What I'm looking for

I seek roles building production ML/AI systems where I can lead model development, productionization, and create measurable business impact in collaborative, growth-oriented teams.

I am a data scientist and AI engineer with four years of experience delivering production machine learning and agentic solutions that turn complex data into business value.

At IBM I developed an object-detection model for piping and instrumentation diagrams and engineered data pipelines and agent platforms (Agentrix) that showcased advanced agent capabilities and enabled partner lead generation.

At HDFC Life I built serverless document-classification pipelines, a face-recognition KYC application, and an intelligent multi-platform chatbot that handled over two million queries with 97% comprehension, while cutting costs and response times dramatically.

I specialize in deploying scalable, efficient ML systems using tools such as watsonx.ai, PyTorch, AWS Lambda, IBM Cloud, GCP, and container/orchestration platforms, and I focus on delivering measurable business impact through rigorous validation and production engineering.
