I’m an AI Engineer and M.S. Artificial Intelligence candidate at Northeastern University with a strong focus on building production-ready machine learning systems. I specialize in applied AI, LLM-powered applications, multimodal models, and end-to-end ML pipelines — from data preprocessing and model training to deployment and optimization. I’ve worked on projects spanning explainable AI for medical imaging, multimodal emotion recognition, NLP-driven systems, and LLM-based agents. My approach combines strong technical foundations (Python, PyTorch, TensorFlow, data engineering, and system design) with product thinking — I care not just about model performance, but about building scalable AI systems that deliver real-world impact. I’m particularly excited about opportunities where AI moves beyond experimentation into fully deployed, user-facing products.
