Currently working as an AI Engineer at Mulberry LLC, where I built a vision-guided desktop automation agent in Electron, designed a two-stage grid-aiming pipeline with per-display auto-calibration for pixel-accurate click targets, and architected an in-process MCP-style tool layer and agentic loop using native function-calling.

Before that, I was a Machine Learning Engineer at Treosoft IT Solutions and a Software Engineer Intern at Ford Motor Company, where I shipped recommendation systems for 100K+ daily transactions, built Python and SQL ETL pipelines, developed LangChain-based RAG systems with FAISS and Cohere Rerank, and created internal search tools powered by OpenAI embeddings.

I also completed research at National Institute of Technology Puducherry, with work published through IEEE, Springer, and Computational Biology and Chemistry. Highlights include a Best Paper Award at IEEE IConSCEPT 2023, AWS GameDay Winner 2025, and 2nd Place at the CU Boulder Expo 2026.
