What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build and deploy production-grade AI systems, leading cross-functional delivery across machine learning, computer vision, LLMs, RAG, agentic AI, and cloud-native MLOps.

I've built and deployed production AI systems at NAVANC, including machine learning and computer vision models that achieve 85–90% confidence intervals at scale.

I led a five-person cross-functional team and built an AI Validation Layer on ECS/EKS that reduced report review time by about 89%. I also engineered secure data pipelines, APIs, and aggregation algorithms with real-time monitoring.

Previously at Gnani.ai, I built an omni-channel bot that reduced manual calls by 90% and led Project JARVIS to support more than 1.2 crore daily calls. At Wipro, I improved SQL query performance by 35% and automated workflows to reduce manual effort by 40%.

I'm focused on end-to-end AI delivery, from data processing and model training through cloud-native deployment, MLOps, RAG, and agentic AI workflows.
