I'm an AI Engineer and Technical Lead at Safran Engineering Services India, where I've spent 6+ years being the person who turns AI research into things that work in the real world — exhibited at global airshows, deployed to multiple business units, and used by actual engineers.
I operate at the intersection of deep technical execution and product thinking: I own requirements, design architecture, direct teams, and convince stakeholders to change direction when the data says they should. The Concessions project is a good example — inherited a broken ML system, diagnosed the root cause, proposed a fundamentally different architecture, and shipped Phase 1 on schedule.
Now actively targeting AI Product Manager and Senior AI Engineer / Solutions Architect roles where both those muscles matter.

✈️ Aircraft Concessions Classifier — Rescue & Hybrid Redesign · Predictive AI · 2024–Present
Inherited a failed AI initiative (abandoned random forest system). Diagnosed root-cause failures in model architecture, data transformation, and class imbalance handling — then redesigned the solution from the ground up.
What changed: Pure ML approach → Hybrid architecture: lightweight binary triage classifier + specialised second-stage model + structured DB classification layer
Result: ~38% accuracy improvement over predecessor · Phase 1 delivered on schedule · Phase 2 in progress
Key call: Convinced stakeholders that ML alone was the wrong tool — the most important product decision on the project
