What I'm looking for

I seek an entry-to-mid level role applying ML and embedded-systems expertise to real-world computer vision or systems problems, with mentorship, research opportunities, and collaborative culture.

I am an Electronics and Communication undergraduate specializing in deep learning, embedded systems, and computer vision, with hands-on experience building segmentation models, Conv1D NLP classifiers, and efficient image classifiers. I have implemented practical hardware-related algorithms for wireless power charging and developed end-to-end ML pipelines for agricultural and medical applications.

I contribute in team leadership roles across student organizations, mentor juniors in multimedia projects, and deliver reliable technical work through internships and research stints at a startup and a premier institute. I seek roles where I can apply ML and embedded-systems skills to real-world problems while continuing to grow in systems-level and research-driven projects.
