AI/ML engineer and backend developer turning raw data into scalable APIs and data-driven insights.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Computer Science student building AI & data-driven applications focused on backend development and data engineering. I turn raw data into insights by creating optimized workflows and scalable APIs that actually ship.
As an AI/ML engineer at LimeoX, I develop and train ML/DL models using algorithms like Logistic Regression, KNN, SVM, Random Forest, and clustering, then evaluate with Accuracy/Precision/Recall/F1 and ROC-AUC. I also deploy models through REST APIs using Flask and FastAPI, while working with Pandas/NumPy for preprocessing, feature engineering, and EDA.
I’ve also contributed through leadership and community-building: I serve on the Board of Directors at Afrium and previously as a Founding Campus Ambassador. In parallel, I’ve built multiple open-source and hackathon projects (including a Flask-based AI note-taker with Gemini translation), and I’m continuously sharpening my backend, ML, and data skills to deliver high-performance software.
