Bridging Research & Production Scale

Engineering resilient, low-latency intelligence that solves real-world operational challenges.

Background & Philosophy

I am an AI & Software Engineer and Computer Science researcher with a background spanning self-supervised computer vision, multimodal sensor fusion, and low-latency agentic voice systems.

Having served as the first AI hire at Lejit AI, I spearheaded the core RAG architecture and multilingual OCR engine that scaled the company from concept to over 200+ paid customers. At NTNU (Norway), I investigated non-intrusive welfare monitoring for elderly individuals by harmonizing mmWave radar, pressure flooring, and physiological wearables.

My approach unites mathematical rigor with clean distributed systems engineering — whether tuning Barlow Twins cross-correlation objectives, optimizing Milvus vector caches, or eliminating turn-taking lag in WebRTC voice pipelines.

Core Focus: Self-Supervised Learning (SSL), Real-Time Video/Audio Pipelines, mmWave FMCW Radar, Multi-Agent RAG Orchestration, and High-Throughput Microservices.

Project Engineer — Multimodal Eldercare & AI Research

Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU)
Aug 2025 – Jan 2026 Gjøvik, Norway
Research Lab Appointment

Architected and deployed a multi-sensor welfare-monitoring research framework designed for non-intrusive Activities of Daily Living (ADL) tracking in elderly-care environments.

  • Multimodal Sensor Fusion: Built a synchronized data acquisition system integrating TI AWR6843AOP mmWave FMCW radar, Sensfloor pressure-sensitive flooring, SOMNOtouch physiological wearable sensors, and Captury markerless motion capture across 13 distinct human activity classes.
  • Rigorous Experiment Pipeline: Designed the experiment pipeline end-to-end: standardized dataset acquisition across three rooms in a nursing-home simulation lab, session-based train/test splits to eliminate temporal/spatial leakage, and per-class decision threshold tuning to mitigate extreme class imbalance.
  • Real-Time SSL on Consumer GPUs: Extended a self-supervised detection architecture (Barlow Twins-based, from 2023 publications) into a real-time inference pipeline running on consumer-grade GPUs without losing detection mAP.
  • Data Integrity & Bug Diagnosis: Diagnosed and resolved severe data-integrity anomalies in raw sensor captures (split binary formats, packet loss under heavy USB bus load, session contamination) that were silently corrupting downstream training models.

AI / ML Lead — First AI Hire

Lejit AI
Nov 2024 – July 2025 India • Remote
Startup Founding Hire • 200+ Paid Customers

First AI hire; led development of an agentic RAG platform for legal professionals from prototype to 200+ paying customers. Spearheaded machine learning architecture, document digitisation pipelines, and low-latency microservices.

  • Agentic Legal RAG: Fine-tuned LLMs and built agentic RAG pipelines over Indian case-law databases and court judgments for case-reference, argument generation, and statutory citation validation.
  • Multilingual Indic OCR Engine: Engineered a deep document-understanding engine capable of digitizing degraded physical legal petitions, court affidavits, and regional language documents across Indic scripts with automated statutory reference linking.
  • High-Throughput Distributed Backend: Designed and deployed backend microservices using FastAPI and Node.js for real-time document indexing, SSE token streaming, and collaborative document markup.
  • Vector Indexing & Cost Optimization: Optimized Milvus vector clusters with semantic caching and chunk re-ranking, reducing LLM token consumption by over 60% and trimming median retrieval latency to sub-second speeds.
