🧠 About Me

  • 💼 Role: AI/ML Engineer specializing in Generative AI, Agentic AI, LLM fine-tuning, agent memory, Computer Vision, and edge/local LLM inference.
  • 🔬 Focus: Local-first, privacy-preserving AI: fine-tuning small models (QLoRA), serving them as GGUF on CPU-only hardware, and wrapping them in reliable agent runtimes (tool calling, persistent memory, context management).
  • 🎓 Education: B.Tech in CSE (AI & ML), Vignan Institute of Technology and Science, Hyderabad (2022–2026).
  • 👀 Interests: Applied AI, Agentic AI, Local LLMs, NLP, Computer Vision, MLOps.

🚀 Featured Projects

Project What it is Stack
⚡ OlaiEdge (formerly FastAgent · Open Source, MIT) Headless, drop-in local LLM runtime (SDK + background daemon) for desktop apps. Cuts steady-state prompt latency from ~3,500 ms to ~73 ms on a CPU-only, 8 GB machine with zero OOM failures in long tool loops. Adds a RAM-budget enforcer, process watchdog, multi-tab slot cache, and offline signed licensing; 26 tests. Paper Python, llama.cpp, LCP slot caching, 8-bit KV-cache quantization, GBNF, Electron/Tauri/Flutter SDKs
🧠 HERM4AI (Open Source, MIT) Human-like Evolving & Reasoning Memory for AI: a model-free cognitive memory architecture for LLM agents (valid-time store, 7-slot working memory, associative knowledge graph, sleep-phase consolidation, ACT-R arbitration, Q-MIA provenance). Shows flat vector RAG suffers temporal inversion (41.7% obsolete retrievals), dual collapse (9.0% top-1 at 10k passages), and prompt poisoning (33–40% hallucination); HERM4AI reaches 100% on 7 benchmark suites at <2 ms CPU latency; 36 tests. Paper Python, SQLite, Knowledge Graphs, ACT-R
🛠️ TAEL-Agent · 🤗 Model Privacy-preserving local autonomous SWE agent. IBM Granite 3.1 2B Instruct fine-tuned with QLoRA on a 29,900-sample, three-phase curriculum, deployed as a 4-bit GGUF. Runtime has 9-category task routing, 10 sandboxed workspace tools, four-pillar persistent memory, and context-budget management. VS Code extension with refactoring, diff previews, and autonomous tool execution. 8/8 benchmark-domain passes in the reported evaluation suite. QLoRA, GGUF, Ollama, TypeScript, VS Code API
🐾 WildGuardAI (IEEE Xplore, 2026) Real-time wildlife-conflict prediction from camera feeds with GPS-based alerts for forest officers and villagers. YOLOv12n, BoT-SORT, Kalman Filter, Flask, SQLite
🧓 JivanMitra Offline-first, voice-enabled, multilingual AI companion for elders in India. LangChain, RAG, agentic AI

More projects:

  • 🌍 Terrascope AI (live): zero-paid-API platform scoring any city or coordinate across 16 socio-environmental dimensions and 5 personas, using rule-based scoring over Open-Meteo, OpenStreetMap Overpass, and Wikipedia data. Deployed on Cloudflare Pages.
  • 🔒 Personal AI Agent: local-first, privacy-focused assistant (Ollama, LanceDB).
  • 📚 Offline Deep Research Agent: reasons over documents entirely offline (Ollama, Mistral, LangChain).
  • 🧑‍💼 TalentRank AI (live demo): AI-assisted recruiting platform with JWT auth, AI candidate ranking, and analytics (React 18, Vite, Express, SQLite).
  • 🪶 Hearthwren (in development): local-first, CPU-only AI coding agent.
