About

I’m an AI engineer with a strong focus on applied research and real-world impact. My work spans fine-tuning large language models like LLaMA 3 using LoRA and quantization, building retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines, and deploying production-ready AI systems. During my internships at JioStar and Finseal, I worked on end-to-end NLP pipelines, time series forecasting, and sentiment-driven analytics. I also co-authored a research paper presented at the 2025 IEEE International Students’ Conference on a privacy-preserving, on-device health recommendation system powered by fine-tuned LLMs. I’m especially interested in generative AI, agent-based systems, and building intelligent applications that go beyond prototypes. I’m always open to collaborating on projects that push the boundaries of what AI can do in practice.
