01 — About
A Lead AI/ML Engineer & independent researcher.
I'm a Lead AI/ML Engineer and Independent AI Researcher & Consultant. I design and build end-to-end machine learning systems — bridging cutting-edge research with production-ready deployment across computer vision, NLP, and agentic AI.
My flagship independent projects include Hybrid99 — a sub-5MB Edge AI Computer Vision pipeline for automated grain quality detection — and Resume TLM, a three-phase NLP information extraction engine fine-tuned on DistilRoBERTa-Base. Before going independent, I led AI engineering at Kuanta, where our agents reduced startup-evaluation time by 70%.
I care about precision, clean architecture, and code that scales. Currently obsessed with edge-deployed inference, INT8 quantization, and high-accuracy document parsing.
