My current role enables me to directly hit the bottom line with respect to enabling smart manufacturing. From studying data to deriving deep insights and predictions and discussing and brainstorming with global teams, I am becoming a part of the process where Micron's process and design capabilities are taken a notch further. There is no further motivation than knowing that your skills as a data science engineer is being put to the best use by the organization to make its products more capable and future ready. When your accountability is fixed, then you know that you have become a key cog in the wheel of the organization's motion towards success. Another dimension to the work culture at Micron is the tremendous focus on developing a people-centric culture. Be it giving extra ordinary support for the employees during covid, or taking some time off due to personal emergencies, or recognizing and promoting talent, or celebrating small events, Micron does not leave a stone unturned in making employees feel at home. I always felt that I am part of a very big global family, with very strong support systems to ensure "People - First"

Within a span of 7 months into Micron, I was able to successfully build and deploy successful AI systems that increased manufacturing efficiency manifold. The AI systems enabled engineers at Micron to automate defect identification in images of the manufactured products. These defects would have been otherwise very difficult to detect and analyze manually. The AI systems are highly accurate and resulted in saving hundreds of manhours for key measurements and analysis. What I am most proud about is the fact that I fully utilized the opportunities that was provided to me to make an impact on Micron's core businesses, within a short span of time. The realization that I am a part of solutions that drive further AI, smart computing and intelligent transport systems is one of the most motivating factors for me at Micron.
