About

ML Engineer with 3+ years building production AI systems in financial services. I build things real users depend on daily production systems at scale. What I've shipped: → Multi-agent MCP platform orchestrating 4-5 AI agents across multiple data sources (CrewAI/A2A) → NL-to-Elasticsearch engine serving 800-1000 wealth managers daily (GPT-4o + BERT embeddings) → LLM fine-tuning pipeline - LoRA on Phi-3 mini, ~95% accuracy on domain tasks → RAG systems for wealth management document retrieval → STT pipeline for financial call transcription and analysis I also write about how production AI systems work under the hood from reverse-engineering Gemini's memory architecture to building custom evaluation metrics for LLM fine-tuning with LLaMA-Factory. Links in Featured. Currently pursuing M.Tech in Artificial Intelligence from IIT Madras. Competitive programming: Codeforces Expert | CodeChef 5-Star Stack: Python, PyTorch, LangGraph, CrewAI, MCP, RAG, LoRA, Elasticsearch, FastAPI, Docker Open to ML Engineer and Applied Scientist roles at companies building AI at scale.
