About kalash

I’m a Software Engineer and recent MS in Computer Science graduate from the University at Buffalo, with 2 years of full-stack engineering experience at eClerx, building high-impact, production-grade digital products at scale. My background spans fullstack and applied AI/ML, supported by graduate coursework in Machine Learning, Deep Learning, Pattern Recognition, Computer Vision, and Data-Intensive Computing. I’ve worked hands-on with modern ML workflows using Python, PyTorch, and MLOps tooling, and I’m particularly interested in applied machine learning, deep learning, reinforcement learning, and productionizing AI systems. I’m also a hackathon winner, having co-built an AI-powered mental wellness application that delivered empathetic, context-aware experiences under rapid development timelines. I’m actively seeking opportunities across Backend Engineering, AI/ML Engineering, and AI-driven product roles, where I can combine strong systems thinking with modern AI to build scalable, real-world solutions.
