About Me
I am currently the Director of AI at Sprouts AI. We are buildling the intelligent AI agents for the enterprise. I'm a hands-on AI engineer/consultant with a strong background in developing and deploying AI apps leveraging RAGs, Knowledge Graphs, LLMs, Diffusion, LoRAs, fine-tuning and deploying open-source models.
I've been working with AI since 2018 and have been a part of multiple AI startups. I've been fortunate to work with some of the best minds in the field and have been able to build products that are used by hundreds of users such as Insyte AI, Taskaid AI, Instamagic AI.
