About

With over 3 years of experience in AI and backend development, I’ve progressed from a Software Engineer at M2P Fintech to leading AI development at TendrilsIO Inc. My career began as an SDE-1 in the Python team, where I focused on building scalable web applications and intelligent solutions. I contributed to projects like OCR systems for document processing, using technologies such as PaddleOCR, OpenCV, Flask, Django, Redis, and Docker. I worked in Agile teams, collaborating closely with developers and architects to deliver reliable, production-ready systems. Currently, as a Lead AI Developer at TendrilsIO, I specialize in machine learning, NLP, and building end-to-end AI pipelines. I work extensively with TensorFlow, PyTorch, and FastAPI, and have hands-on experience implementing GenAI applications, RAG systems, AI agents, and chatbot solutions. I enjoy solving complex problems, leading teams, and mentoring developers to create impactful AI products. Technical Skills: Python, FastAPI, Flask, Django, TensorFlow, PyTorch, OpenCV, PaddleOCR, Redis, Docker, Git, REST APIs, MLOps, LLMs, NLP, OCR, Scalable AI Pipelines Industries & Domains: Document Intelligence, Fintech AI, Generative AI, AI Agents, Chatbots, Backend Systems for Startups I’m passionate about building innovative AI solutions that solve real business problems. Whether it’s streamlining backend operations or delivering intelligent user experiences, I’m always exploring the next big challenge. Beyond engineering, I find great fulfillment in mentoring and uplifting students and IT professionals. I actively guide aspiring engineers and developers through technical challenges, career planning, and project development. Whether it's through code reviews, workshops, or one-on-one sessions, I believe in creating opportunities for others to grow and succeed in tech. My strengths lie in end-to-end solution design, a deep understanding of modern AI architectures, and the ability to translate business needs into technical deliverables. I’m always excited to collaborate, share ideas, and innovate in the intersection of AI, software, and real-time systems.
