About

I am a Senior AI Engineer focused on building high-performance, cost-effective AI systems that bridge the gap between research and production. My expertise lies in Generative AI, LLM/SLM Optimization, and Computer Vision (OpenCV). In my current role at a US-based startup, I lead the development of specialized AI workflows where efficiency is critical. I recently spearheaded an initiative to fine-tune Small Language Models (SLMs), which successfully slashed API costs while maintaining model accuracy. By optimizing inference pipelines, I also achieved a significant reduction in latency, ensuring a seamless real-time user experience. Core Technical Expertise: Generative AI & NLP: Fine-tuning (PeFT/LoRA), RAG pipelines, Prompt Engineering, and SLM deployment. Computer Vision: Real-time object detection and image processing using OpenCV and PyTorch. Optimization: API cost reduction strategies, latency benchmarking, and model quantization. Tech Stack: Python, SQL, LangChain, Hugging Face, Ollama,Docker, and AWS. I thrive in fast-paced startup environments where I can solve complex architectural challenges. I am always open to connecting with fellow AI researchers, engineers, and tech leaders pushing the boundaries of what's possible with LLMs.
