What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead development of production ML/vision systems, optimize edge inference and ML‑ops, work cross-functionally, and deliver measurable business impact.

I am a Machine Learning and Computer Vision Engineer with close to 5 years of experience building and shipping high-performance systems from concept to production, specializing in real-time image analysis, object detection, OCR and edge deployment.

I've led cross-functional teams and delivered scalable solutions across industrial and healthcare domains — deploying real-time worker-safety monitoring, QA measurement systems, wagon tare validation, and smartphone-based diagnostic pipelines that processed hundreds of thousands of tests and video frames with high accuracy.

I design and productionize robust ML/Ops pipelines, optimize models for low-latency edge inference, and define observability and deployment standards that improve stability and reduce incident response time; I hold a B.Tech (Hons) in Computer Science with a machine learning minor and an issued patent for fluid sample analysis.
