What I'm looking for

I seek early-career AI/ML roles where I can build and deploy production-ready models, work on CV/NLP projects, collaborate cross-functionally, and gain hands-on MLOps experience while driving real-world impact.

I am an Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning student at GITAM University who builds data-driven solutions for real-world problems. I focus on practical model development, evaluation, and deployment across computer vision and NLP applications.

During a remote internship with Microsoft (Edunet Foundation) I developed an AI system to predict job attributes like salary and role from user skills and experience, building and evaluating models such as XGBoost and Random Forest and delivering real-time job recommendations.

I have built accessibility and agriculture projects including VisualAid (Flask backend with PyTorch and Transformers to generate audio captions) and a rose crop disease detector using VGG16 for real-time diagnosis and care suggestions. I was runner-up at BioMed Bharat 2024 and hold certifications in image captioning, deep learning, and data analytics.
