AI engineer and data engineer building real-time regulatory intelligence and LLM-powered systems.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m an independent AI & Data Engineer focused on turning unstructured information into reliable, real-time insights. I architected a distributed FDA 510(k) intelligence platform processing 100,000+ medical device records using Cloud Run, Gemini 2.5 Flash, and Vertex AI Search for regulatory intelligence.
I build practical LLM applications end-to-end, from autonomous agent design to production-ready pipelines. I developed a Google ADK agent with a 2-tool search-and-retrieval architecture and integrated it into a Next.js frontend with real-time streaming via Server-Sent Events, then engineered an extraction pipeline that processes 20 PDFs per call with retry logic and categorized error handling.
I also enjoy shipping full-stack and automation systems—like a Docker/Nginx/Flask Twitter monitoring platform streaming live tweets via WebSockets and delivering LLM-generated daily reports via Telegram. My projects span web-based AI agents and hybrid MLLM-OCR engines, and I’ve shipped hackathon-winning MCP server suites for real-world workflows.
