About

I am working as an ML Engineer building Full-Stack GenAI @ Sarvam.ai. I have multiple years of experience in Python and Machine learning experience. I have contributed to various open source organizations like Swathanthra Malayalam Computing, FOSSASIA, Keras, DVC, HuggingFace, fast.ai, CloudCV etc. I like to speak and interact with developer community. I am an active member of fast.ai community and engage in lot of other communities based in Kerala. I have given talk thrice as expert in competence of Machine Learning and core Python in Pycon India, which is the largest gathering of Pythonistas in India for the Python programming language. I believe in the old Malayalam proverb, “അണ്ണാൻ കുന്നിനും തന്നാലാവത്”. In English it translates to this meaning - “Even a squirrel does what it can do it’s best of abilities, similarly we should also strive to do everything to best of our abilities.”. My LinkedIn posts are personal opinion, not associated with any organizations I involve.
