Bio: I'm an AI/ML Engineer who loves building practical AI systems, the kind that don't just sit on papers, but actually work in production. By day, I'm architecting scalable LLM + RAG + Agentic AI pipelines for enterprise use cases at UNIS (3PL / Logistics AI). By night, I'm tinkering with GraphRAG, Neo4j-powered tool graphs, multimodal AI, and the occasional diffusion model. Oh, and I'm also passionate about 🧮 math, 🐈 cats, and 🤖 agentic AI.
