Sankalp Gilda
I am a machine learning researcher and software developer specializing in time series analysis and constrained optimization. After obtaining my Ph.D. in Astronomy in 2021, I transitioned to industry as an MLE at a V2X SaaS startup. Since then, I've co-founded a consulting firm and am currently enhancing scheduling logistics for an innovative startup.
As an advocate for open-source software, I created tsbootstrap, the first Python library dedicated to time series bootstrapping. I'm actively developing additional libraries focusing on time series analysis and streamlining end-to-end machine learning for astronomers. I thrive on engaging in conferences and workshops within the scientific computing community.
When I'm not immersed in code or data, you'll find me at the gym lifting weights or embracing the thrill of skydiving. I'm always eager to discuss technology, science, or extreme sports – feel free to connect with me during the conference!
