What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build impactful AI, backend, cloud, or security systems where I can solve real engineering problems, work with modern developer tools, and continue growing through hands-on technical ownership.

I've built secure Java Spring Boot microservices for Stellantis' Vehicle Insurance System, delivering policy creation, search, and renewal workflows while raising unit test coverage from 3% to 90%.

My projects combine AI, distributed systems, and cloud deployment: CodeGuardian detects vulnerabilities in 0.43 seconds per scan, while VeriFi sustained 155.8 TPS with 12ms p95 latency. I've also built Gemini-powered developer workflow agents, deployed FastAPI services on Google Cloud, and earned second place in the SJSU AWS Cloudathon.

Machine Learning Intern

Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay

Sep 2023 - Mar 2024 (6 months)

Improved model selection accuracy by evaluating 3 AI models (PyTesseract, DocTr, Google Vision API) across multilingual scripts to identify the best-performing OCR solution. Accelerated deployment reliability by containerizing the application with Docker and documenting REST APIs with Swagger and Postman, enabling reproducible and consistent model iteration.
