ABOUT

What really gets me excited is the fundamental research side of deep learning, an area where I see significant untapped potential given the formative stage of the field, relatively speaking. While my current credentials in it are still modest for someone so deeply interested, but I have gained practical experience in the development and engineering side of things building and deploying solutions through internships and research projects.

I welcome conversations about any and all opportunities in the AI/ML space, and I'm eager to find the right team to contribute to.

PROJECTS

Darwin Pilot : Adaptive Ship Routing Optimization

Spatio-Temporal ModelingPathfinding AlgorithmNetCDFxarrayCMEMSGeospatial IndexingDynamic Cost ModelingPythonSciPycKDTree

Designed an adaptive maritime routing engine using CMEMS NetCDF datasets, modeling environmental interactions as dynamic cost fields on a spatio-temporal grid. Implemented a graph-based A* variant with efficient geospatial indexing (SciPy cKDTree) and large-scale data processing via xarray and NumPy for real-time, data-driven voyage planning.

Novito : An AI Meeting & Scrum Agent

LLMsAgentic AIFastAPIReactSQLAlchemyDeterministic ParsingHuman-in-the-loopRICE ScoringSprint AutomationFrontend + Backend Integration

Built a full-stack meeting-to-task automation system integrating LLM-based extraction with deterministic parsing and human-in-the-loop validation. Features include intelligent task breakdown, dependency detection, sprint management, and an inbuilt agent (“Nova”) for automated Scrum operations.

Synthetic Image Classification Pipeline using Stable Diffusion and YOLOv8

Stable DiffusionGemini APISynthetic Data GenerationYOLOv8Auto-annotationDataset Engineering

Developed an automated pipeline that generates, annotates, and trains image classification models entirely from text prompts using Gemini + Stable Diffusion and YOLOv8. Achieved high mAP with zero manual labeling, demonstrating scalable synthetic data workflows for computer vision model training.

INCOIS-RAGBot

RAGLLMsLangChainChromaHugging FaceGradioSemantic RetrievalContext-Aware QA

Built a context-aware chatbot using pre-trained LLMs and a RAG framework to handle oceanographic and institutional data queries with factual precision. Integrated LangChain for pipeline orchestration, Chroma for vectorized retrieval, and Gradio for the user interface. The system efficiently retrieves and contextualizes domain-specific data, enabling enhanced understanding and conversational accuracy for scientific and administrative users.
