# Swaraj Mandre on Tal

## Headline

AI/ML Engineer \| Fine\-tuning LLMs \(QLoRA/DPO\) & Building RAG Systems on Consumer Hardware \| Python

## About

I once trained an AI model in less time than it takes to microwave a frozen meal\. Four minutes, to be exact\. Same GPU I use to play games\. That's the thing about building AI on a student budget\. No cloud credits, no lab full of GPUs, just a laptop, a lot of stubbornness, and a strange comfort with things breaking at 2 AM\. I'm Swaraj, a final year Computer Science student who got a little too obsessed with making machines understand things\. Some nights that means fine\-tuning language models\. Other nights it means teaching a drone to recognize a single flower in a field of thousands\. Somewhere in between, my team and I once built a working prototype in 24 hours and walked away with a hackathon win\. I don't think good engineering needs expensive infrastructure\. It needs curiosity and the willingness to Google the same error message forty times until it finally clicks\. Always looking to connect with people building interesting things in AI, and open to opportunities where I can build alongside them\.
