Associate Project (Gen AI) at Cognizant

About

I design and deploy AI systems that bridge cutting-edge research with real-world impact. With an M.Tech in Artificial Intelligence & Data Science (CGPA 9.29) and published research in applied AI, I specialize in solving complex problems through machine learning, deep learning, and GenAI. My experience spans building real-time computer vision pipelines, sound localization systems, and explainable AI recommendations — leveraging Python, PyTorch, TensorFlow, Hugging Face, and cloud deployment on AWS. In projects, I’ve reduced tracking error in pose estimation, engineered continual learning models to retain knowledge across tasks, and prototyped GenAI-driven recommendation engines with LangChain + GPT APIs. I thrive at the intersection of AI and business, with a keen focus on fintech applications: fraud detection, anomaly detection, transaction risk scoring, and personalized customer insights. I’m eager to bring my expertise to teams driving innovation in payments, security, and scalable AI systems.
