About

I work in machine learning and applied AI, with experience turning ideas into working systems through research, experimentation, and engineering. I enjoy solving problems, trying new approaches, and building solutions that move beyond theory and into real use. My recent work includes developing early prototypes for an Indian Sign Language Translation system at Saraswa Consulting. This involved dataset creation, model development, API workflows, and performance improvements across multiple experimental stages. I also worked on a generative AI evaluation agent, where I helped design testing methods and improve how models are assessed in real scenarios. During my master’s thesis at NXP Semiconductors in the Netherlands, I focused on neural network quantization for edge devices. I trained and evaluated models, tested different frameworks, and produced deployment-ready recommendations that achieved strong compression with minimal accuracy loss. Earlier in my career, I worked at SplineAI as a Software Engineer, developing AI-based healthcare applications. This included building data architecture, deploying on-device deep learning models, and creating full-stack components across web, Android, and backend systems. Alongside my engineering work, I am currently teaching computer science, which allows me to share the latest tools and development methods with students. However, my core interest are in machine learning, AI, generative models, automation, and product experimentation. I am always interested in learning new technologies, applying them to real problems, and seeing how ideas behave in production environments. If you are working in similar areas, I would be glad to connect. Key Skills: • Machine Learning and AI: NumPy, Pandas, Scikit-learn, PyTorch, TensorFlow, TensorFlow Lite, Ollama, PydanticAI. • Software and Web Development: Python, Java, JavaScript, Node.js, React, Tailwind, Cron Jobs. • Data Engineering and Visualization: MySQL, InfluxDB, FHIR, PostgreSQL, Tableau, Grafana • Systems and Platforms: Linux, Windows, Raspbian, CentOS, Android
