About

Engineering With Purpose

Introduction

I’m a Computer Science and Engineering graduate specializing in Artificial Intelligence, driven by curiosity to understand how intelligent systems work and how they can solve real-world problems. My work spans machine learning, LLMs, agentic systems, reinforcement learning, model optimization, and data-driven applications. I enjoy taking complex problems, breaking them down into measurable engineering challenges, and building solutions that can be tested, evaluated, and improved. I believe good AI engineering goes beyond training a model—it is about connecting models with reliable data, software, and systems that make them genuinely useful. As I continue growing as an engineer, I’m focused on strengthening my fundamentals, exploring new ideas, and turning what I learn into things that actually work.

Professional Mindset

I approach engineering with curiosity and discipline — treating every problem as a system to understand, decompose, and improve. I value clarity over complexity and measurable impact over buzzwords.

Engineering Philosophy

Build systems that are reliable at scale, interpretable in production, and designed with the end user in mind. Good engineering means making the hard parts invisible.

What I Enjoy Building

End-to-end AI pipelines, agentic environments, forecasting systems, and backend infrastructure that turns models into real products people can depend on.

Problem-Solving Approach

Start with the constraint, define success metrics early, prototype fast, and iterate with data. I break ambiguous problems into testable hypotheses and ship incrementally.

50%+

FLOPs Saving

PROBLEM

Deep neural networks like ResNet-18, VGG-16, and MobileNetV2 exceed the thermal, memory, and energy budgets of resource-constrained edge devices.

RESEARCH GAP

Existing structured pruning techniques optimize purely for theoretical FLOP reduction or parameter counts, failing to account for real-world hardware energy dissipation and latency sensitivity curves.

SOLUTION / APPROACH

A multi-objective adaptive structured pruning framework coupled with a knowledge-distillation recovery engine and automated ONNX runtime deployment benchmarking.

KEY RESULTS & IMPACT

Achieved 59% total model compression and >50% FLOPs reduction across ResNet-18, MobileNetV2, and VGG-16 with negligible inference accuracy degradation.

FUTURE DIRECTIONS

Extending adaptive energy-driven pruning algorithms to multi-billion parameter quantized Transformer models and LLMs on edge hardware.

CrisisGrid — Multi-Agent Disaster Response Intelligence System via GRPO

Qwen 1.5B

Backbone

GRPO

Algorithm

PROBLEM

Disaster management requires coordinating complex, long-horizon logistics decisions under severe uncertainty where single-agent LLM systems degrade or hallucinate.

RESEARCH GAP

Standard LLM agent architectures lack formal mathematical reward alignment for long-horizon multi-agent cooperation, leading to reward hacking and cascading decision failures.

SOLUTION / APPROACH

An autonomous multi-agent intelligence system featuring tool-use, dynamic planning, and shared memory, fine-tuned on Qwen 1.5B using Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO) with LoRA adaptation.

KEY RESULTS & IMPACT

Demonstrated robust autonomous agent recovery and task completion in simulated disaster environments with structured JSON tool execution and zero catastrophic divergence.

FUTURE DIRECTIONS

Integrating live GIS telemetry and multi-modal satellite imagery directly into the GRPO reward function and tool definitions.
