I build production-grade AI systems — LLM & RAG pipelines, computer-vision models, and cloud-native backends. From architecture to deployment, end to end.

01About

I'm an Applied AI & Cloud Engineer working at the intersection of artificial intelligence, backend engineering, and cloud infrastructure. My work spans production LLM systems and real-time computer vision.

At Infosys BPM, I build enterprise GenAI applications — RAG pipelines, multilingual conversational AI, and scalable FastAPI services on Azure. Previously at DRDO-CABS, I built real-time object-detection models for defence aerial surveillance.

I hold an M.Tech in AI & Data Science and I'm driven by taking systems from problem definition through to deployment, monitoring, and optimization — with a growing focus on research and edge AI.

02Experience
AI Engineer — Cloud & Applied AI
Infosys BPM Ltd.
Jul 2025 — Present
  • Built production LLM applications (conversational AI, ticket intelligence, smart email assistant) with Azure OpenAI & FastAPI, serving 5,000+ daily users.
  • Developed RAG pipelines with prompt orchestration across 8+ languages for grounded, context-aware responses.
  • Architected FastAPI microservices with JWT auth & PostgreSQL, handling 50K+ requests/day at <200ms latency.
  • Automated ticket triage via ServiceNow/Enate integration (−40% manual effort); provisioned Azure + Terraform infra (−60% setup time).
AI & Machine Learning Intern
DRDO — Centre for Airborne Systems (CABS)
Jan 2025 — Apr 2025
  • Built real-time object-detection pipelines (YOLOv5/v8, Faster R-CNN in PyTorch) for defence aerial surveillance — 92%+ detection accuracy.
  • Optimized inference for edge deployment (ONNX, quantization), reducing latency by 35%. One of few M.Tech students selected for this classified internship.
Advanced Data Analytics Intern
GDS — AICTE
Feb 2024 — Apr 2024
  • Performed exploratory data analysis on healthcare datasets; built interactive Power BI dashboards for data-driven decisions.
