About

I’m a Senior Software Engineer at Qualcomm, working on AI systems and increasingly focused on building Applied AI solutions powered by Generative AI and LLMs. My background is in designing high-performance AI pipelines and benchmarking systems for LLMs across CPU and NPU architectures. This gives me a strong foundation in how AI systems behave in real-world environments. I’m now extending this into building real-world AI applications—from LLM-powered tools to intelligent user-facing systems that solve practical problems. I’m particularly interested in: • LLM-powered applications (chat, summarization, automation) • AI copilots and workflow automation • RAG-based systems and knowledge assistants • Edge AI applications I enjoy bridging the gap between AI capability and product experience—turning powerful models into usable, impactful features. Open to opportunities in Applied AI, GenAI product engineering, and AI-driven software systems.
