I’m a Senior Design Engineer and AI Trainer based in Pune, where I combine mechanical product design experience with hands-on AI evaluation and training. With 4+ years in automotive BIW/structures and CAD engineering, I’m comfortable turning complex real-world engineering requirements into clear, testable prompts, rubrics, and logic checks. I work across AI task authoring, verifier design, and benchmark creation—especially for STEM-style reasoning, CAD/geometry generation, and coding workflows—while also supporting structured QA pipelines using Python concepts, Git, Docker, and Linux. I enjoy collaborating with teams across disciplines and iterating until tasks and evaluations are accurate, robust, and edge-case resistant.…I’m a Senior Design Engineer and AI Trainer based in Pune, where I combine mechanical product design experience with hands-on AI evaluation and training.
