About

AI & Data Engineer specializing in production LLM/RAG systems and data platforms. I design, evaluate, and deploy end-to-end ML pipelines—from retrieval and vector search (FAISS/Chroma) to prompt engineering, guardrails, and observability. I ship Python-first services with FastAPI, containerized on Docker/Linux with CI/CD. Active in IEEE Smart Cities and a frequent first‑place finisher in challenges and hackathons, I focus on reliability, performance, and measurable impact.
