About

Technical Specialist | 9 Years in Mobile Development I build mobile apps — Android, iOS, and Flutter — with a strong focus on AI. 10M+ combined downloads across enterprise and startup products. Recently promoted to Technical Specialist at Zensar. Currently on UNFPA and UNICEF projects — Soul Machines AI integration, UChat (conversational AI), Generative AI (LLM APIs, on-device ML), plus CI/CD, backend, and test coverage. Beyond my day job, I built an AI medical guidance chat app using Gemini API — NLP + Text-to-Speech so users get conversational homeopathy-related guidance with voice support. Clear disclaimer: always consult a doctor before decisions. That's the kind of AI work I care about — useful, honest, and in production. I use Generative AI tools daily — Claude, Cursor AI, and Blackbox AI — for coding, debugging, architecture, and shipping faster.
