I design and ship AI systems that hold up past the demo: reliable in production, honest about their own failures, and fast enough for real traffic.

I'mfinishingmyMaster'sinBigDataAnalyticsatVITVellore,butmostofwhatIknowaboutbuildingAIsystemscamefromshippingthem,notfromasyllabus—chasingthegapbetweenamodelthatworksinademoandonethatsurvivescontactwithrealusers.

Most of my work sits at the intersection of LLMs and infrastructure: fine-tuning transformers with QLoRA, building agentic pipelines in LangGraph, and shipping them as FastAPI services with the evaluation and observability (RAGAS, LangSmith, drift detection) to know when they're actually working.

I care most about the parts most people skip: grounding, failure recovery, and honest evaluation. My agentic systems retry and reformulate instead of failing silently, and I've first-authored research on making models small and fast enough to run on real hardware, not just benchmarks.

Experience

Where I've worked

  • 01

    AI/ML Engineer Intern

    PGAGI

    Aug 2026 - Present

    Engineering core pieces of an agentic AI/ML platform: building model-routing and orchestration logic across LLMs and specialized agents, wiring up vector- and graph-based retrieval for document understanding and recommendations, and standing up the cloud infrastructure and security controls that keep it running in production.

  • 02

    Machine Learning Intern

    Tensaw Technologies

    Sept 2025 - April 2026

    Fine-tuned a T5 transformer to 95.7% accuracy for insurance payer-plan classification, deployed a sub-second FastAPI inference API on AWS EC2 serving production traffic, and built a LangGraph-based voice assistant that cut operator handling time by 35%.

Currently Building

  • 01

    Agentic AI systems

    The ideas behind Veritas-Agent: multi-agent pipelines with grounding, validation, and failure recovery.

  • 02

    Efficient, edge-ready ML

    Small, fast architectures that run on real hardware, not just benchmarks.

  • 03

    Production LLM infrastructure

    RAG retrieval, evaluation, and observability for systems that need to be trustworthy, not just impressive.

Have a project, a role, or just an idea worth kicking around? I'm always up for a conversation about agentic systems, ML infra, or anything in between.
