At Rara AI, I built a visual search platform for flooring retail from its first version to production. Shoppers on US flooring brands’ websites can photograph a room and see matching floors from the brand’s catalogue.

I rebuilt the image pipeline for segmentation, ranking, and colour matching, and trained the ranking model behind carpet search. The platform was set up so new brands could launch without code changes.

At VISUALEZ, I led the team behind Instalook, a production service that matches tile designs to room descriptions dealers send by voice, mostly in Hindi. I fine-tuned a speech model on dealer recordings and rebuilt the service for speed and reliability, adding WhatsApp as a channel.
