Data scientist and machine learning engineer with expertise in reinforcement learning, autonomous systems, and scalable AI solutions. Transforming complex data into actionable insights.
About Me
Data Scientist & Machine Learning Engineer
Hi, I'm Pathik Patel. I'm a data scientist and machine learning engineer with a recent MS in Computer Science from UTA. My thesis focused on modeling trust and deception in multi-agent reinforcement learning using a Werewolf game simulation. Through that work, I explored how agents learn, adapt, and interact in uncertain environments.
Beyond research, I've built autonomous UGVs, created end-to-end ETL pipelines, and developed AI-driven tools for real-world use. I enjoy working on systems that combine data, intelligence, and automation to solve complex problems.
My interests lie at the intersection of theory and application. Whether it’s reinforcement learning, robotics, or building scalable AI systems, I’m always eager to dive into new challenges and build solutions that make an impact.
Outside of tech, I’m an automobile enthusiast. I love learning about car design, engineering, and performance tuning. Working on cars or following automotive innovation gives me a different kind of problem-solving joy and keeps my curiosity alive beyond the screen.
