About

I'm a CSE-AIML student at VNR VJIET, graduating in 2027, focused on AI systems and software engineering. My work spans retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), information retrieval, machine learning pipelines, and backend systems. During my ML internship at MapmyGenome, I worked with 500K+ genomic records, developing data-processing and feature-engineering workflows across multiple target variables. I'm interested in the engineering behind AI applications, particularly model evaluation, retrieval quality, reproducibility, and reliable backend infrastructure.

RAG

AI-Powered Learning System

A personalized learning platform that converts uploaded syllabi into structured topics and generates adaptive study schedules based on topic priorities and learning progress. Integrates LLM-guided topic prioritization, deterministic schedule generation, and RAG-based question answering over study materials. My contributions include backend development, adaptive scheduling, and frontend modifications.
