What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role building scalable backend and AI-driven systems, with opportunities for mentorship, real-world impact, and growth in ML engineering and data products.

I am a Computer Science graduate with hands-on backend development and AI/ML experience, building RESTful APIs with Django/DRF, managing PostgreSQL/SQLite databases, and integrating models for real-time applications. I have developed projects such as a RAG PDF-answerable chatbot, an e-commerce web app with Power BI analytics, and a collaborative-filtering recommendation system.

I have industry experience as a Backend Developer and AI Research Intern where I optimized APIs, designed curriculum and NLP-driven features, and contributed to scalable AI module integration. I am passionate about creating intelligent, data-driven systems that are reliable, maintainable, and user-focused.
