About

AI/ML engineer with experience building production-scale LLM and automation systems in cloud environments. Currently pursuing an MS in Applied Artificial Intelligence at Purdue University (GPA: 4.0), with prior industry experience as a Software Development Engineer at Amazon Web Services (AWS) on the OpenSearch platform. At AWS, I designed and deployed LLM-assisted debugging and operational tooling, reducing issue resolution time by 80%, automated deployment pipelines across 15+ distributed services, and optimized performance-critical workflows to deliver measurable cost and latency improvements in production. I bring a strong applied ML foundation, with hands-on experience in LLMs, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), model evaluation, and scalable backend systems, complemented by peer-reviewed research publications (IEEE, Springer) in NLP, computer vision, and explainable AI. 🔍 Actively seeking AI / ML Research or Software Engineering Internships (Summer 2026, U.S.) 💻 Tech stack: Python, PyTorch, Generative AI, AWS, LangChain, HuggingFace, distributed systems 📫 Open to collaborations, research discussions, and internship opportunities.
