What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can lead empirical AI/ML evaluation, QA, and robustness testing—testing edge cases, improving reliability, and collaborating closely with teams. I want a hands-on environment that values measurement, documentation, and iteration.

I’m a final-year BCA (AI & ML) student with empirical AGI project experience, focused on evaluating model behavior, robustness, and edge cases on real-world data. I combine strong Python/C++ capabilities with hands-on workflow discipline to turn evaluations into actionable reliability improvements.

Through a professional AGI & Business Analysis program, I build applied AI workflows that emphasize measurement, external tool/API integration, and rigorous analysis of how systems behave under varied conditions. I’m especially motivated by turning “how the model responds” into testable evidence—so safety, reliability, and performance can improve.

In my work, I’ve designed structured tasks, prompts, and evaluation guidelines for AI Workflows, performing QA on accuracy, consistency, and edge-case handling in a red-teaming-like approach for safety and security use cases. I’ve also trained and evaluated multilingual (Hindi/English) audio AI systems using 10TB+ of data, transcribing, annotating, and improving label quality to strengthen robustness.

Beyond AI, I bring a detail-oriented, iterative mindset from design and analytics work—creating 20+ digital campaign visuals and using performance data to refine outcomes. I enjoy collaborating with cross-functional teams and documenting clearly, because I believe quality comes from both experimentation and communication.
