About Me

With a strong academic foundation spanning Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and Biomedical Engineering, I work at the intersection of healthcare domain expertise and applied AI systems. My experience involves designing, developing, and scaling AI solutions in medical imaging, multimodal healthcare analysis, and predictive maintenance.

I currently serve as a Machine Learning Engineer at CurieDx, a healthcare startup in the United States, where I'm involved in early-stage R&D as well as production-level system development. Alongside this, I work as an AI Consultant for Microheal Wellness Pvt. Ltd., building multimodal AI pipelines for healthcare diagnostics using Vision-Language Models.

As an independent researcher and freelancer, I support PhD scholars and startups in building robust AI pipelines — from cardiac MRI segmentation to Alzheimer's diagnosis to predictive maintenance of industrial systems. I also help businesses automate their operations through intelligent data entry systems, automated quotation generation, and AI-driven workflow optimization.

I've authored 5 open-source Python frameworks on PyPI, published a Udemy course on data science, and have 30+ research publications with international collaborators across France, UK, and India. I hold 2 patents in predictive maintenance and have been cited on Google Scholar.

Based in Chennai, I'm available for speaking engagements, workshops, guest lectures, hackathon judging, AI consulting, and research collaborations.
