About Me

Software Engineer with 5+ years of hands-on experience building data-driven, AI, machine learning, and computer vision enabled backend systems and industrial automation solutions. Currently at Integral Systems, Inc., implementing computer vision features, full-stack web and mobile applications, and CRM tools using React, Python (Django/Flask), and Databricks.

I specialize in Python, Java, JavaScript, Spring Boot, and AWS, with expertise in computer vision, NLP, RAG systems, and PLC-integrated industrial automation (OPCDA/OPCUA). My experience spans from building ML-powered document processing systems at UWM and Cognizant, to developing real-time industrial automation software at Comau with Jenkins, Docker, and microservices.

I hold a Master of Science in Computer Science from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, where I was awarded the Chancellor's Graduate Student Award. My research focused on a full-stack AI system for automating graduate admission document extraction, summarization, and evaluation, significantly improving faculty review efficiency.

Featured Projects

Computer Vision

Computer Vision–Based Milk Bottle Detection on Conveyor Belt

Developed a computer vision system to detect milk bottles and caps on a moving conveyor belt, simulating real-world industrial production conditions. Used Autodistill with Grounded SAM for automatic labeling, trained YOLOv8 for accurate real-time detection, and performed video-based inference for manufacturing quality control and automation integration.
