Building scalable AI solutions that solve real-world challenges

Passionate Machine Learning Engineer with expertise in developing intelligent systems, recommendation engines, and RAG-based pipelines. I specialize in cloud-native development, LLM integration, and creating data-driven solutions that make a meaningful impact.


I'm currently working at Brain Box Automations, where I design and implement cutting-edge AI systems. My journey in technology began with cybersecurity at FAST University, but I found my true calling in the intersection of artificial intelligence and real-world problem solving.


My expertise spans across multiple domains including recommendation systems, natural language processing, computer vision, and cloud infrastructure. I've had the privilege of contributing to open-source projects through Google Summer of Code and have been recognized for enhancing security in educational platforms.


When I'm not coding, I enjoy exploring the latest developments in AI research, contributing to the tech community, and experimenting with new AI tools. I believe in the power of technology to create positive change and am always excited to work on projects that have meaningful impact.
