I am a Software and AI Engineer with practical experience in designing predictive models, recommendation systems, and data-driven pipelines. I currently work at Himalaya Airlines PVT. LTD., bridging software engineering and data science through enterprise systems and operational data.

I focus on building scalable, production-minded solutions—performing basic data checks, validation, and reporting to support operations. I also developed and maintained internal tools to streamline airline operational workflows and improve efficiency.

My technical work includes integrating robust APIs and engineering scalable internal tools using strict production-level Python coding standards, testing, and documentation practices. I collaborate closely with teams to deliver solutions that are aligned with business needs.

On the data side, I’ve built machine learning projects such as a Movie Recommendation System (Python, Pandas, similarity metrics) and a Diabetes Prediction Model (Scikit-learn with EDA, scaling, model comparison). I’m especially interested in applying my skills to real-world challenges, with a growing focus on LLMs and RAG systems.
