AI Engineer at Centific, working on Verity — an NVIDIA-accelerated multimodal agentic platform for enterprise vision intelligence. My work sits at the intersection of GPU inference optimization, real-time computer vision, and agentic LLM orchestration.

Before Centific, I did graduate research at the Spatial AI & Robotics Lab at the University at Buffalo under Dr. Chen Wang, and spent three years as a CV and ML engineer in Hyderabad building production inference systems on Jetson hardware.

Outside of work I run a self-hosted AI stack on personal hardware — a 20B LLM served via SGLang across two GPUs, a vision model on an RTX 2060, object detection on a Jetson Orin Nano, and a full RAG + voice pipeline. It serves this site’s chat interface. Details at alphapibeta.com/projects/homelab-ai-stack.

If you want to talk about production AI systems, GPU inference, or agentic pipelines, reach out via email or LinkedIn. Resume available on the CV page.
