About Me

I'm a software engineer who enjoys building applications and integrating AI/ML capabilities into them. I’ve started my career working in a startup environment and collaborated with experienced executives, which has given me a mix of hands-on development and exposure to high-level decision-making.


I’m always learning and currently diving deeper into neural networks, large language models (LLMs), and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), while also starting to explore AI agents.

Private Enterprise GPT

Deployed and scaled an in-house Private GPT using an open-source model on an Ubuntu server. Configured Nginx reverse proxy, SSL certification, and automated deployment with system services, cron jobs, and log rotation. Enabled remote access via VNC and ensured data privacy by eliminating external AI tools. The solution is now used company-wide, replacing ChatGPT and DeepSeek while maintaining full control over data.

AI Search

Implemented an AI Search widget for Potentiam Ltd's internal tools, enabling semantic queries beyond traditional keyword matching. Built on a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) system, the project leveraged FAISS for embedding indexing and LangChain to integrate document retrieval with LLM responses. Improvements included embedding algorithms for speed and accuracy, document-based storage to reduce hallucinations, and caching for query efficiency. Results showed a 90% accuracy rate and reduced user navigation time by 50%, as verified through user feedback and usage metrics.

Intelligence Framework

Developed the "All-in-One Intelligence Framework" for Potentiam Ltd's Talent Acquisition and HR departments, streamlining candidate screening and HR tasks. Key tools included a Resume Reviewer, Job Spec Generator, and Resume Formatter, all leveraging LLMs for detailed analysis, efficient data generation, and conversational interfaces. This improved TA team efficiency, enabling candidate reviews in under 10 seconds and reducing manual data preparation to a 2-3 second response time.

Chatbot Development

Led the creation of an intelligent chatbot widget for Potentiam Ltd, using Rasa and Flask. Migrated the project from Rasa Open Source to Rasa Pro CALM, incorporating Conversational AI, fallback handling with LLMs, and a redesigned UI. The chatbot significantly improved internal team efficiency by reducing navigation, data retrieval, and exportation tasks to under a minute while demonstrating robust AI integration.

Road to AIExternal Link

Developed this site as documentation of my learning journey into GPT model implementation, inspired by Karpathy's Neural Networks: Zero to Hero series. It covers foundational concepts and advanced transformer-based architectures, serving as both a personal and shared knowledge base.

GPT Transformer Model-1External Link

Building GPT from Scratch: A step-by-step implementation of a GPT-style language model, inspired by Andrej Karpathy’s lecture. The project covers language modeling fundamentals, self-attention mechanisms, and transformer architectures. It starts with a simple bigram model and builds up to a multi-headed self-attention transformer.

Neural Networks - Language Models (Makemore)External Link

A hands-on exploration of character-level language models inspired by Andrej Karpathy's approach. This series covers the development of foundational ML models, the implementation of Multilayer Perceptrons based on seminal research papers, and experimentation with advanced techniques such as backpropagation, language modeling, and neural network concepts, along with an in-depth exploration of PyTorch module implementations.

Neural Networks - MicrogradExternal Link

Built a neural network from scratch by developing a micrograd library, implementing core concepts like backpropagation and gradient descent following Andrej Karpathy’s methodology.

Portfolio website with ChatbotExternal Link

Developed a Portfolio site using Flask, HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Along with a functioning chatbot developed using RASA.
