PhD engineer building AI-driven platforms, scalable cloud systems, and real-time networking apps.
I hold a PhD in Electrical Engineering (NJIT) and have spent my career at the intersection of programmable networks, cloud, and AI. At Tata Communications, I led architecture and data-driven initiatives for global network services.
Today, I'm building Bridgit Social — a real-time networking app that helps professionals connect in person based on context and goals. I'm also exploring agentic AI and RAG systems for recommendations and coaching.
My technical background spans ML/MLOps, cloud architecture (AWS, GCP), network automation, and data engineering. I love connecting systems end-to-end, from low-level infrastructure to high-level AI products.
Projects
Real-time, in-person networking platform that bridges digital and physical presence. Mobile app helping professionals discover people around them based on context, goals, and timing.
Retrieval-augmented assistant on top of network logs, runbooks, and telemetry to accelerate incident triage. Reduced investigation time by surfacing likely root causes in natural language.
Hands-on exploration of Large Language Models including fine-tuning, prompt engineering, and evaluation techniques. Collection of Jupyter notebooks demonstrating practical LLM applications and best practices.
Contributed to Open Network Automation Platform (ONAP) for NFV orchestration and service automation. Led implementation projects following MEF 3.0 standards, achieving MEF certification and industry recognition.
From low-level network infrastructure to high-level ML products, I enjoy connecting systems end to end.
