Experience
5+ years across AI engineering, scientific research, and education.
Building generative AI and agentic AI systems at Blackbox Learning in Thiruvananthapuram. Brings hands-on experience with RAG pipelines, LangChain agents, vector databases, LLM fine-tuning (LoRA/QLoRA), and generative AI deployment on AWS.
Analyzed data and built statistical models to support data-driven decisions. Created and delivered educational resources and workshops on data science, and mentored students in data analysis, machine learning, and statistical modeling to help them land jobs in the field. Promoted from Jr. Data Scientist.
First full-time data science role. Analyzed data and built statistical models to support decision making, developed training material and workshops on data science concepts, and mentored students one on one in data analysis, machine learning, and statistical modeling for data science careers.
Six-month data science internship alongside a Diploma in Data Science at Edure, Thiruvananthapuram. Marked the move from life sciences research into data science, leading straight into a Jr. Data Scientist role at Dexpro Innovations.
Research in biomedical technology at Sree Chitra Tirunal Institute for Medical Sciences and Technology: 3D bioprinting of skin, an antimicrobial self-crosslinking hydrogel, and biosynthesized nanosilver. Led and managed research projects with interdisciplinary teams under regulatory standards, analyzed experimental data with statistical methods, and turned findings into reports, presentations, and publications.
Worked under Dr. M. Makesh on the ICAR-CRP project on Vaccines and Diagnostics in Chennai, developing vaccines against Nervous Necrosis Virus in sea bass with a multidisciplinary team, and used PCR for disease diagnosis in aquaculture.
Studied periostin-integrin signaling in the regulation of hematopoiesis in the bone marrow niche. Designed and ran experiments with cell culture, molecular biology, and microscopy, and wrote up the dissertation. The work led to a 2019 book chapter in Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology.
