I'm an AI/ML engineer from Goa, India, building AI-native products — LLM systems, RAG pipelines, agentic workflows, and applied machine learning. I wrote my first line of code at 14 (2018) and have been shipping ever since: a multimodal AI assistant, a computer-vision attendance system that won a national hackathon, and a blockchain marketplace that secured a ₹10 Lakh incubation grant.
- 🎓 Final-year B.E. Computer Engineering @ Don Bosco College of Engineering — graduating September 2026
- 🔭 Currently building JugaadGPT — a constraint-first multimodal AI assistant (voice · image · text)
- 💼 Previously: Co-Founder & CTO @ Carbon Bazaar · SDE Intern @ Onstro
- 🎯 Open to AI/ML engineering roles and early-stage startups
- 💬 Ask me about LLMs, RAG, vector search, Whisper, computer vision, FastAPI
