About

I am a philosopher and an AI professional who can also crack a bit of humour. By day, I design AI for ophthalmic and medical imaging. By interest, I study how neuroscience principles can inspire more intelligent and explainable AI. I bring expertise in deep learning and computer vision, with hands on experience in building scalable AI solutions. My work spans both research and product development, from experimental models to real world deployment. I am building Coflect and MetaCognisum. Coflect, an agentic deep learning framework, is focused on interactive deep learning and human in the loop model understanding. MetaCognisum explores brain inspired AI agents and neuroscience driven intelligence design, using ideas like memory, attention, and adaptation to shape more efficient and explainable AI systems. Core skills Efficient, explainable and secure AI GenAI and Agentic AI Cross platform AI product development (Windows, iOS, Android) Probabilistic deep learning MLOps and DLOps Machine learning system design Human in the loop training and model interpretability (Coflect) I write about AI and Neuroscience, Ophthalmic AI, and technical humour, breaking complex ideas into simple and engaging stories.
