AI/ML systems architect · Pune, India

I build AI systems that are ready for the real world.

I work across the lifecycle of modern AI—from model training and fine-tuning to reliable, low-latency production systems.

A little about me

Engineering ideas into useful systems.

I’m a Lead AI/ML System Architect at A10 Networks, working across the AI lifecycle—from model post-training and fine-tuning to the systems that deploy and protect AI applications. I’ve contributed to building AI Firewall and AI Gateway capabilities, connecting model expertise with reliable production infrastructure.

I also build open source projects and write about the systems and techniques I’m learning. I’m curious about how thoughtful engineering can turn ambitious ideas into products people rely on.
