Crafting intelligent solutions at the intersection of AI and real-world needs.

About

I build AI-powered products from scratch — backend, frontend, and everything in between. At Cognizant, I design and maintain enterprise-grade systems in C# and ASP.NET Core. Outside of that, I run Chipix, an AI platform that lets chip design engineers generate Verilog/VHDL RTL from natural language and automate verification pipelines — bringing generative AI to a domain that hasn't seen much of it yet. I also built StudentStride, an EdTech platform that scaled to 10,000+ users with AI-powered career guidance and progress tracking. My stack spans Python, FastAPI, React, TypeScript, Node.js, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and .NET Core. I've built RAG pipelines, RESTful APIs at scale, microservices architectures, and full-stack products end to end. What drives me is building things that actually ship and get used — not prototypes. Every project I've worked on, I've taken from idea to production. 🔹 AI/ML: Python, FastAPI, LLMs, RAG pipelines, pgvector, predictive modeling 🔹 Backend: C# / .NET Core, ASP.NET MVC, Java / Spring Boot, REST APIs, Microservices 🔹 Frontend: React.js, TypeScript, Next.js, Tailwind CSS 🔹 Databases: PostgreSQL, SQL Server, MongoDB, MySQL, Redis 🔹 Currently building: Chipix (chipix.in) — AI for RTL chip design I'm open to Full-Stack AI Engineer, Backend Engineer, and ML Engineer roles at AI-first companies, high-growth startups, or teams where I can build at the intersection of AI and real-world products. 📩 aqeedkalburgi007@gmail.com
