01 / About Me

The Mind
Behind the Machine

I'm a multi-disciplinary AI & ML Engineer, Data Scientist, Data Analyst, and WordPress Developer based in Kochi, India.

I specialise in hybrid RAG pipelines that push retrieval precision 30–40% beyond standard vector-only approaches, and computer vision systems that run at 20–25 FPS on CPU-only hardware.

From raw data to deployed production systems — I build the full stack of intelligence.
