About

About Me With a Master’s degree in Computer Science from the University at Buffalo and professional experience as a Software Engineer at Samsung India Electronics Pvt. Ltd. (R&D), I have built a strong foundation in software engineering, Android development, systems programming, and machine learning. During my time at Samsung, I worked on performance-sensitive applications, including an Android-based document classifier app that achieved 83% accuracy using TensorFlow Lite and computer vision techniques, improving mobile gallery organization and retrieval. I also contributed to research on power-saving mechanisms in multi-hop D2D communication, strengthening my expertise in networking, optimization, and low-level system behavior. My Mission and What Drives Me I am passionate about building scalable, efficient, and reliable software solutions that solve real problems and enhance user experience. I enjoy working across the stack, from clean UI implementation with Jetpack Compose and Kotlin to backend logic, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines, agentic AI systems, data processing, and performance tuning. My skills include C++, Python, TensorFlow, PyTorch, LangChain, LlamaIndex, MVVM/Clean Architecture, CI/CD, Coroutines, and production ML deployment. I’m driven by curiosity, continuous learning, and turning complex ideas into practical, production-ready products. What I’m Looking to Do in the Future I am seeking software engineering roles where I can build impactful products, deepen expertise in Android development, agentic AI, RAG systems, LLMs, computer vision, NLP, system design, and scalable applications. I want to tackle challenges in data structures, algorithms, debugging, optimization, and clean architecture while contributing to innovative teams that value ownership and high-quality engineering. A Little Personal Touch Outside of coding, I express creativity through dance as Head Choreographer of my college dance club and enjoy organizing large-scale sports events, building leadership and collaboration skills. I thrive on learning, adapting, and new challenges. Let’s connect!
