I have always had the habit of examining scientific claims to find out how they function. The fact that I graduated from PES University in AI&ML gave my curiosity a definite focus on research into machine learning and deep learning, on carrying out rigorous experimentation, and on pursuing outlandish ideas.

  1. WLDD

    AIML Engineer Intern

    • Building a backend microservice that collects creator profiles from Instagram and Twitter, stores clean metadata, and adds AI-generated summaries and embeddings.
    • Designed a two-stage async pipeline for discovery and enrichment, using BullMQ workers and MongoDB so creator records can be reprocessed without blocking new ingestion.
    • Implementing platform-specific scrapers and content-analysis flows that support internal apps like DMS, SOLO, meme'd, and a future AI creator-search chatbot.
  2. Yugasys

    AI Engineer Intern

    • Built the backend for a voice AI app that connected speech-to-text, intent detection, and app actions across 60+ user flows.
    • Worked on real-time calling and messaging with WebSockets and Agora SDK, adding retries and heartbeat checks so the app handled weak networks better.
    • Built an MCP-based layer for connecting agents to services, with clear events and error handling across multiple backend services.
  3. Zeru

    AIML Engineer Intern

    • Built a Python data pipeline for bot detection across 5 blockchain protocols, with separate preprocessing steps for each protocol.
    • Added tracking for each transaction from ingestion to final label, making it easier to debug and audit the pipeline.
    • Added validation checks and clearer logs so pipeline failures were easier to catch and fix.
  4. PES University

    Teaching Assistant — Computational Data Science

    • Helped students with data science and ML work, including cleaning data, building features, choosing models, and evaluating results.
    • Reviewed student projects for data leakage, weak baselines, unclear metrics, and claims that were not supported by the results.
    • Mentored teams on project structure, debugging, and algorithm implementation; also helped keep grading consistent across 250 submissions.
  5. CIE, PES University

    Teaching Assistant

    • Guided student teams building a blockchain-based learning platform, especially the link between smart contracts, the UI, and failure handling.
  6. Grain For All

    Engineer Intern

    • Built a Python ETL system that turned EPA documents with different formats into clean, structured outputs.
    • Used ReAct and AutoGen for multi-step document processing, with checks and logs at each step to catch bad outputs early.
    • Worked with different teams to update parts of the pipeline without breaking later steps.
  7. CDSAML, PES University

    Summer Intern

    • Built a chatbot using Ollama and LlamaIndex with a RAG pipeline, so answers could be grounded in retrieved documents.
    • Compared different RAG pipeline setups to understand which worked better for different use cases.
  • B.Tech — Computer Science & Engineering (AI & ML)
