About Me

I'm an AI/LLM Engineer building production-grade NLP systems at SproutsAI, having recently completed my B.Tech in CSE (Honors in AI & ML) from Vishnu Institute of Technology.

My engineering focus is bridging the gap between open-source models and live environments — through agentic workflows, high-performance RAG pipelines, and scalable inference infrastructure.

What I Build

LLM Deployment

Deploy & benchmark open-source LLMs (Phi-4, Qwen2.5-72B, Qwen3.5-35B) on NVIDIA DGX via vLLM + Docker.

RAG Pipelines

Design end-to-end retrieval-augmented generation with vector search, embeddings & prompt engineering.

Model Evaluation

Benchmark LLMs against production use cases — resume parsing, email generation — with quantization (AWQ).

Semantic Search

Vector DB migrations (MongoDB → Qdrant), embedding model evaluation & false positive reduction at scale.

Agentic Sourcing

Multi-source web retrieval (Tavily, Exa AI, DuckDuckGo) & GitHub enrichment pipelines for candidate discovery.

Full Stack Apps

React, Next.js, FastAPI — building end-to-end web applications with modern frontend & scalable backends.

Machine Learning Engineer - AI/NLP

Full-time
Apr 2026 - Present · 7 mos
LLM Benchmarking & DGX Spark Infrastructure
  • Architected and deployed an LLM benchmarking suite on NVIDIA DGX Spark (vLLM, Docker) evaluating Qwen3.6-35B-A3B MoE, Qwen3.5, Gemma 4, Phi-4, and Qwen2.5-72B-AWQ against Gemini; shipped Qwen3.6-35B-A3B, ~39% faster than Qwen3.5 (~60% under concurrent load) and ~26% faster than Gemma 4.
  • Executed model quantization experiments (Qwen2.5-72B-AWQ) within DGX Spark's 128GB unified memory constraint; built local inference pipelines eliminating reliance on cloud APIs (SageMaker) to cut compute costs and ensure data privacy.
Match Parser & Candidate Recommendation Engine
  • Diagnosed inflated match scores on empty and sparse candidate profiles; consolidated scattered scoring logic into a single evidence-based, queue-driven (RabbitMQ) Match Parser pipeline, cutting false positives by 20%.
  • Designed and built a feedback-driven candidate recommendation engine: multi-vector Qdrant retrieval (E5 embeddings, fused with RRF) driven by recruiter thumbs-up/down signals, re-ranked by Gemini 2.5 Flash with per-candidate reasoning.
Agentic Autosourcing & Profile Enrichment
  • Expanded autosourcing beyond Elasticsearch-indexed ATS profiles to 8 new web-search and people-data sources (Exa, Tavily, Apollo, Google, DuckDuckGo) with must-have/nice-to-have ranking, cutting low-quality candidate reviews by 40%.
  • Built a GitHub enrichment agent that identifies technical skills with confidence scores backed by repo- and commit-level evidence, cross-referencing candidate portfolios and resumes.

Jun 2025 - Mar 2026 · 10 mos
Vector Search Migration & Embedding Microservices
  • Executed zero-downtime production vector search migration from MongoDB to Qdrant across 5 NLP repositories (10K+ daily queries), validating result parity.
  • Deployed containerized FastAPI-based embedding service (Hugging Face SentenceTransformer) with backward-compatible validation for scalable semantic matching.
Candidate Filtering & Profiling Pipelines
  • Built candidate filtering pipeline (4 rule-based filters, 3 LLM smart labels) across autosourcing and enrichment, reducing early-stage candidate noise by ~80% and cutting irrelevant profiles reaching recruiters by 30%+.
  • Built and deployed NLP profile enrichment agents for skill extraction, job title normalization, and achievement detection using embeddings and LLMs.
Distributed Event-Driven Pipelines
  • Engineered real-time, distributed queue pipelines using RabbitMQ and Elasticsearch to ingest and process large-scale candidate data with low latency.
