Senior AI/ML Engineer @ STG

About

I build AI systems that solve complex, real-world problems. I am a Senior AI Engineer with 6+ years of experience across machine learning, data science, and enterprise AI. My work has evolved from building predictive models and large-scale demand forecasting platforms to leading engineering teams that design and deliver production-grade Agentic AI, RAG, AI drive BI, and intelligent automation systems. My experience spans technical architecture, hands-on engineering, AI consulting, technical pre-sales, and working directly with senior stakeholders to turn ambiguous business problems into production systems. I thrive in ambiguity and tend to approach problems from first principles. I am less interested in adding an LLM to everything with an API endpoint and a dream, and more interested in building meaningful AI systems that are reliable, scalable, and genuinely useful. My background also includes an M.S. (Research) from IIT Madras, where my work combined computational modeling and machine learning and resulted in two peer-reviewed journal publications. Areas I work across: Agentic AI • Multi-Agent Systems • LLMs • RAG • Text-to-SQL • Machine Learning • MLOps • AI Platforms • Data Science • Technical Leadership
