Who I Am

I come from a small Himalayan village near the Panchachuli peaks in the Kumaon region of Uttarakhand, India . My journey is defined by a leap of faith, leaving my roots to seek new challenges and expand my horizons in the pursuit of professional excellence.

By Profession, I am an AI Engineer specializing in Agentic AI, LLM systems, RAG and RLHF. My experience lies in building RLHF pipelines, RAG systems, evaluation pipelines, fine-tuning LLMs, and adversarial testing frameworks using PyTorch, Hugging Face, and LangChain.

I enjoy learning new AI technologies, reading research papers, and building AI systems. I believe in building an AI community where everyone, regardless of their background, feels welcome to learn, contribute, and grow.

What I Work On

I am deeply passionate about advancing AI in a safe, reliable, and impactful direction. My work lies at the intersection of Trustworthy AI and LLM Safety, and Advanced Knowledge Systems (RAG).

I build and evaluate large language model systems with a focus on reliability, safety, and real-world performance. My work combines LLM engineering (fine-tuning, RLHF, RAG) with systematic evaluation to understand how models behave under challenging and adversarial conditions.

Designing and deploying LLM pipelines (RLHF, RAG, fine-tuning)
Building evaluation frameworks for safety, robustness, and utility
Identifying and stress-testing failure modes in LLM systems
Improving model generalization under distribution shifts

I am driven by the goal of building AI systems that are not only powerful, but also trustworthy and beneficial in real-world.

Beyond the Code

I love Martial Arts because of Goku ❤️. I have trained in various arts of combat in the last few years at my University and Clubs like Judo, BJJ, Boxing, Kickboxing and Wrestling. Currently, I am focusing on my Harai Goshi 🥋 :-)

I often find myself dwelling in the domain of Spirituality. I enjoy reading and discussing about the ancient wisdom of the Vedas, Yoga, and Bhagavad Gita.

"Even the gods desire to dominate others. Then why should I stop Shivji?

Because a true warrior doesn’t seek to dominate, but to discipline his own spirit. He knows nothing about surpassing others, only how to outdo himself. As he knows that - A strong man stands above and conquers all."
