What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can build accessible, research-grade UI systems and ship AI features (speech-to-text and RAG) with clean data pipelines, strong mentorship, and room to grow from engineering foundations to applied ML impact.

I’m a Systems & UI Engineer at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), where I design and develop responsive user interfaces for research-grade systems—prioritizing usability and accessibility across complex workflows. I also build and maintain structured data pipelines and backend integrations to support robust data management and retrieval.

Earlier, as a Summer Intern at CEMILAC (DRDO), I integrated LLMs with OpenAI Whisper to deliver end-to-end speech-to-text transcription and intelligent summarization. I designed and implemented Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) workflows to improve contextual information retrieval, and I developed interactive PyQt applications that make AI-based tools easier to test and deploy.
