Agent loops are state machines
The moment I started drawing my agent workflows as state machines instead of 'loops with vibes', the bugs got boring — in the best way.
Building intelligent systems that ship — from model experiments to production LLM applications.
LLM apps in productionRAG pipelines end to endAgents that finish the job
The models, frameworks, and infrastructure behind everything I build.
I'm an AI/ML engineer focused on generative AI and agentic systems — the layer where models stop being demos and start being products. My work spans the full arc: framing the problem, shaping the data, building the pipeline, and measuring whether it actually works.
Lately that means LLM applications — retrieval-augmented generation, tool-using agents, and the evaluation harnesses that keep them honest. I care about the unglamorous parts: chunking strategies, failure modes, latency budgets, and what happens when the model is wrong.
When I'm not building, I'm writing notes on what I learned — because explaining a system is the fastest way to find its gaps.

A demo that works once is a hypothesis, not a result. Every system I ship comes with an eval harness.
Reach for the biggest model last. Most problems shrink when you frame them properly.
Autonomy is earned. Tool access, budgets, and stop conditions are part of the design, not an afterthought.
Experiments without notes are just expensive random walks. The lab notebook is part of the pipeline.
Pick a directory — each one is a domain I work in, with the tools I reach for and the proof to back it up.

The fundamentals everything else stands on.
Selected work across GenAI, agents, and classic ML — each one shipped, measured, and documented.
An interactive web emulator of the classic fx-82MS scientific calculator. Features LCD display indicators (DEG/RAD, STO, M, HYP), keyboard shortcuts, logarithmic and trigonometric calculations, and memory operations.
BUILT WITH
A comprehensive web portal for engineering students to practice GTU mathematics question sets. Features beautiful LaTeX formula rendering powered by KaTeX, topic filtering, and exam-focused question categories.
BUILT WITH
A retrieval-augmented assistant that answers questions over private document collections with cited sources. Hybrid search (dense + BM25), semantic chunking, and a re-ranking stage keep answers grounded; an eval suite tracks faithfulness and retrieval hit-rate on every change.
STACK
A LangGraph workflow where planner, researcher, and writer agents collaborate on long-form research tasks. Each agent has scoped tool access, token budgets, and hard stop conditions; a supervisor node reviews intermediate output before the pipeline advances.
STACK
A lightweight harness for regression-testing LLM applications: versioned prompt suites, LLM-as-judge scoring with human calibration checks, and a diff view that shows exactly which cases a prompt change broke.
STACK
Classic ML done properly: a churn prediction model with feature pipelines, SHAP-based explanations, and drift monitoring — because not everything needs a transformer.
A small full-stack app for versioning, tagging, and A/B-testing prompt templates across projects, with a diff view for prompt iterations.
Local-first meeting transcription and summarization using Whisper and a small instruction-tuned model — no audio ever leaves the machine.
Notes from the workbench — what I'm building, what broke, and what the numbers said.

I assumed retrieval quality was about embeddings. Three rebuilds later: it's mostly about what you feed them.

LLM-as-judge is cheap and useful — as long as you keep checking the judge. A few practices that kept my evals honest.
The formal groundwork — degree, certifications, and continued learning.
