ML systems.
