About

AI/ML Engineer with hands-on experience in building end-to-end machine learning systems, from data preprocessing to deployment. I have worked on real-world projects involving Deep Learning, NLP, Computer Vision, and Time Series Forecasting. During my time at Cognizant, I developed backend APIs and secure authentication systems, gaining strong foundations in scalable software engineering. I combine this with my expertise in machine learning to build production-ready AI systems. I have built multiple projects including: • CNN-based image classification (85% accuracy) • LSTM-based stock prediction system • End-to-end NLP and recommendation systems • Full-stack ML pipelines with visualization (Tableau, Streamlit) I am particularly interested in solving real-world problems using AI and building systems that can scale in production environments. Currently seeking opportunities in AI/ML Engineering, Data Science, or Software Engineering roles at product-based companies. 📌 Tech Stack: Python, PyTorch, TensorFlow, Scikit-learn, SQL 📌 Interests: ML Systems, Deep Learning, Backend Engineering 📌 Open to: AI/ML, SDE, Data roles
