What I'm looking for

I’m looking for roles where I can build scalable backend systems and apply ML/RAG to solve real business problems. I want ownership—from data pipelines to production-ready deployment—using clean APIs, Docker, and rapid iteration in an agile team.

I’m a Graduate Engineer Trainee who builds practical, production-oriented systems—especially document workflows and AI-powered search. At Systra, I developed a Document Management System for railway commissioning documents, reducing retrieval time by ∼60% and presenting the platform to government stakeholders to secure production approval.

I also focused on automation and intelligent retrieval: I built Python-based ingestion and metadata extraction pipelines, and created a LangChain-based RAG PoC for context-aware enterprise document search. To make delivery reliable, I containerized services with Docker, streamlining deployment and maintenance workflows.

Earlier, as an SDE-Intern, I implemented user-facing features and Google reCAPTCHA, reducing fake registrations by ∼90%, and built a MERN web app with secure JWT authentication plus scalable RESTful APIs. I’ve also worked on predictive maintenance using Python and operational data (reducing unscheduled downtime by ∼33%) and delivered a Full-Stack FoodCorps platform that improved user experience by 35% through performance and accessibility testing.
