About Me.

The intersection of research curiosity and engineering pragmatism.

I'm a software developer and AI engineer experienced in building complete machine learning pipelines — from dataset preparation to scalable deployment. I've worked extensively with deep learning frameworks like PyTorch and TensorFlow, and have built real-time applications using computer vision and transformer architectures.

My projects focus on solving practical problems such as accessibility (sign language translation), security (deepfake detection), and automated evaluation (GenAI grading systems). I emphasize reproducibility, scalability, and reliability using Docker, Kubernetes, and cloud workflows.

Beyond coding, I actively participate in hackathons and technical communities, where I also contribute as a technical lead and event organizer. I believe that great AI isn't just about accuracy scores — it's about building systems that are robust, deployable, and genuinely useful.

Projects.

Real systems I've designed, built, and shipped. Not tutorials — solutions.

Featured

Real-Time Sign Language Translation

Live hand-gesture recognition and text translation for accessibility

Most sign language systems work offline or are too slow — making real-time communication difficult for deaf and hard-of-hearing users.

Deepfake Detection Using Iris Analysis

Biometric-level deepfake detection through iris texture patterns

Face deepfakes can bypass traditional detection systems, but iris texture is extremely hard to fake accurately — making it a strong biometric signal.

GenAI Automated Grading System

AI-powered answer evaluation using semantic understanding

Manual grading is slow, inconsistent, and non-scalable — especially for subjective or open-ended exam answers.

ML Deployment & Experiment Tracking Pipeline

Production-ready ML lifecycle with containerized deployment

ML experiments are often unreproducible, and moving models from notebooks to production is slow and error-prone.
