About
AI/ML Engineer working on building production-grade AI systems at the intersection of machine learning, AI systems, and large-scale data processing. My current work focuses on designing and deploying systems that enable structured reasoning and intelligent interaction over complex enterprise data, including: • Multi-step reasoning using retrieval-based systems • Multimodal document understanding (computer vision + ML/LLMs) • Evaluation, grounding, and reliability of AI systems I have experience building and scaling: • End-to-end AI/ML pipelines (retrieval systems, model orchestration, evaluation frameworks) • Distributed backend systems and high-throughput data workflows • Data processing and automation systems across finance, analytics, and bioinformatics domains. Previously, I worked on distributed systems, CI/CD orchestration, and large-scale automation across global teams, including exposure to Singapore- and New Zealand-based environments. In addition to engineering, I actively mentor professionals in Python, Machine Learning, and AI systems, and have delivered faculty development programs on data analysis and ML. I’m particularly interested in machine learning research, broadly in areas related to: • Reasoning and decision-making in AI systems • Retrieval, representation, and grounding • Multimodal learning and intelligent systems • Model adaptability and continual learning in dynamic, real-world environments Core areas of interest: • AI systems and applied machine learning • Scalable and production-grade ML/AI infrastructure • Intelligent systems combining learning, reasoning, and data Open to discussions on AI systems, machine learning, and research-oriented problems. Currently serving notice period and open to AI/ML roles.
