About
I build AI systems for people who don't care that they're AI systems — they care that the tender answer is right, that the chatbot sounds like a real physician, that today's plan is one they can actually start on.
I didn't come to this through a computer science degree. I studied textile engineering at IIT Delhi, spent two summers in public sector consulting turning government data into dashboards people made decisions from, and found that the part I was good at — and kept being handed — was the gap between a vague business problem and something that runs.
That turned into fifteen months embedded with the Vaccines Commercial team of a global pharmaceutical company, where the brief was usually a sentence and the first job was working out what it meant. It's also why I build my own tools in the evenings: the fastest way I know to understand a technology is to depend on it.

A large-scale human resource deployment programme for a major government department. I built the Power BI dashboard that tracked deployment status state-wise and designation-wise, analysed monthly performance reports to find leave trends and calculate penalties, and compiled 2,000+ compliance documents covering 287 deployed resources for client submission. Left with a letter of recommendation from the Associate Director.

Most of what I know about stakeholders, deadlines and people who disagree with each other, I learned running student organisations before anyone was paying me to.

Led a three-tier team of 30 executives running the technical festival, and built out the guest lecture series end to end.

What I'm looking for
AI Engineer, Forward Deployed Engineer or AI Product roles — the ones where the work is close to whoever has the problem. Open to relocating, in India or internationally.
