Building production-grade Generative AI: RAG pipelines, multi-agent architectures, and real-time ML systems that scale.

// about me

AI systems,
built to last.

I'm an AI Engineer pursuing my Master's in Computer Science at Arizona State University (GPA 3.89), specializing in the full stack of modern Generative AI, from vector retrieval and agent reasoning to cloud deployment and observability.

My work spans multi-modal emotion recognition, agentic voice pipelines, MLOps platforms, and RAG hallucination detection. I care deeply about systems that are reliable, measurable, and actually ship.

Currently building at ASU's RVCoLab MIX Center, where I design GenAI pipelines that power AI-driven virtual avatars in real time.

Where I've built.

AI & Data Engineer Feb 2026 – Present
RVCoLab, Arizona State University · Tempe, AZ
  • Built the data backbone for a gameplay behavior research platform: synchronized 4 real-time streams (OpenFace facial capture, biosignals, Discord chat, OBS footage) at frame-accurate HH:MM:SS:FF precision so researchers could correlate emotional signals across modalities.
  • Wrote Python middleware that reads live biosignals and facial expressions and drives an Unreal Engine 5 AI avatar in real time, giving research participants an emotionally responsive on-screen agent at sub-50ms latency.
  • Integrated a WebSocket Discord bot to stream live participant chat into the avatar system, with synchronized logging across 3 concurrent sessions.
AI / Software Engineer Intern Nov 2025 – May 2026
TechieGenz Softwares · Remote
  • Built an internal document Q&A assistant for enterprise clients: employees could upload company docs and ask questions in natural language, replacing manual search across 1,800+ documents for 170+ users at ~3s response latency (LangChain, Pinecone, GPT-4o).
  • Automated document ingestion, chunking, and summarization via FastAPI pipelines, cutting analyst review time by 65% across 2 previously manual workflows.
  • Replaced keyword search with OpenAI vector embeddings for semantic retrieval; confirmed precision gains via A/B testing across query sets.
  • Exposed document upload, retrieval, summarization, and conversational querying through FastAPI services integrated across multiple enterprise knowledge assistants.
Grader, AI/ML Capstone Aug 2025 – Dec 2025
School of Computing and Augmented Intelligence (SCAI) at ASU
  • Evaluated 20+ production-grade AI systems focusing on RAG pipelines, LLM integration, and system design quality.
  • Identified systemic failure patterns (hallucinations, poor retrieval, missing evaluation frameworks) and delivered actionable feedback.
Graduate Research Assistant Oct 2024 – Dec 2025
School for Engineering of Matter, Transport and Energy (SEMTE) at ASU
  • Replaced manual material property estimation in an ASU additive manufacturing lab with a TensorFlow/Scikit-learn prediction pipeline (FastAPI) at 92% accuracy for Cu and CuNi lattice research.
  • Improved microstructure classification accuracy by 16% on 5,000+ SEM images through CNN architecture optimization and OpenCV/NumPy preprocessing.
  • Co-authored "Data-Driven Microstructure Prediction in Vat Photopolymerization-Based Metal Additive Manufacturing" (in submission).
AI Intern May 2022 – Jun 2022
PECS (Microsoft Affiliated) · Delhi, India
  • Built a recommendation system using decision trees and clustering, improving student application efficiency by 13%.
  • Developed Flask + SQL Server backend APIs serving personalized recommendations, increasing platform adoption.
ML Intern Aug 2020 – Sep 2020
Smart Knower · Delhi, India
  • Optimized ML models using TensorFlow and PyTorch, improving predictive accuracy by 10%.
  • Built scalable training workflows on AWS, reducing model training time significantly.

Things I've shipped.

01

HabitFlow × NudgeOps

Full-stack MLOps platform for personalized habit optimization. Contextual multi-armed bandit system (Thompson Sampling, UCB, Epsilon-Greedy, LinUCB) using 15 behavioral signals over 30-day windows to dynamically select from 10 nudge types.

RAG Hallucination Firewall

RAG firewall estimating answer reliability before responses reach users — combining semantic entropy, Jensen-Shannon divergence, and DeBERTa NLI contradiction scoring into a per-query hallucination risk score. Benchmarked on 198 research papers (1,225 chunks, Pinecone with MMR retrieval) at sub-200ms latency.

Speech Recognition: Deep Learning

Speech command recognition for 35 voice commands trained on 105K audio samples — achieved 96.27% accuracy and 11.4ms inference latency by selecting a CNN-BiLSTM-Attention architecture over 4 alternatives. Packaged into a production inference service with 40-dim MFCC preprocessing, SpecAugment, and Gaussian noise augmentation.
