About Me
Hello! I'm pursuing a master's in Geo-information Science and Earth Observation at the University of Twente, specializing in GeoAI.
My interests and work span NLP, Computer Vision, cloud infrastructure, and Geospatial AI. I'm especially interested in agents that can plan, use tools, and evaluate their own work without becoming impossible to debug. I enjoy problems at the intersection of engineering and research, and building systems that actually hold up in production.
Originally from Nainital. Still happiest in the mountains, ideally with binoculars or tinkering with hardware like my custom weather station.
Experience
AI/ML Engineer & Product Lead at Predli Consulting
Led end-to-end product development of Predli Studio, an enterprise AI orchestration platform. Owned the full SDLC, collaborated with engineering leads across Agile squads, and architected an extensible, hierarchical framework for coordinating domain-specific autonomous agents via a central Supervisor.
Shipped GenAI solutions and high-throughput data pipelines for enterprise clients in Finance, VC, and Legal, backed by CI/CD, cloud infrastructure on AWS/Azure, and observability to keep production systems reliable.
