What I'm looking for

I seek an AI/ML role where I can apply end-to-end ML pipeline and medical imaging experience, work on meaningful research or product problems, and grow with mentorship and collaborative teams.

I am a final-year B.Tech student specializing in Computer Science with an emphasis on AI and Machine Learning, experienced in building end-to-end ML pipelines for classification and forecasting tasks. I have hands-on experience in data cleaning, feature engineering, model selection, hyperparameter tuning, and prototype deployment.

I have fine-tuned deep learning models including CNNs and Vision Transformers for medical image classification, evaluated models with cross-validation, ROC/PR curves, and confusion matrices, and containerized experiments with Docker while maintaining reproducible notebooks and Git version control.

My projects include stock market forecasting using ensemble models, a PPG-based heart rate monitoring system with Arduino and signal processing in Python, and a capstone Leukemia classification repo demonstrating transfer learning and rigorous validation. I enjoy mentoring peers and helping teams adopt best practices in ML and collaborative development.
