I am an AI Engineer with a strong background in developing and deploying AI-driven solutions, particularly in the areas of natural language processing and generative AI. My experience includes building AI tools for event management using LLMs and VLMs, improving search and recommendation systems with semantic search and embeddings, and creating sophisticated AI agents for lead generation, customer support, and ticket booking. I have also automated revenue extraction from documents using RAG pipelines and Gemini, and deployed event recommendation chatbots with optimized latency and cost-efficiency. My work has involved migrating ML models to AWS Cloud, building graph databases with Neo4j, and developing web crawlers. I have a proven ability to integrate diverse systems, automate workflows, and develop predictive models. My technical skills encompass a wide range of programming languages, ML/LLM frameworks, cloud platforms, and MLOps practices. I hold an M.S. in Big Data Analytics from San Diego State University and a B.Tech in Computer Science from BML Munjal University.
