About

Building intelligent solutions with data and AI.

I'm an AI/ML Engineer and Data Analytics professional with an engineering background and a passion for building intelligent, data-driven applications. My experience spans machine learning, Generative AI, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), business intelligence, and modern Python development.

Through my Executive Post Graduate Programme in Data Science at IIIT Bangalore, I developed a strong foundation in data analytics, predictive modeling, machine learning, statistics, SQL, and business intelligence while expanding into modern AI technologies and software engineering.

Today, I focus on building end-to-end AI solutions—from intelligent chatbots and recommendation systems to analytics dashboards and automation tools. I enjoy combining backend development, cloud technologies, APIs, and machine learning to create scalable products that deliver measurable business value.
