About Me

I'm a final year Information Technology student with a deep passion for Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. My journey in tech started with curiosity about how machines can learn and has evolved into building real-world AI solutions that make a difference.

What drives me? The intersection of healthcare and AI. My IEEE research paper on pneumonia detection using multimodal deep learning achieved 97.18% accuracy.

Beyond academics, I won my college hackathon with ResuGenie - an AI-powered resume parser that helps students connect with alumni for referral opportunities. I love building practical tools that solve real problems!

When I'm not coding, you'll find me exploring new ML architectures, contributing to open-source projects, or experimenting with LLMs and RAG systems. Currently diving deep into computer vision and explainable AI!
