Experience
AI team, 1st hire — more like the 'special projects group'.
Innovation team, 5th hire.
Building FleetHQ and more, for now.
Architected a 30-agent AI orchestration engine (LangGraph, CrewAI) on AWS AppRunner, automating 80% of PM workflows and increasing engineering throughput 4×.
Engineered an event-driven, async pipeline using AWS Kinesis, SNS, and Lambda, reducing P95 latency by 85% and ensuring 99.98% message delivery reliability.
Built a production-grade MLOps platform with SageMaker Pipelines and MLflow, automating retraining gates and boosting release cadence 8×.
Implemented a robust observability suite (CloudWatch, X-Ray) that cut critical incident resolution time from 2 hours to ~10 minutes via distributed tracing.
Designed a Redis-based memory layer for agentic state persistence, slashing inter-agent latency by 60% and supporting 2.5× higher concurrent user throughput.
Spearheaded the migration of a legacy monolith to a Java/Flask/gRPC microservice architecture on AKS, scaling to support 100,000+ concurrent WebSocket sessions.
Designed and deployed Airflow-orchestrated RAG pipelines (Pinecone, OpenAI, MongoDB), reducing data staleness from 48 hours to 30 minutes and driving $250K+ in new enterprise contracts.
Standardized Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) using Terraform and Kubernetes, reducing deployment downtime by 35% and quadrupling the team's release velocity.
Optimized high-throughput ingestion pipelines with Kafka back-pressure handling, stabilizing throughput at 5,000 msgs/sec under peak loads of 1M+ events/hour.
Implemented a comprehensive monitoring stack (Prometheus, Grafana) that improved proactive incident detection by 70%, ensuring high availability.
Trained and optimized large-scale vision models (TensorFlow, Keras) on 8TB of medical imaging data, improving diagnostic mAP by 13% and IoU by 17%.
Deployed ONNX-quantized inference endpoints on SageMaker, reducing P95 latency by 40% with negligible AUC drift (<0.5%) for real-time diagnostics.
Leveraged SageMaker Spot Instances and distributed training strategies to reduce GPU training costs by 25% while accelerating iteration cycles by 1.8×.
Architected a serverless inference pipeline using AWS Kinesis and Lambda, ensuring 24/7 fault tolerance and scalable processing for high-volume image streams.
Configured a robust model monitoring stack (MLflow, Prometheus) to track drift and performance, reducing debugging time for production models by 60%.
Graduate Research Assistant
Developed state-of-the-art multi-modal CV models (Swin Transformer, DINOv2) on SageMaker GPU clusters, achieving a 24% increase in rare-disease recall.
Implemented Fully Sharded Data Parallel (FSDP) training on Amazon EKS (8× A100s), reducing model training time by 3.2× and cutting cloud compute costs by 40%.
Engineered a multi-node GPU job scheduler using Slurm and EC2 Batch, automating provisioning and boosting cluster utilization by 35% across shared workloads.
Built distributed data pipelines with AWS Glue and S3 to ingest and preprocess 8TB+ of multimodal medical datasets, improving data throughput by 2.6×.
Designed reproducible experiment tracking workflows with SageMaker Experiments and MLflow, reducing hyperparameter tuning time by 45% and ensuring 100% reproducibility.
Machine Learning Researcher
Developed a distributed kernel regression pipeline on Apache Spark (Java + MLlib), achieving a clinical-grade MARD of 8.86% for non-invasive glucose monitoring.
Engineered a real-time IoT streaming system using AWS Greengrass and IoT Core, enabling ultra-low latency ingestion (<200ms) for 2,000+ daily sensor readings.
Designed production-grade ETL and data quality workflows with Spark SQL, ensuring 95%+ signal integrity across distributed edge devices.
Optimized cloud-to-edge messaging protocols via MQTT, ensuring reliable data transmission and reducing packet loss by 15% in unstable network environments.
Co-authored and published this novel research in Scientific Reports (Nature Portfolio), a Q1 journal, validating the system's clinical accuracy and architectural robustness.

Chanakya v2: A 17-Agent Portfolio and Wealth Research Platform
Four months in, Chanakya has grown into a 17-agent research platform spanning market intelligence and personal finance: a quant-research module with dynamic correlation modeling and rigorous overfitting controls, a governance layer for tuning risk policy, and a complete financial ledger with tax-lot accounting, all reasoning across a real, dual-market portfolio every day.
Voqora: Listen to What You're Already Reading
Voqora is a native Mac app that reads selected text aloud and turns long documents into audiobooks you can follow line by line, with speech running on your Mac. It is in early release, and feedback, issues, and pull requests are welcome.
SuperSay: The Project That Led to Voqora
SuperSay was the first version of a native Mac reading-to-listening idea. The active product is now Voqora.

Compass, not decoration — these shape the work I take, the standards I hold, and the people I want around me.
Hungry
I chase problems over job titles. From a Nature publication at 20 to shipping 25+ systems solo — I move fast because standing still feels like falling behind.
Humble
I've been the founding engineer, the intern, and the student — in the same year. Every role taught me something the last one couldn't.
Sharp
I think in systems. I ask why the architecture needs something, who it serves, and what breaks when it scales.
Ownership
When I take something on, it gets done. No handholding. I've shipped production systems solo that most teams would staff 4 engineers for.
Velocity
Speed is a skill. I go from zero to production-grade fast by building the right thing first and iterating from an MVP.
Breadth with Depth
I architect distributed systems in the morning and fine-tune LLMs in the afternoon. I go deep enough in each domain to make real decisions.
