About me

Hello, I'm Aasish Tammana, an AI and data analytics specialist with a Master's in Computer Science (Robotics - Artificial Intelligence) from Arizona State University, completed in May 2024 with a GPA of 4.00/4.00. My expertise spans artificial intelligence, automation, and data analytics, with deep experience in building custom AI tools, implementing LLMs for automation, and leveraging Python libraries such as Pandas, NumPy, Scikit-learn, and OpenAI API to create intelligent solutions.

My recent work centers on AI at Altium (acquired by Renesas in 2024), where I build custom tools for component classification, datasheet parsing, and knowledge‑base generation as part of the Product Foundry team. In the BI team, I performed TAM analysis and developed end‑to‑end automation systems. I also helped drive academic partnerships and institutional adoption (40+ colleges), integrating Altium into curricula and expanding the company’s footprint with enduring commercial impact. Earlier at Deloitte, I focused on data analytics—developing SQL/Python pipelines and Power BI reporting to deliver decision‑ready insights.

As a volunteer at ChemCopilot, I contributed to building AI-powered tooling for chemical formulation and sustainability analytics, aligning with their PLM-LIMS-ERP integrated platform. I worked on Copilots and automation pipelines to help teams calculate Scope emissions, analyze BOM data, and validate regulatory constraints, enabling traceable, compliant, and greener product development. My focus areas included Python, LLMs, vector search, and data modeling to support formulation decisions across cost, toxicity, and carbon footprint.

During my time at Arizona State University, I engaged in critical research under Professor Pitu Mirchandani at the DHS Center for Accelerating Operational Efficiency. My work focused on data visualization and Statistical Inference in the context of homeland security operations, particularly analyzing the COVID-19 pandemic's impact through spatial-temporal data analysis. This research enhanced my expertise in data analytics within public health domains.

I possess a robust skill set that includes expertise in AI tool development, LLM integration, OpenAI API, LangChain, CNN-based detection, automation pipelines, and knowledge base generation, alongside proficiency in data tools like Snowflake SQL, Azure Databricks, Microsoft Power BI, Tableau, AWS S3, and programming languages such as Python, C, and SQL. In addition to my AI and data-centric endeavors, I actively engage in robotics projects, utilizing my skills in hardware and software integration to develop and deploy complex systems that combine sensors, actuators, and controllers. I strive to create seamless interactions between the physical and digital worlds.

When I'm not immersed in technology, I enjoy exploring the outdoors, engaging in creative projects, and socializing. Thank you for taking the time to delve into my professional journey. I am eager to explore new challenges and opportunities where I can bring my AI, automation, and data analytics expertise to bear on meaningful projects. Should you have any questions or wish to discuss potential collaborations, I am more than open to conversations. Let's connect and explore how we can drive innovation and excellence!
