    About: I am a Generative AI Engineer who also happens to be pretty hands-on across the full stack development. Most of my recent work has been building RAG pipelines, AI agents, and natural language search — using LangChain, LangGraph, and vector databases like Pinecone and ChromaDB — with OpenAI, Anthropic, and Gemini APIs under the hood. I care deeply about shipping GenAI features that hold up beyond the demo stage.

    Beyond GenAI, I am working on the full stack — React/TypeScript on the frontend, Node.js or ASP.NET Core APIs on the backend, and AWS/Azure for infra. I like owning things end-to-end and building software that's simple and reliable.

    Technologies:

      • Generative AI: LLMs, LangChain, LangGraph, Agentic RAG, Prompt Engineering, Vector DB (Pinecone, ChromaDB, FAISS), Embeddings, Streamlit
      
      • AI/ML Stack: Python, NumPy, Pandas, scikit-learn, Jupyter Notebooks
      
      • Frontend: React, TypeScript, JavaScript (ES6+), Redux, React Query, D3.js, Chart.js, MUI, Tailwind CSS
      
      • Backend: Node.js, Express, C#, ASP.NET Core, Web API, GraphQL, LINQ, Entity Framework
      
      • Cloud & DevOps: AWS, Azure, Docker, Jenkins, GitHub Actions
      
      • Databases: PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, SQL Server, AWS RDS, T-SQL
      
      • Security & Auth: JWT, OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect, SAML, Keycloak, ADFS
