About

I'm a Software Engineer working at the intersection of backend systems and generative AI where scalability meets creativity. Currently at Pocket FM, I'm building AI-driven systems that are reimagining storytelling through generative content. Before this, I created an AI research assistant at Research Commons that actually outperformed traditional search (yes, really). I won the xAI Hackathon, which was less about the trophy and more about discovering how much I love turning complex problems into elegant solutions. There's something magical about watching LLMs, RAG pipelines and backend systems work together to create something genuinely useful. What drives me: Building products that solve real problems, not just impressive demos. I care about latency as much as prompt engineering and I believe the best AI products are the ones users don't realize are AI. What I'm exploring: How to make LLM-powered systems production-ready at scale. The gap between a notebook experiment and a system handling millions of requests is where the interesting work happens. If you're working on AI infrastructure, building products with LLMs, or just want to geek out about vector databases and context windows, let's connect. Always happy to exchange ideas over coffee (virtual or real). Thanks for reading this far. Really.

  • Built an AI research assistant that's 35% more accurate than traditional search - like having a PhD student who never sleeps.
  • Slashed AI costs by 70% with smart caching - because burning through API budgets isn't sustainable.
  • Deployed scalable GCP infrastructure that saves 20% on cloud costs while handling thousands of queries.
  • Created an intelligent data pipeline that automatically crawls and processes academic content in real-time.
  • Implemented robust monitoring with Grafana Loki to keep everything running smoothly 24/7.
  • Built async processing with RabbitMQ to handle high-volume requests without breaking a sweat.
  • Built tons of internal tools end-to-end, from concept to deployment.
  • Created automated data pipelines on Azkaban that process academic content without human intervention.
