About Me

From automotive engineer to Principal Data Scientist — my journey embodies the power of strategic career pivoting and continuous learning. Starting as a Quality Assurance Manager at Tata Motors, I recognized the transformative potential of AI and made a bold decision to pursue a Master's in Germany, completely reimagining my career trajectory.

Today, I'm a Principal AI Engineer & Solutions Architect with 6+ years specializing in ML, DL, LLMs, agentic AI systems, and production ML deployments. At Alexander Thamm GmbH, I led Reinforcement Learning Lab, technical deliveries and mentored cross-functional teams, architecting ML pipelines that drove measurable business impact for Fortune 500 clients. Now at Hilti, I continue pushing the boundaries of AI innovation in the construction domain — architecting robust AI solutions and championing best practices for Hilti's Construction Software Products.

What sets me apart: I am the technical bridge between CTOs and engineering teams. I don't just build models — I translate ambitious AI visions into customer-facing solutions. From proof-of-concepts to production systems, I've guided 15+ projects through their complete lifecycle. My international perspective, having worked across India and Germany, brings unique insights to global AI challenges.

Beyond the code: I'm passionate about knowledge sharing through my AI blog, mentoring emerging AI talent, and capturing the world through travel photography — because creativity fuels innovation. Whether you need a Principal Data Scientist to drive your next AI project, an experienced architect to implement an enterprise LLM solution, or a technical lead who can scale AI capabilities across your organization, I bring both technical depth and execution focus to every challenge.
