What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that foster innovation and collaboration, where I can apply my AI/ML skills to solve real-world problems and contribute to impactful projects.

I am currently pursuing a B.Tech in Information Technology at ABV-IIITM Gwalior, where I have maintained a CGPA of 7.96. My academic journey has been complemented by hands-on experience in AI and machine learning, particularly through my role as a Research Intern at IIT Mandi. Here, I contribute to the development of an AI-powered lifestyle management system and prototype IoT-based human activity recognition systems. My work involves building data acquisition pipelines and integrating wearable sensor data for personalized health insights.

In addition to my research, I have gained practical experience as an AI/ML Developer Intern at Coding Pro, where I developed an advanced chatbot utilizing NLP for intelligent interactions. I successfully implemented a RetrievalQA system, enhancing user satisfaction through precise question-answering. My projects, such as LifeScan and Cartiva, showcase my ability to design and deploy full-stack applications and deep learning models, achieving impressive accuracy and performance metrics.
