About

I am an AI-focused Software Engineer specializing in building practical, real-world intelligent systems rather than just theoretical models. My work revolves around developing AI-powered applications using LLMs, RAG architectures, and computer vision, with a strong focus on performance, scalability, and real business impact. At Movenetics Digital, I have worked on: AI chatbot systems using LLM + RAG pipelines Face recognition-based identity systems using embeddings and FAISS vector search AI-powered virtual try-on solutions using diffusion models Full-stack web applications and admin dashboards I have hands-on experience with: Python, Django, REST APIs Face embeddings, similarity search, and FAISS-based retrieval systems Prompt engineering and response optimization Web scraping and data pipelines (BeautifulSoup, Scrapy) I focus on building systems that are not just functional, but efficient, production-ready, and scalable, with an emphasis on low-latency AI systems. Currently, I am looking for opportunities where I can contribute to building impactful AI-driven products and continue growing as an AI Engineer.
