About Me

I'm an AI Engineer with over 5 years of experience in designing and deploying scalable AI/ML systems. Originally from a serene mountainous hometown, I moved to New York to pursue a Master’s in Applied AI at Stevens Institute of Technology. My passion lies in leveraging AI to solve complex problems, from fraud detection to sustainable agriculture. I aim to transform my hometown into a self-sustaining ecosystem using AI-driven innovations like automated irrigation and renewable energy.
