About

I'm a software engineer experienced in building enterprise-grade applications, with proven experience delivering real-time ML systems, recommendation engines and RAG-based pipelines. I'm adept in cloud-native development, LLM integration and data-centric problem solving, and passionate about building scalable AI systems that solve real-world challenges.

I'm currently at Avirso, building AI and backend systems for fintech and enterprise finance. Before that I was a machine learning engineer at Brain Box Automations. My journey in technology began with cybersecurity at FAST University, but I found my true calling at the intersection of artificial intelligence and real-world problem solving.

My work spans recommendation systems, natural language processing, computer vision and cloud infrastructure. I've contributed to open source through Google Summer of Code and been recognized for enhancing security in educational platforms.

When I'm not coding, I explore the latest developments in AI research, contribute to the tech community and experiment with new AI tools. I believe in the power of technology to create positive change, and I'm always excited to work on projects with meaningful impact.
