Projects
theraviraiSource Stream
Enterprise RAG Ingestion & Search Platform
Modular Retrieval-Augmented Generation platform that ingests PDFs, recursively crawls documentation, and performs semantic search using LangChain and Qdrant.
LLM Agent
Local Tool Calling Agent
Terminal-based conversational agent running locally on Ollama with a Python control loop. Implements dynamic tool schemas for custom SQLite database operations.
EEG Data Exposure
USaP Lab, Paderborn University
Real-time data pipeline streaming 4-channel EEG signals at 256Hz over Bluetooth Low Energy. Integrates an SVM classifier for real-time emotion recognition.
Outflow
AI-Powered Personal Finance Platform
Conversational finance platform using Flask and PostgreSQL. Features an AI assistant capable of tracking expenses and answering spending queries through natural language.
AI Engineering Workflow
Agentic AIMy development workflow heavily leverages AI agents and tools for scaffolding, refactoring, and orchestrating complex pipelines. I use prompt engineering, function calling, and structured data outputs to build robust generative AI systems.
- ›Agentic Design Patterns: Implementing robust tool calling, dispatcher loops, and intent routing for AI agents.
- ›RAG Optimization: Building hybrid search pipelines with semantic embedding, chunking strategies, and vector databases.
- ›LLMOps & Evaluation: Tracing execution pipelines, implementing guardrails, and running LLM-as-a-judge evaluations.
Research & Open Source
Taxonomy of False Positive Patterns in SAST tools for Java
Conducted academic research to identify and categorize the root causes of false positives in Static Application Security Testing (SAST) tools for Java. Developed a comprehensive taxonomy with 7 top-level categories by systematically reviewing literature across Google Scholar, IEEE Xplore, and ACM.
The Usability Challenges of Passwordless Authentication
Systematic Literature Review analyzing the security and usability trade-offs of biometric, OTP, and security key authentication methods based on studies from 2019-2023. Explores key user challenges including mistrust and fear of losing account access.
Open Source Builder
I actively share code and insights on AI workflows. With thousands of commits on GitHub, my focus is on continuously building reliable systems from scratch and contributing to the open-source community.
