What I'm looking for

I’m looking to build production-grade GenAI systems—LLM post-training, RAG, and evaluation/MLOps—while shipping scalable full-stack features. I work best in teams that value high-impact experimentation, ownership, and fast iteration.

I’m a Software Engineer with hands-on production experience in enterprise-grade AI/ML systems, LLM post-training pipelines, and scalable full-stack applications. I’ve worked across multimodal GenAI pipelines and RAG workflows, and I enjoy turning complex experiments into reliable systems under real constraints.

At Ethara AI, I was selected in the top 25 of 1,200+ applicants and engineered multimodal GenAI pipelines that elevated output quality by 30% while unifying 5+ enterprise repositories into a single evaluation platform. Through LLM post-training and structured human-feedback loops, I cut manual prompt iteration by 40% and slashed comparative analysis time by 50%, and I’ve delivered MLOps debugging and performance optimization across 10+ agile sprint cycles. I also bring a builder’s mindset from leading teams as a Top 5 Finalist at Smart India Hackathon and contributing to open-source via merged PRs.
