Hi there.
Applied AI engineer who ships AI features inside real products, with guardrails in place and JMeter load tests that show they hold under real concurrency. I work alone and build end to end: system design, typed backend, UI, payments and deployment. Freelance since 2023; B.Tech CSE 2026.
Recent work: Stack, CloseBy, ScanCart.ai and Orderly.
Hackathon winner (Reimagine Web Dev Hackathon, Component Making Hackathon), with national-level finishes at Hacksagon 2025, HackGSon Hackathon and Smart India Hackathon. Every entry solo.
B.Tech, Computer Science & Engineering, Jaypee University of Engineering & Technology, Guna (2022 – 2026).

What is applied AI?
Applied AI is the engineering that puts language models to work inside real products: deciding where a model actually helps, connecting it to the app's data and tools, checking what it returns, and keeping cost and failures under control. The model is one part of the system, not the whole product.
Why an applied AI engineer?
A model demo takes an afternoon. Making it dependable for real users, with real data and real money, is the hard part. That is the job of an applied AI engineer, and this is how I approach it:
Guardrails first
Every model call passes one gateway with auth, rate limits, a kill switch and a daily spend cap.
AI drafts, people decide
The model proposes stock imports, replies and restock ideas. Nothing is saved until the owner approves it.
Checked output
Responses are validated against a Zod schema. Malformed output fails closed: the user sees an error and nothing is saved.
Measured, not guessed
Eval cases cover misspellings, Hindi aliases and gibberish input, and JMeter load tests check the guardrails under concurrency: 50 buyers racing for the last 5 units still make exactly 5 orders.
