About

A creative engineer with a knack for Applied Artificial Intelligence. I excel in employing cutting-edge AI research to solve for open-ended greenfield projects, that demand out of the box thinking and a bias for action. Having worked at several customer facing tech giants, I have had the opportunity to take multiple projects from whiteboard to deployment at scale (hundred millions to billions of daily active users). Bullish on the promise of Agentic AI, and currently building next-generation multi-agent systems to power Agentic Commerce and helpful assistants that reduce user's cognitive load and can take real world actions with minimal user intervention. Previously, I have also worked on building intelligent recommendation systems using Deep Learning Neural Networks for Social Media and Commerce platforms. My current skillset: Building robust multi-agent systems, Agentic AI, Reinforcement Learning to fine-tune LLMs, Strong product intuition for B2C applications
