What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can apply LLM post-training and evaluation (RLHF/RLAIF), prompt engineering, and structured QA/testing to improve AI quality and reliability, with clear rubrics, collaborative feedback, and strong documentation practices.

I'm an Electronics and Communication Engineering graduate who enjoys turning ideas into practical solutions through technology. Over the past few years, I've worked on projects involving Python, Flask, SQL, and embedded systems, building everything from web applications to hardware-integrated solutions.

I enjoy solving problems, learning new tools, and taking on challenges that help me grow as a developer. Through internships, projects, and continuous learning, I've developed skills in software development, testing, debugging, and technical documentation.

Currently, I'm looking for opportunities in software engineering, Python development, and related technology roles where I can contribute, learn from experienced teams, and build products that make a real impact.
