Project Concept
i put this on hackathon message board
Looking to build an AI-powered assistant designed specifically for the elderly—helping them stay on top of medications, bills, birthdays, and appointments, while also advising on scams, clickbait, fake prizes, and confusing digital interfaces. More than just a reminder system, this assistant would offer conversational support and the ability to trigger emergency calls for help when needed.
Tech stack ideas: a local 3B LLM, voice API (maybe OpenWebUI), and RAG with web search for real-time scam detection. Ideally, a lightweight DB for storage and an intuitive UI for easy interactions. I’ve built similar systems as CustomGPTs but want to take this further. Anyone interested in collaborating? Looking for folks into LLMs, voice interfaces, UX for accessibility, and backend dev!

I was born and raised in India, where I completed my initial schooling. With a strong passion for technology, I pursued a bachelor's degree in computer science, which sparked my fascination with machine learning and deep learning. Inspired by their transformative potential to improve lives globally, I decided to deepen my expertise through a master's degree at Stony Brook University, NY. During this journey, I discovered the power of transformers and GPT models, igniting a lifelong drive to learn more and contribute to advancements in this exciting field.
I am passionate about building enterprise-level, production-ready AI applications, particularly in the financial sector. My focus is on leveraging AI to simplify complex processes, enhance decision-making, and boost productivity. I am especially interested in creating innovative solutions that drive efficiency and deliver measurable impact.

Software engineer at Self
Lead Developer
I’m an engineer with a passion for making AI more responsive, insightful, and genuinely useful. As a CS grad from Brown University with a background in machine learning and AI, i’ve built everything from intelligent search pipelines to interactive AI tools that power decision-making. I love tackling complex problems that require both technical depth and creative problem-solving. Whether it's real-time inference, multimodal interactions, or AI for social good, I’m always looking for new ways to push the boundaries of what's possible. I thrive in fast-paced environments where I can experiment with new ideas. Beyond engineering, I’m passionate about AI ethics and in my free time, I enjoy writing, photography, and exploring new ventures to get a headstart on my entrepreneurial pursuits.
I'm looking to build hands-on expertise in machine learning , particularly in real-time inference and improving AI's contextual understanding. I'm eager to dive deeper into efficient LLM inference, learn more about optimizing ML models, reinforcement learning, and deploying AI in production environments. I’m also very eager to team up with creative minds that are looking for co founders/ tech leads with technical knowledge in the AI space.
A few recents I'm working on are a real-time voice powered AI assistant that helps users navigate language barriers by providing context-aware, high-accuracy translations in text and chat-based interactions. Another is a crypto insights dashboard that tracks pre-market trends, using AI-driven reasoning to generate actionable insights. The dashboard processes and detects sentiment shifts, identifies key market movements, and delivers real-time trading recommendations for better decision-making.
