Technologies I’ve Worked With
I love to learn new technologies and flex my creativity to create amazing things.
AI Tech Stack Expertise – Multidomain AI | GenAI | Agentic AI | CV(Yolov11) | MLOps | Edge AI/On-Device AI | ML Anomaly Detection/Prediction Pipelines
Hands-on AI Engineering Leader with cross-domain expertise in architecting and scaling production-grade GenAI platforms. I specialize in LLM/SLM orchestration, Agentic AI frameworks, and real-time computer vision using YOLOv11 and OpenCV—optimized with CUDA and Pinecone for high-performance inference.
Experienced in deploying cloud-agnostic, resilient systems with Kubernetes and Redis, supported by full-stack observability (Prometheus, Grafana, W&B). I’ve built scalable ML pipelines for anomaly detection and prediction, driving operational intelligence across domains.
From Edge AI to 5G, DPDK, and on-device acceleration, I bridge deep tech with strategic execution—delivering intent-driven, domain-adaptive automation at scale.
Garage-Born Innovation
In my garage-based lab, I research, experiment, and prototype out-of-the-box concepts into real, testable MVPs. It's where raw ideas evolve into innovation—whether it's edge AI, embedded systems, or next-gen connectivity. This is where vision meets execution—on the bench, from scratch.
