How I build

Six decisions, one system.

Production AI is a chain of decisions, and every link is somebody’s job. I work across the whole chain, so quality, cost, governance, and ownership reinforce each other instead of arriving as afterthoughts.

How I work

Systems and people.

The best AI systems I have shipped made people faster and sharper, not redundant. That is a design choice, and I make it on purpose.

The journey

Rockets to reasoning.

Every stop taught the same lesson from a different angle: the interesting problems live in the whole system, not the model alone.

    • DRDO HEMRL
    • Savitribai Phule Pune University
    Engineering foundation

    Actual rocket science

    At DRDO HEMRL, I applied machine learning to solid rocket propellant analysis while studying mechanical engineering. It was my first lesson in systems where the details are unforgiving.

    • Horizon Geospace
    First production ML

    Horizon Geospace

    ML and NLP inside live CRM systems, with real-time Kafka and Spark pipelines. Where my models met users for the first time.

    • Rochester Institute of Technology
    Model training and research

    RIT Action Lab

    An M.S. in Computer Science on a merit scholarship, building multimodal datasets and training video-to-text models before the LLM era. I train models as well as orchestrate them.

    • DEKA Research & Development
    • FedEx
    Regulated production

    DEKA R&D

    Production ML for an autonomous delivery robot built with FedEx, and for an insulin delivery system that is now FDA 510(k)-cleared. Quality was the product.

    • Tredence
    Enterprise AI · today

    Tredence

    Agentic platforms, GenAI evaluation, and AI architecture for some of the largest enterprises in the world, with multiple teams mentored along the way.
