What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can build scalable backend services and apply AI/ML to real problems. I want to work on NLP and computer-vision systems, collaborate in fast-paced teams, and grow into end-to-end ownership.

I’m a software engineer and backend developer with a strong AI/ML foundation, building modular services with REST APIs and production-minded code structure. I enjoy turning complex datasets into reliable pipelines—whether it’s NLP workflows, classification systems, or computer-vision features.

In projects like WordWhiz, I designed a modular Flask backend and fine-tuned transformer-based models to improve grammatical accuracy and readability. I also built edge AI solutions such as SmartLens Alert (Raspberry Pi + OpenCV) for real-time visitor detection, and a CNN-based Leaf Disease Detector that achieved 95% classification accuracy on test data.
