AI & Data Science Engineer | Machine Learning • LLMs • Computer Vision | Python | Applied AI

About

I am a Computer Applications postgraduate student specializing in Artificial Intelligence and Data Science, with a strong focus on backend systems and AI-driven applications. I have hands-on experience building scalable Python-based systems using FastAPI, along with working on machine learning and LLM-based solutions. I have developed projects such as an AI-based reasoning system that integrates local LLMs for efficient inference and a real-time sign language recognition system achieving high accuracy using TensorFlow and MediaPipe. Through my internships, I have gained practical exposure to backend development, SQL optimization, and data processing workflows. I am particularly interested in designing intelligent systems that combine strong software engineering principles with modern AI capabilities. Currently, I am expanding my skills in cloud technologies, especially Microsoft Azure, and exploring scalable AI system design and deployment. I am looking for opportunities to contribute as an AI/ML Engineer where I can build impactful, real-world solutions while continuously learning and growing in the field.
