I am an AI Architect and Researcher with a PhD in Data Science & AI (Dr. Europaeus) and a passion for 'Translational AI' - moving cutting-edge research into scalable industry solutions. With a background spanning NITI Aayog, IBM, and Infosys, I specialize in Generative AI, Large Language Models (LLMs), Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), Model Context Protocols (MCP) and Agentic AI. My work is not just about implementation but about invention; I have pioneered national-level data repositiries (ICED v3) & Energy models (IESS 2047), developed novel anomaly detection systems for global finance & authored 25+ peer-reviewed publications. I am driven by the challenge of solving complex, unstructured problems using rigorous experimental frameworks, from fine-tuning Transformers to designing ethical AI governance structures.
