What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can build and deploy real-world AI—computer vision, LLM/RAG systems, and human-centered robotics—on edge/embedded platforms, and grow into end-to-end ownership with strong team collaboration.

I’m an AI-focused BSc Computing with A.I. graduate with a track record of research and shipped prototypes. I co-authored an IEEE RO-MAN paper on a socially assistive “Sister Robot” and completed an AI-powered elderly companion thesis featuring STT, TTS, and emotional intelligence.

Right now, I’m developing AI models for UAV systems—human counting, YOLO-based drone detection, and camera tracking—while designing real-time image/video analytics for embedded and microcontroller environments. Previously, I built a RAG + LLM chatbot architecture with STT/TTS and MongoDB integration, and I helped lead product development as a co-founder, including an ADB-funded automated drainage bot and the Sarathi Robot governance platform.
