AI Engineer & Systems Developer

Building where intelligence
meets the machine.

Final-year BS-AI student crafting work that spans two layers most people keep separate — the operating system underneath, and the models running on top of it.

About

Two disciplines, one practice

I'm an aspiring AI engineer and systems developer with a practical foundation that spans the operating system and the model running on it. Recent work includes a userspace daemon that reaches into the Linux scheduler directly, a CCTV violence-detection pipeline judged on real accuracy numbers, and a distributed data pipeline benchmarked against plain Pandas. I like problems that don't stay inside one layer of the stack.

Systems

C, Linux kernel APIs, /proc introspection, CPU scheduling & affinity.

AI / ML

TensorFlow/Keras, CNN/RNN/LSTM pipelines, transfer learning.

Parallel Data

Dask Distributed, DAG-based execution, out-of-core processing.

Formal Logic

Propositional & first-order logic, description logic, resolution proofs.

Selected Work

Things I've built

01

Intelligent Workload Optimization System

C · Linux Kernel API · /proc · dirent.h

A high-performance userspace daemon that tackles resource contention and micro-stuttering in Ubuntu's Completely Fair Scheduler, iterating through /proc for zero-overhead process introspection.

  • Manual kernel introspection via /proc parsing
  • Hardware CPU affinity via sched_setaffinity
  • Dynamic priority tuning via setpriority
02

Smart-City CCTV Violence Detection Pipeline

Python · TensorFlow/Keras · MobileNetV2

An end-to-end video classification pipeline judging CCTV footage across three classes: Normal, Violence, and Weaponized.

  • Frozen MobileNetV2 backbone for spatial features
  • SimpleRNN vs. LSTM sequence models compared
  • 98.3% test accuracy, 0.983 weighted F1-score
03

Parallel Weather Data Processing

Python · Dask Distributed · Pandas · DAG

A decoupled master-worker parallel pipeline benchmarked against sequential Pandas on a synthetic 3,000,000-record dataset.

  • 2.70× speedup factor, 63% runtime reduction
  • Computations modeled as DAGs
  • Safe out-of-core host memory management
04

KRR for Optimal Transport Selection

Propositional & First-Order Logic · Description Logic · Resolution Proofs

Real-world decision scenarios formalized across five knowledge representation paradigms.

  • Forward/backward chaining
  • Resolution proofs in CNF
  • Optimal choices under dynamic conditions
