What I'm looking for

I seek roles applying Kannada NLP and conversational AI expertise in collaborative teams, with opportunities for creative contribution, impact on product usability, and professional growth.

I am a versatile professional combining 1.5 years of hands-on experience training Kannada conversational AI models with a long history as an author, blogger, and screenwriter. I have developed and fine-tuned datasets, collaborated with engineers and linguists, analyzed user feedback to improve performance, and contributed to multiple i18n and safety-focused chatbot projects.

Alongside my AI work, I bring nearly a decade of corporate IT procurement experience—managing end-to-end procurement, vendor negotiations, RFP preparation, and supplier relationships—and a prolific creative portfolio with five published books and screenplay credits. I seek roles that let me apply NLP and conversational AI expertise while leveraging my storytelling and procurement background to deliver measurable impact.
