I’m looking to build reliable AI and backend products where I can own meaningful parts of the system end to end, from model or agent logic through APIs, evaluation, deployment, observability, and performance.

AI/ML Software Engineer building reliable Python backends, production ML systems, and agentic AI applications.
What I'm looking for
I’m an AI/ML Software Engineer with 2+ years of experience building production ML systems, Python backend services, and AI applications across healthcare and agentic systems.
At Charles River Medical Center, I built and validated TensorFlow models on noisy clinical data, reaching 92% validation accuracy, and optimized NVIDIA Jetson inference to improve throughput by 35%. At L.V. Prasad Eye Institute, I worked on containerized FastAPI inference services, PostgreSQL logging, AWS infrastructure, and CI/CD, including systems running at sub-150 ms latency.
More recently, I built PlanPilot independently, an agentic AI and RAG planning system using Python, FastAPI, LangGraph, OpenAI APIs, ChromaDB, structured outputs, validation guardrails, tracing, and a 50-test pytest suite.
I’m especially interested in remote roles across Applied AI, AI Engineering, Machine Learning, backend AI systems, and production GenAI where I can own real systems end to end and work on reliability, evaluation, deployment, and product impact.
