I am a B.Tech Computer Science graduate with a minor in Computational Intelligence, focused on applying AI and data engineering to real-world problems. I design and optimize data pipelines, implement ML/LLM-driven search, and build production-ready applications across cloud and edge environments.

At ZS Associates I improved internal asset search relevance by 300% through OpenSearch reindexing and LLM-based query expansion using AWS Bedrock, and I architected Databricks pipelines serving 8+ downstream reporting systems. In internships and academic projects I consolidated multi-source medical data into a 40-entity star schema and built clinical decision-support mobile apps used in wards.

I also contribute to robotics and autonomy projects — deploying planning and CV systems that placed at SUAS and IGVC — and maintain open-source projects spanning IPC middleware, content pipelines, and realistic text-to-handwriting tooling. I seek roles where I can combine cloud, data engineering, and applied AI to deliver measurable impact.
