ABOUT ME

Who am I?

I am a Electronics and Telecommunications graduate with a strong foundation in machine learning, data
science, computer architecture, digital logic design, wireless communications and networking.

My academic and personal projects reflect a strong interest in AI and machine learning, particularly in the
areas of large language models (LLMs) and natural language processing (NLP).

I enjoy exploring modern AI systems and applying them to practical problems through experimentation and
development.

Through my studies, I have developed knowledge across a broad range of technical domains, enabling me to
approach problems from multiple perspectives and adapt quickly to interdisciplinary projects.

Projects:
• Developed training pipeline for GPT style model inspired by nanoGPT with modern architecture utilizing
RMSNorm, RoPE, GQA and Flash Attention
• Designed and implemented a multi-agent LLM pipeline for infinite novel-style story generation,
incorporating RAG-based knowledge retrieval, automated error recovery, hallucination detection, and
mechanisms to prevent context drift during long-form generation.

Relevant coursework: Probability Theorem, Calculus, Linear Algebra, Signal Theory, Object and Event
Recognition, Computer and Telecommunication networks, Programmable digital circuits, Microprocessors,
Numerical methods
