About

I am a machine learning and computer vision engineer with over 5 years of hands-on experience building and deploying AI solutions. I enjoy turning data into actionable insights, optimizing models for accuracy and latency, and delivering end-to-end ML workflows on cloud platforms like AWS SageMaker. I am comfortable collaborating with cross-functional teams and mentoring junior engineers to solve real-world problems in areas like healthcare, fintech, and robotics.

I am passionate about robotics, autonomous systems, and scalable AI infrastructure. I love learning new tools (ROS, YOLO, 2D LiDAR, MLOps) and applying them to product-ready solutions. I’m motivated by challenging problems and enjoy sharing knowledge with the team and clients.
