## Headline

AI Engineer &amp; Full Stack Developer \| Next\.js · Python · Gemini · LangChain \| 7× Hackathon Winner \(Google, MLH, Protostars\)

## About

I build AI\-powered products that ship from receipt intelligence platforms to multi\-agent financial systems\. Currently at Sutra AI, I work on cost\-optimized LLM pipelines using Gemini, LangChain, and Docker focused on reducing latency and improving relevance routing for AI request processing\. Previously at VAIA, I built a full\-stack AI investment platform \(Next\.js \+ FastAPI \+ Supabase\) that automates financial analysis using Gemini models and Mistral OCR replacing hours of manual work with structured, investment\-grade reports\. Before that, at Elanco, I shipped production TypeScript/Next\.js components used across global product pages, refactored core services for maintainability, and introduced Azure AppInsights observability into the stack\. 🏆 Google Agentic AI Day: Second Runner Up \(RASEED receipt analysis\) 🏆 Protostars by Hashed Emergent: Second Prize \(in\-game advertising platform\) 🏆 Make4thon by MLH: First Prize I care about clean architecture, real user impact, and building things that actually work at scale\.
