01 / about

I'm a Machine Learning Engineer at SAP Labs, Bangalore, working on the GenAI/Joule platform. I build AI agents, RAG pipelines, LangGraph-based agentic systems, and ML-backed tooling for real engineering problems.

With a background spanning full-stack development — Java, Spring Boot, React, Node.js — I bring strong software fundamentals to modern AI systems. Currently pursuing M.Tech in Software Engineering from BITS Pilani (WILP).

I've contributed to open source, participated in Devtoberfest, led hackathons, and actively share what I'm learning on LinkedIn. Ask me about Agents, MCP, RAG, or anything GenAI.
