Rateshwari Shakthivel

I'm a final-year B.Tech student in Artificial Intelligence and Data Science at NMIMS, Navi Mumbai, with a strong interest in AI/ML, Generative AI, backend development, data engineering, full-stack development, and product-oriented problem-solving.

I enjoy building practical, scalable solutions that solve real-world problems. Over the past few years, I've gained hands-on experience with Python, SQL, Java, JavaScript, TypeScript, FastAPI, Next.js, PostgreSQL, Supabase, Firebase, and technologies involving LLMs, NLP, machine learning, and data analytics.

I've independently developed and deployed several projects, including NayePankh Saathi, an AI-powered NGO chatbot using the Gemini API; MemoryGraph AI, a document intelligence system using Ollama, ChromaDB, and vector embeddings; Queue Cure, a real-time clinic queue management platform; and Darukaa.Earth, an AI-powered biodiversity intelligence platform. I've also developed native Android applications such as ElderEase, a healthcare companion for senior citizens, and MeshRescue, a peer-to-peer communication application.

I'm particularly interested in research and experimentation. My academic capstone focuses on improving the reliability of IoT sensor data transmission using error-correction techniques and AI-based reconstruction. I've also worked with large datasets involving financial market analysis and airline delays, strengthening my skills in data preprocessing, SQL, Python, and analytical problem-solving.

Beyond technical development, I've been a Technical Core Member of Manthan Tech Club, where I've gained experience collaborating with others and contributing to technical initiatives.

My career goal is to grow into an engineer who can design, develop, and deploy intelligent, reliable systems while understanding their business impact. I'm especially interested in opportunities involving AI/ML engineering, Generative AI, backend engineering, data engineering, software development, and AI-driven products.

I value continuous learning, ownership, practical problem-solving, and working with teams that encourage innovation. I'm eager to contribute to meaningful products, take on challenging engineering problems, and develop my skills through real-world industry experience.
