Profile

Its About Me

I’m a passionate Software Engineer and full-stack developer currently pursuing my Master’s in Computer Science at George Washington University. With hands-on experience across the U.S. and India, I’ve built and deployed scalable web applications using React, Node.js, Next.js, and cloud platforms. On the machine learning side, my work spans applied AI systems such as ML-based video surveillance anomaly detection, as well as NLP models that analyze large-scale documents for risk, compliance, and decision support using transformer-based architectures like BERT/Legal-BERT, topic modeling, and sentiment analysis. I’ve also built real-time full-stack products for companies like AGLINT and Data Science for Sustainable Development, integrating these ML capabilities into production-ready systems. I’m especially driven by the intersection of AI and practical problem-solving. Beyond tech, I’m a curious learner always exploring new tools, frameworks, and ideas to push boundaries and build impactful solutions.
