I design AI that learns efficiently, reasons clearly, and scales intelligently. Also an explorer of how intelligence can be compressed from 1-bit LLMs to real-world AI systems that reason efficiently.

Professional Experience

Researcher — International Institute of Information Technology (IIIT), Hyderabad, India

May 2025 - July 2025

  • Developed and analyzed 1-Bit Large Language Models from scratch and experimenting in a resource constrainted nature.
  • Worked over the Edge computing layer while clustering the developed LLM with T4 and H100 GPUs.
  • Analyzed the DeepSeek-V3 architecture from scratch and their approach to innovation and tech-stack.

Generative AI Engineer — Dubai-based Tech Company (Remote)

Aug 2025 - Sept 2025

  • Built scalable GenAI applications including custom RAG chatbots and LLM pipelines for global clients.
  • Optimized prompt engineering and model outputs to reduce hallucinations and improve multilingual support.
  • Contributed to production-grade solutions used across education and enterprise domains.

From Research to Reality: Entrepreneurial Ventures

Founder, OpenRAG Innovations Pvt. Ltd.

I believe the true impact of research is measured by its real-world application. This conviction led me to found OpenRAG, a venture dedicated to solving the critical challenge of trust and reliability in modern AI. We are engineering a proprietary 'Corrective Context Engine' (CCE) to eliminate LLM hallucinations and make AI systems verifiably accurate for high-stakes fields like education, law, and enterprise.

Bridging Industry and Academia

Beyond building products, I am passionate about creating a symbiotic relationship between commercial innovation and academic rigor. OpenRAG actively contributes to the real world by building Trustworthy AI and also to the scientific community by sponsoring and serving as an official AI partner for leading international conferences, including:

  • ICMEET 2025 London, UK : International Conference on Machine Learning and Engineering Technology.
  • ICDECT 2025 Bhubaneswar, India: International Conference on Data Engineering and Communication Technology.
