About

I'm a self-driven ML practitioner at IIT Roorkee with hands-on experience building end-to-end AI systems — from prototyping models in PyTorch and TensorFlow to deploying them with Docker, Kubernetes, and MLflow on cloud platforms like AWS and GCP. My recent work has been focused on large language models, working with Hugging Face Transformers and LangChain to build LLM-powered applications. I enjoy the full lifecycle — not just training a model, but making it production-ready. What I bring to the table: → Strong foundations in Python, deep learning, and NLP → Practical MLOps experience: containerization, CI/CD for ML, model serving → Cloud deployment on AWS/GCP → Hands-on projects in LLMs, Generative AI, and classical ML I'm currently seeking AI/ML or MLOps internship opportunities where I can contribute to real-world systems while learning from experienced teams. Let's connect — I'm always open to conversations about AI, open-source, and building things that ship
