About

AI Engineer with 5+ years of hands-on experience in machine learning and deep learning. I currently work in the Data & AI R&D team at Philips, building solutions with LLMs and multi-agent systems. Earlier, at LG, I built voice and speech AI that runs efficiently on edge devices in real time. An IIT Kharagpur M.Tech graduate with two peer-reviewed publications in medical AI, I enjoy solving complex problems and exploring what's next in AI.
