What I'm looking for

I am seeking an AI/ML role applying computer vision and NLP to real-world problems, with teams that prioritize responsible, fair AI, research opportunities, cloud deployment, and mentorship for career growth.

I am an AI/ML engineer and data scientist with an M.Tech in Artificial Intelligence and Decision Science, focused on translating research into deployable systems. My work centers on practical, responsible AI that delivers measurable improvements.

In faculty-mentored research I co-developed a Real-ESRGAN-ViT model for drone-based plant disease detection, achieving 92% accuracy and a 91% F1-score; this work led to a co-authored IEEE Access publication. I also built a ViT-based diagnostic tool with GPT-2 generated reports that achieved 95% accuracy and a 94% F1-score. I mitigated algorithmic bias in loan-approval models using a hybrid Bayesian/ML approach that balanced 89% predictive accuracy with improved fairness metrics.

I am skilled in Python, PyTorch, TensorFlow, GCP/Vertex AI, and generative and transformer models, and I hold certifications in Generative AI and Machine Learning. I seek roles where I can lead applied research and production ML work that is fair by design.
