1. Feb 2026 — Present Yugasys

   AI Engineer Intern

   • Built a voice AI orchestration backend integrating speech-to-text, intent parsing, and app-side actions across 60+ flows, enabling end-to-end voice-driven user interactions.
   • Engineered real-time communication systems using WebSockets and Agora SDK with state management, exponential backoff, and heartbeat monitoring for reliability on unstable networks.
   • Designed an agent-based integration layer using MCP with clear service boundaries and event contracts; applied domain-driven design and resolved failure modes across multi-service interactions while maintaining CI/CD stability.
2. Jun — Aug 2025 Zeru

   AIML Engineer Intern

   • Built a modular data processing pipeline (Python) spanning 5 blockchain protocols for bot detection, enabling protocol-specific preprocessing components to evolve independently.
   • Implemented end-to-end traceability across the pipeline, tagging each transaction from ingestion through classification to ensure debuggability and auditability.
   • Improved production readiness by reducing silent failure modes, adding validation checks at stage boundaries, and ensuring error states were logged and observable.
3. Aug — Dec 2025 PES University

   Teaching Assistant — Advanced Data Analytics

   Under Dr. Bhaskar Jyothi Das

   • Wrote exercises and case studies for a 250-student course; sat with student teams on architecture decisions and tricky debugging sessions.
   • Mentored teams on project architecture, debugging strategies, and efficient algorithm implementation.
   • Standardised grading rubrics to prevent assessment drift across 250 submissions.
4. Jun — Jul 2025 CIE, PES University

   Teaching Assistant

   • Helped student teams build a blockchain-based learning platform with NFT badges and smart contracts focused on the seam between smart contract logic and the UI, where integration tends to break.
5. Aug — Nov 2024 Grain For All

   Engineer Intern

   • Developed a Python-based ETL system to parse and normalise EPA documents into structured outputs using a modular plugin architecture for inconsistent formats.
   • Integrated a multi-step reasoning pipeline using ReAct and AutoGen; added validation and logging at each stage to prevent silent data corruption.
   • Collaborated with cross-functional teams, ensuring modular updates without breaking downstream pipeline components.

  Dog Activity Recognition System

  Multi-service, event-driven platform (Python, Kafka, PostgreSQL, FastAPI, Docker) with a unified session-ingest system time-aligning video frames with biosignal streams. Deployed a CLIP-based zero-shot inference service with audit logs, dead-letter queues, and retry mechanisms for reliability under failure.

  Image Representation via ViT + Product Quantisation

  Identified limitations in VQ-VAE2 and proposed PQ-VAE, combining Vision Transformers with structured latent decomposition and differentiable codebook learning. Improved reconstruction quality and compression efficiency over baseline, validated using SNR and SSIM. Companion paper accepted at ICMLC 2026.
