About

Software Development Engineer passionate about building intelligent systems at the intersection of AI/ML and scalable software architecture. With a Master's in Data Analytics from Indiana Wesleyan University, I combine rigorous technical foundations with hands-on experience in developing production-grade applications. I'm deeply excited about the startup ecosystem and the opportunity to drive impact through innovative, lean solutions. My expertise spans building end-to-end software systems using Python, implementing AI/ML models with LangChain and deep learning frameworks, and creating intelligent automation workflows that solve real-world problems. Key Technical Strengths: • Software Development: Python, API design & integrations, ETL pipelines, PostgreSQL • AI/ML Engineering: LangChain, LLM activation, neural networks, machine learning algorithms (decision trees, kernel methods) • Automation & Intelligence: n8n workflows, intelligent agents, prompt engineering • Data Engineering: Real-time data pipelines, data visualization (Power BI), exploratory analysis Notable AI/ML Projects: 🚀 AI Research Agent: Built autonomous research agent using LangChain + Google Gemini with web search and Wikipedia integration, featuring structured output and persistent storage 🚕 Real-Time Data Pipeline: Designed end-to-end ride-hailing simulation with PostgreSQL backend and Power BI analytics dashboard 🏠 California Housing Price Prediction: Developed an end-to-end ML pipeline using Python, Pandas, and Scikit-learn to predict housing prices. Performed detailed EDA, trained and compared multiple regression models (Linear, Decision Tree, Random Forest, Gradient Boosting), and achieved an R² score of 0.81. Visualized feature importance and model performance, with future deployment plans using Streamlit/Flask and real-time dashboards integration. Certifications: ✓ Career Essentials in Generative AI (Microsoft/LinkedIn) ✓ Fundamentals of MCP (Hugging Face) As the author of "The Cabin in the Woods: A Journey of Transformation" and a TRI Literary Award recipient, I bring creative problem-solving and systems thinking to every challenge. I thrive in fast-paced environments where learning, experimentation, and shipping quality code drive growth. Let's connect if you're building innovative products, working on cutting-edge AI/ML applications, or creating the next breakthrough startup solution!
