What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build end-to-end production AI systems in machine learning, computer vision, generative AI, and RAG, while growing through hands-on engineering, research, and deployment work.

I've built end-to-end AI systems spanning cloud motion forecasting, enterprise RAG, and intelligent traffic operations. My diffusion-based cloud prediction model improved MAE by 57% over persistence baselines and was deployed on AWS EC2 with Docker and Gradio.

I've also developed an enterprise knowledge assistant with FAISS, ChromaDB, LangChain, FastAPI, and Streamlit, improving retrieval precision by 88%. My IEEE ICONAT 2026 accepted work fine-tuned YOLOv11 for Indian traffic detection, achieved 84.2% mAP@0.5 at 28 FPS, and reduced average vehicle wait time by 35% through occupancy-aware signal scheduling.
