What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a full-time AI/ML Engineer role to build production Generative AI and RAG systems. I want to work on scalable ML deployment, strong API integrations, and measurable improvements in real-world AI features.

I’m a final-year B.Tech student with hands-on experience building production AI systems through three internships. I’ve engineered TTS/STT pipelines and Conversational AI features for sports media applications, while also fine-tuning LLMs and deploying multiple AI solutions.

I’m especially focused on Generative AI and RAG systems—integrating models via Prompt engineering and REST APIs to ship real user-facing capabilities. In remote work, I built a production TTS/STT pipeline using ElevenLabs and Twilio APIs, processing about 50 audio clips daily for real-time voice interaction.

I enjoy turning research-style ideas into scalable deployments, optimizing pipelines with data augmentation and inference optimization using PyTorch and Hugging Face Transformers. I’m now seeking full-time AI/ML Engineer roles where I can build and improve production-grade AI products.
