Arch Desai
Applied Data Scientist

Hello! Welcome to my digital corner of the world!
My name is Arch, and I am passionate about creating data-driven solutions that bring tangible value. With over 6 years of experience in machine learning and software development, I have a strong foundation through a MS in industrial engineering and a BS in mechanical engineering. Although My journey has largely been self-directed, motivated by an endless curiosity and a drive to solve complex data challenges.
I am currently a Staff Data Scientist at Trase Systems, a pre-seed startup, where I am scoping and implementing LLM-based workflow opportunities across various industries with a focus on building scalable platforms that leverage LLMs and RAG to automate and address complex problems. Previously, I worked on creating AI-driven assistants for the renewable energy sector and developed end-to-end ML models, scalable ETL pipelines, external APIs, and KPIs—all geared toward a sustainable future.
I am also involved in diverse projects across different industries. Take a look at my portfolio to see my projects, skills, certifications, and achievements.
Currently based in Boston, MA, I spend my free time reading, hiking, traveling, and exploring new music genres over a cup of tea. If you’d like to connect or chat about anything from tech to travel, feel free to reach out. Thank you for visiting!
