What I'm doing now
A living snapshot of current focus, inspired by Derek Sivers' /now page movement. Last updated September 2026.
Open to work
My Dell Technologies engagement (via Turing) wrapped in July 2026. Since then I've been building applied-AI systems full time — and I'm actively interviewing for senior full-stack and AI engineering roles, available to start immediately.
Learning
- AI engineering in depth: RAG quality, agent architectures, tool calling, and evaluation
- Python for data science and quantitative work
- kdb+/q for time-series analytics — the language of capital-markets infrastructure
- Web3 and blockchain fundamentals
Building
- Applied AI full time since July 2026 — the post-Dell focus, not a side project
- quant-platform — a spec-driven quantitative trading platform (data ingestion first, strategies next)
- UnderstandingAI — extending the local RAG agent with more tools and better retrieval
- This portfolio — Next.js static export, auto-refreshed GitHub and Credly data
Recent experiments
- ATS resume optimizer — client-side keyword scoring with a rule-based paraphrase engine
- Stock analyzer in q — moving averages and volume aggregation over tick data in kdb+
- Running llama3 locally with Ollama for private, zero-cost inference
Goals
- Actively interviewing — available to start immediately, remote worldwide or UAE
- Land a senior full-stack / AI engineer role at a product-driven, remote-first company
- Ship an end-to-end AI feature to real users — retrieval, agents, and the observability around them
- Finish the MBA (Pondicherry University) while keeping the engineering edge sharp
- Write more: one engineering note per month, grounded in real systems
