I am committed to enhancing developer productivity and driving efficiency, with a dedication to making significant contributions to the platform's success.

I am also a graduate student at Arizona State University, pursuing a Master of Science in Computer Science with a focus on machine learning and artificial intelligence. I have completed multiple courses and certifications on Coursera that enhance my knowledge and proficiency in these domains. Prior to joining Lazard, I worked as a Senior Software Engineer at Lowe's India, where I led the architectural design and development efforts for the logging and metrics platform supporting Lowes Enterprise Applications, employing open-source technologies such as Prometheus, Thanos, Grafana, and Elasticsearch. I am passionate about learning new technologies and solving complex problems that have a positive impact on society. I am looking for opportunities to grow my career and skills in the software engineering field.

## Work Experience
### Software Engineer II @ Lazard
Jan 2024 – Present | New York, United States
At Lazard, I am part of the team that developed LazardGPT, an internal ChatGPT platform, by integrating various AI models such as Azure OpenAI, Anthropic, and LLaMA. I enhanced the platform by introducing interactive assistants, including a code interpreter for data analysis on uploaded files and retrieval assistants to fetch relevant information from internal documents, significantly improving user engagement. In the next phase, we focused on developing APIs to integrate assistants with tools for retrieving documents. Leveraging a large repository of company documents, we ingested them into a Milvus vector database to enable semantic search and retrieval. I designed and developed FastAPI endpoints to process user prompts, query the database, and return relevant documents in real-time. Additionally, I set up end-to-end ML pipelines to fine-tune and deploy Large Language Models
(LLMs) in production environments using Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) and GPU-accelerated infrastructure.
